Endoscopic & Diagnostic Procedures
Diagnostic checking and life-saving therapeutic interventions performed with state-of-the-art medical scopes under conscious sedation, ensuring absolute clinical precision and zero patient pain.
Diagnostic Checks vs. Therapeutic Interventions
Medical scoping serves two vital roles: visually identifying disease pathologies (diagnostic) and treating the issue directly inside the gastrointestinal tract (therapeutic).
| Clinical Procedure | Classification | Core Purpose | Anesthesia Level | Care Setting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upper GI Endoscopy (EGD) | Diagnostic | Identify ulcers, inflammation, H. pylori, cancers | Throat spray / light sedation | Daycare (Outpatient) |
| Colonoscopy & Polypectomy | Dual-Role | Check colon blockages and snare polyps instantly | Conscious Sedation (IV) | Daycare (Outpatient) |
| ERCP (Stone Extraction) | Therapeutic | Remove bile duct stones and place stents | Deep Sedation / General | Daycare or 24h Admit |
| EVL Banding / Varices Care | Therapeutic | Tie off bleeding blood vessels in esophagus | Intravenous Sedation | Emergency or Daycare |
| Liver Fibroscan | Diagnostic | Quantify liver scarring and fat accumulation | None (Non-invasive) | Clinic consultation room |
