Digestive Disorders
Digestive disorders encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.
Upper Gastrointestinal Disease
The gastrointestinal tract (GI) extends from the mouth to the anus. It is divided into upper and lower GI tracts.
Heartburn
Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest, just behind the breastbone. This discomfort often rises from the lower chest and can extend to the throat.
Esophageal Dilation
Esophageal dilation is a procedure which dilates or widens a narrowed or constricted section of the esophagus.
Diarrhea
Diarrhea is loose, watery, frequent bowel movements resulting in the elimination of water and salts from the body and can result in dehydration.
Constipation
Constipation is a condition where stools or bowel movements become hard and difficult to expel from the body.
Interventional Endoscopy
Interventional endoscopy refers to a specialized field within gastroenterology and surgery that involves using endoscopic techniques to diagnose and treat various conditions.
Upper GI Endoscopy
Upper GI endoscopy, also known as Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a procedure to visually examine and treat problems in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is an endoscopic procedure used to view the large intestine (colon and rectum) using an instrument called a colonoscope (a flexible tube with a small camera and lens attached at one end).
