Endoscopy is a revolutionary medical procedure that enables doctors to examine and treat various gastrointestinal (GI) conditions without the need for major surgery. Using a flexible tube with a camera and light at its tip, endoscopy provides real-time imaging and access to the digestive tract, making it an essential tool for both diagnosis and treatment.
Key Endoscopic Procedures and Their Benefits
1. CBD Stone Removal
(Common Bile Duct Stone Removal)
- Bile duct stones can cause severe pain, jaundice, and infection if left untreated.
- Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is used to remove these stones and restore normal bile flow.
2. Pancreatitis Management
- In cases of acute or chronic pancreatitis, endoscopy is used for fluid drainage and stone removal in the pancreatic ducts.
- It helps reduce complications and improves pancreatic function.
3. Esophageal Stenting
- Used for patients with esophageal strictures or cancer, a stent keeps the esophagus open to allow for normal swallowing.
- It significantly improves quality of life and nutritional intake.
4. Strictures Dilation
- Some patients suffer from narrowed sections of the digestive tract due to conditions like acid reflux, Crohn’s disease, or scarring.
- Endoscopic dilation expands these constricted areas, allowing for better food passage and digestion.
