At Sandozi Health, we specialize in various types of endoscopic procedures, each designed to provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment options for GI conditions

Upper GI Endoscopy (EGD):

• Purpose: This procedure allows visualization and examination of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
• Indications: Upper GI endoscopy is commonly performed to investigate symptoms such as abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, reflux, nausea, and vomiting.
• Diagnostic Capabilities: It enables the detection of abnormalities such as ulcers, inflammation (gastritis), tumors, and strictures.

Colonoscopy:

• Purpose: A colonoscopy involves examining the large intestine (colon and rectum) using a flexible tube with a camera (colonoscope) inserted through the rectum.
• Indications: Screening for colorectal cancer, investigation of symptoms like rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, and evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
• Therapeutic Uses: Colonoscopy allows for the removal of polyps, biopsy of suspicious lesions, and management of bleeding sources.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP):

• Purpose: ERCP combines endoscopy with X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat disorders of the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas.
• Indications: Commonly used for investigating jaundice, pancreatitis, gallstones, and bile duct strictures.
• Interventional Capabilities: ERCP can be therapeutic, allowing for procedures such as stone removal, stent placement, and tissue sampling.

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS):

• Purpose: EUS involves combining endoscopy with ultrasound imaging to obtain detailed images of the GI tract and adjacent organs (e.g., pancreas, bile ducts).
• Indications: Used for staging cancers, diagnosing pancreatic cysts, evaluating lesions not seen on traditional imaging, and guiding fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for tissue sampling.
