Interventional Endoscopy Center — diagnostics and treatment through thin tube

Doctors perform endoscopy procedures using a flexible and thin tube (an endoscope) inserted through the nose, mouth or anus. A patient does not feel pain

— an intervention is carried out under local anesthesia.

Diagnostic endoscopy is an accurate technique. It is a long, tube-like instrument with a mini video camera that shows HD-quality images on the monitor. This helps to make an accurate diagnosis and correct treatment plan.

Endoscopic treatment can replace expensive open surgery. Such a procedure is performed through small incisions or natural body openings to diagnose and treat the disease. A surgeon uses an endoscope with special instruments on it to remove polyps, tumors, perform biliary drainage, set stents (tubes) and restore food transmission.
