Diagnostic endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the digestive tract and detect abnormalities with high precision. At Dynamic Super-Speciality Liver and Gastro Centre, Patna, we offer advanced endoscopic procedures to diagnose a wide range of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, ensuring accurate assessments and timely treatment.
Endoscopy plays a crucial role in identifying conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and colon. Patients experiencing persistent acidity, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, or rectal bleeding can benefit from a detailed endoscopic evaluation. By using a flexible tube with a high-definition camera (endoscope), doctors can directly visualize the inner lining of the digestive tract, allowing for early detection of diseases.
One of the most commonly performed diagnostic endoscopic procedures is gastroscopy (upper GI endoscopy). This procedure is used to examine the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, helping to diagnose conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett’s esophagus, and stomach cancer. It provides real-time imaging of the upper digestive tract, enabling doctors to detect abnormalities and collect tissue samples (biopsy) for further analysis.
Another essential diagnostic procedure is colonoscopy, which is used to evaluate the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Colonoscopy helps in the early detection of colon polyps, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colorectal cancer, and diverticulosis. Since colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, routine screening with colonoscopy is recommended, especially for individuals over 50 years of age or those with a family history of colorectal cancer.
For a focused examination of the lower digestive tract, sigmoidoscopy is performed. This procedure helps assess the rectum and sigmoid colon, identifying conditions such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, polyps, and colorectal cancer. Sigmoidoscopy is less invasive than a full colonoscopy and is often used as an initial screening test.
We also offer narrow-band imaging (NBI), an advanced endoscopic technique that enhances visualization of mucosal abnormalities. NBI improves early detection of precancerous lesions, particularly in cases of esophageal and stomach cancers, ensuring prompt and effective intervention.
During a diagnostic endoscopy, biopsies can be taken for histopathological examination. This is particularly useful for diagnosing H. pylori infection, celiac disease, inflammatory disorders, and cancerous growths. The procedure is safe, well-tolerated, and performed under mild sedation, ensuring patient comfort.
