Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule endoscopy is a procedure that uses a pill-sized, wireless camera to allow your doctor to examine the inside of your small intestine, an area that cannot be reached by a traditional upper endoscopy or colonoscopy.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a procedure used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum. A colonoscopy is also performed to screen for colon cancer every 10 years, look for and remove polyps, and investigate other intestinal symptoms.
EGD with Bravo Technology
An EGD with Bravo is a minimally invasive procedure that combines an upper endoscopy (EGD) with the placement of a wireless capsule to measure acid levels in the esophagus for 48-96 hours.
Endoscopic Mucosal Resection
Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to remove early-stage cancers, precancerous growths, or abnormal tissues from the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography
An ERCP is a specialized procedure that typically lasts between 30 to 90 minutes and is conducted by a specially trained, advanced endoscopic, interventional gastroenterologist.
Endoscopic Ultrasound
An endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive procedure that combines endoscopy and ultrasound technology to provide highly detailed images of the digestive tract and the surrounding organs.
Hemorrhoidal Banding
Hemorrhoidal banding is a procedure performed to shrink and eliminate hemorrhoids, especially internal hemorrhoids, through the use of small rubber bands.
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
A flexible sigmoidoscopy is used to investigate the possible causes of intestinal symptoms or to screen for colon cancer every five years.
Medtronic InterStim™
Medtronic Bowel Control Therapy delivered by the InterStim™ system is a treatment option for chronic fecal incontinence. Unlike conventional treatments, the Medtronic InterStim™ system gently stimulates the sacral nerves in the pelvic area that control bowel function.
Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy
The Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) procedure is designed to address specific motility disorders, like achalasia, a conditioned marked by excessive tightness in the sphincter muscle between the esophagus and the stomach.
Small Bowel Enteroscopy
A small bowel enteroscopy is a procedure that allows for a comprehensive examination of the entire small intestine using an endoscope. By inflating the endoscope with air, sections of the small bowel are expanded, providing the camera with a clearer view.
Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe)
TORe is a minimally invasive, endoscopic procedure aimed at addressing weight regain after gastric bypass surgery.
Upper Endoscopy
An upper endoscopy can diagnose and, in some cases, treat conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, and the beginning of the small intestine (duodenum).
VELACUR - Liver Scan
A VELACUR liver scan is an ultrasound imaging tool that is used to measure two of the key indicators of fatty liver disease: liver stiffness and attenuation.
