Diagnosis of a medical condition does not always warrant a surgical approach. Many conditions can be investigated by radiographic\/laboratory measures as well as endoscopic procedures. Endoscopy offers the placement of a thin flexible video scope through either the mouth or the rectum to offer a perspective to the surgeon to see the stomach or the intestine from within. We are pleased to offer the following procedures:<\/p>\n
\u25cf Flexible sigmoidoscopy – a flexible scope placed through the rectum used to screen for any rectal and\/or sigmoid colonic tumors.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Colonoscopy – a flexible scope placed through the rectum allowing for diagnosis and\/or removal of colonic disease such as polyps, infection and\/or cancer.<\/p>\n
\u25cf EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) – a flexible scope placed through the mouth that allows for a diagnosis of problems of the esophagus (swallowing tube) and the stomach including reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and cancer.<\/p>\n
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is usually done in the office and can be done with sedation. Colonoscopy and EGD are usually performed in a hospital setting with the patient having been given a twilight sleep anesthesia. All of these procedures are performed with your safety and comfort in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
