Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
NON-INVASIVE BREATH TESTS FOR H. PYLORI DETECTION
A Helicobacter pylori breath test is a non-invasive method used frequently to detect this common bacterial infection associated with gastritis and peptic ulcers. It offers rapid results without discomfort from endoscopic procedures.
ESOPHAGEAL MANOMETRY
This specialized test measures pressures inside the esophagus to evaluate muscular function critical for swallowing. Esophageal manometry helps diagnose motility disorders affecting esophageal muscle coordination and sphincter function.
- Symptoms and causes: Considered when patients report swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), chest pain unrelated to heart issues, or gastroesophageal reflux resistant to medications.
- Diagnosis process: A thin catheter with pressure sensors placed nasally records muscle contractions during controlled swallows providing detailed functional data on esophageal motility patterns. Treatment/management options:: Results help guide appropriate therapies including medication adjustment, lifestyle changes, or surgical decisions tailored specifically based on dysfunction type identified such as achalasia or spasm disorders.
- What to expect: The test takes about 30-60 minutes without sedation; mild nasal discomfort can occur but no downtime is usually required.
This study plays an indispensable role diagnosing subtle motility abnormalities that cannot be detected by imaging alone ensuring precise management planning.
ENDOSCOPIC RETROGRADE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY (ERCP)
The ERCP procedure combines endoscopy with fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat problems involving the bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder. It is both diagnostic and therapeutic for specific biliary conditions.
- Symptoms and causes: Recommended in cases of jaundice, pancreatitis due to gallstones, or biliary strictures causing obstruction symptoms like itching or dark urine.
- Diagnosis process: An endoscope passes to the duodenum where dye is injected into bile ducts allowing x-rays that highlight blockages or leaks clearly on imaging.
- Treatment/management options: Procedures may include stone removal, stent placements, or biopsy via instruments passed through the scope during ERCP itself reducing need for surgery.
- What to expect: Patients undergo sedation; post-procedure monitoring ensures no complications like pancreatitis occur; typically outpatient but sometimes requires observation overnight depending on complexity.
This approach offers targeted intervention that alleviates obstructions swiftly improving patient outcomes when timely performed by skilled professionals.
CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY
This innovative diagnostic tool allows visualization of small intestine segments inaccessible by traditional endoscopy. Patients swallow a small camera capsule which transmits images wirelessly as it travels through the digestive tract.
- Symptoms and causes: Indicated in obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, suspected Crohn’s disease, or unexplained iron deficiency anemia when other tests are inconclusive.
- Diagnosis process: The capsule captures thousands of images over 8 hours which are reviewed by specialists to detect lesions, ulcers or tumors.
- Treatment/management options: Finding abnormalities guides medical therapy adjustments without subjecting patients to invasive procedures immediately.
- What to expect: The test is non-invasive requiring no sedation; patients can move about normally but must avoid MRI scans until capsule exits naturally within days.
This comfortable technique expands diagnostic reach improving management plans especially in complex small bowel diseases not visible otherwise.
UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL ENDOSCOPY (EGD)
An upper GI endoscopy enables detailed inspection of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum through a thin flexible tube with a camera. It's vital for diagnosing various upper digestive tract conditions.
- Symptoms and causes: It is commonly recommended for persistent symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained nausea, or upper abdominal pain.
- Diagnosis process: The scope is gently passed through the mouth into the upper GI tract to directly visualize inflammation, ulcers, or tumors and take biopsies if needed.
- Treatment/management options: Therapeutic interventions can be performed during the exam such as bleeding control or dilation of strictures in addition to diagnosis.
- What to expect: Conducted under mild sedation lasting approximately 10-15 minutes; patients need a short recovery before discharge with minimal side effects like sore throat possible.
This technique offers valuable insight into upper digestive disorders ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment while avoiding more invasive procedures.
COLONOSCOPY SCREENING AND POLYPECTOMY
A colonoscopy is a critical procedure used primarily for screening colorectal cancer and detecting precancerous polyps. It involves examining the inner lining of the large intestine using a flexible camera to identify abnormalities early.
- Symptoms and causes: Often performed proactively, especially for individuals over 50 or those with a family history of colorectal diseases; can also investigate symptoms like bleeding or persistent abdominal pain.
- Diagnosis process: A flexible endoscope is inserted through the rectum to visualize the colon, allowing direct observation of mucosal surfaces and detection of polyps or lesions.
- Treatment/management options: Polyps found during the procedure are typically removed via polypectomy, which reduces cancer risk without need for surgery.
- What to expect: The procedure usually lasts 20-30 minutes under sedation; patients may experience mild cramping afterward and require brief recovery time before resuming normal activities.
This minimally invasive approach provides an essential preventive service that significantly reduces morbidity from colorectal cancer when adhered to as part of routine health checks.
