Illuminating Your Health: Endoscopy Services at Mansusu Hospital
At Mansusu Hospital, we prioritize minimally invasive diagnostic techniques to ensure accurate diagnoses and a quicker recovery for you. Our endoscopy services utilize specialized equipment to examine the interior of various organs, allowing for a detailed evaluation of potential issues.
What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a long, thin, flexible tube with a light and camera attached. This tube, called an endoscope, is inserted into the body through a natural opening or a small incision. The camera transmits images to a screen, allowing the doctor to examine the inner lining of the organ in detail.
Types of Endoscopy Offered at Mansusu Hospital:
- Gastroscopy (Upper Endoscopy): Examines the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine) to investigate ulcers, bleeding, or inflammation.
- Colonoscopy: Examines the inner lining of the colon and rectum for polyps, cancer, or other abnormalities. (See our dedicated colonoscopy page for more details).
- Bronchoscopy: Examines the airways (windpipe and bronchi) for lung infections, blockages, or other abnormalities.
- Cystoscopy: Examines the inside of the bladder and urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder) to investigate urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or other issues.
- Minimally invasive: Endoscopy offers a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery, resulting in quicker recovery times and less discomfort.
- Accurate diagnosis: Endoscopy allows for a clear visualization of the internal organs, leading to more accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
- Early detection: Endoscopy can help detect certain conditions in their early stages, allowing for prompt treatment and potentially improving outcomes.
- Experienced team: Our team of gastroenterologists and other specialists are highly skilled and experienced in performing various endoscopic procedures.
- Advanced technology: We utilize state-of-the-art endoscopes and equipment to ensure a safe and efficient experience.
What to Expect During an Endoscopy at Mansusu Hospital:
- Consultation: Before your endoscopy, you will consult with your doctor to discuss the specific procedure, its benefits and risks, and answer any questions you may have.
- Preparation: Depending on the type of endoscopy, you may need to follow specific instructions regarding fasting or medication beforehand.
- The procedure: You will likely receive a sedative to keep you comfortable during the procedure. The doctor will insert the endoscope and carefully examine the internal lining of the organ. Biopsy samples may be taken for further testing if necessary.
- Recovery: After the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area until you are ready to go home.
