Diagnostic and Therapeutic endoscopy

Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, including:

  • conventional gastroscopy and colonoscopy,
  • enteral stents,
  • banding of esophageal varices,
  • endoscopic treatment for gastrointestinal bleeding,
  • complex polypectomy,
  • dilatation of oesophageal/anastamotic strictures,
  • haemorrhoids banding.

 

Therapeutic endoscopy is the medical term for an endoscopic procedure during which treatment is carried out via the endoscope. This contrasts with diagnostic endoscopy, where the aim of the procedure is purely to visualise a part of the gastrointestinal, respiratory or urinary tract in order to aid diagnosis. In practice, a procedure which starts as a diagnostic endoscopy may become a therapeutic endoscopy depending on the findings, such as in cases of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, or the finding of polyps during colonoscopy.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic endoscopy with or without sedation.
