Diagnostic UGI endoscopy and biopsy and antral self expanding metal stents (SEMS)
Capsule endoscopy is a way to record images of the digestive tract for use in medicine. The capsule is the size and shape of a pill and contains a tiny camera. After a patient swallows the capsule, it takes pictures of the inside of the gastrointestinal tract.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a technique that combines the use of endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat certain problems of the biliary or pancreatic ductal systems.
FibroScan is the most recommended non-invasive device to use in the clinical management of patients with liver disease. Detecting fibrosis early provides an opportunity to change your lifestyle to prevent the fibrosis becoming more widespread and leading to an even more severe chronic liver disease. The FibroScan is completely painless and so you will not require an anaesthetic or any sedation.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a medical procedure in which endoscopy is combined with ultrasound to obtain images of the internal organs in the chest, abdomen and colon. It can be used to visualize the walls of these organs, or to look at adjacent structures. Combined and Dopper imaging, nearby blood vessels can also be evaluated.
Endoscopic ultrasonography is most commonly used in the upper digestive tract and in the respiratory systems. For the patient, the procedure feels almost identical to the endoscopic procedure without the ultrasound part, unless ultrasound-guided biopsy of deeper structures is performed.
