What is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a flexible tube with a light and camera (endoscope) into the body to examine internal organs and structures. Depending on the area of interest, endoscopy can be performed through natural body openings or small incisions. It is commonly used to:

• Diagnose Medical Conditions: Identifying issues such as tumors, ulcers, inflammation, or infections.
• Guide Treatment: Performing procedures like biopsies, polypectomies, or stent placements.
• Monitor Chronic Conditions: Evaluating and managing ongoing health issues.

Types of Endoscopy

Himas Hospital offers a range of endoscopic procedures tailored to different parts of the body:

1. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

• Gastroscopy (Upper Endoscopy): Used to examine the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. This procedure helps diagnose conditions like GERD, peptic ulcers, and gastritis.
• Colonoscopy: Aimed at inspecting the colon and rectum to screen for colorectal cancer, polyps, and other abnormalities. It is crucial for early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer.
• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): Combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts and pancreas, such as gallstones or bile duct obstruction.

2. Urological Endoscopy

• Cystoscopy: Used to examine the bladder and urethra. It is helpful in diagnosing bladder infections, tumors, and urinary tract obstructions.
• Ureteroscopy: An endoscopic procedure to inspect the ureters and kidneys, often used to diagnose and treat kidney stones or tumors.

3. Laparoscopic Endoscopy

• Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive technique involving small incisions and an endoscope to view the abdominal or pelvic cavity. It is often used for diagnostic purposes and to perform surgeries such as appendectomies or hernia repairs.
