Many patients are sure that abdominal ultrasound provides complete information about the state of internal organs. In fact, ultrasound diagnostics makes it possible to examine only the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys and spleen. The ultrasound method does not allow examining the esophagus, stomach and intestines.
Fibrogastroscopy is the most reliable and informative study of the esophagus, stomach and the initial part of the bulb) of the duodenum. Endoscopy is an internal examination of these organs.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy reveals:
- inflammatory processes of the esophagus (esophagitis), stomach (gastritis), duodenum (duodenitis);
- erosion and ulcers of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum;
- expansion of the veins of the esophagus;
- polyps;
- tumors benign and malignant;
- source of gastrointestinal bleeding;
- foreign body.
Fibrogastroscopy allows you to control the healing process of ulcers and erosions.
With fibrogastroscopy, it is possible to conduct a biopsy – taking tissues for morphological examination. Such a study is carried out for the purpose of differential diagnosis. So with peptic ulcer in the tissues, signs of an inflammatory process are found. In oncological diseases, cancer cells are found in the examined tissue.
Gastroscopy is a study that causes not very pleasant sensations. In order to reduce them, we purchased a “thin” endoscope, the tube diameter of which is 1.5 times smaller than conventional endoscopes. Extensive experience of the doctor-endoscopist and a “thin” probe will make the examination procedure short and easier to tolerate by patients.
Colonoscopy is an effective method that allows you to quickly obtain comprehensive information about the condition of the large intestine. The use of a colonoscope (a flexible, controllable probe with a camera) makes it possible to effectively and reliably detect bowel diseases at the earliest stages of development, when they do not yet manifest themselves as obvious symptoms.
Colonoscopy is an endoscopic examination of the large intestine. It allows you to examine its mucous membrane, identify inflammatory diseases, polyps and tumors, bleeding sites, and, if necessary, take material for a biopsy.
