Procedures
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a type of endoscopy that is used to examine the colon and small intestine in order to detect any abnormalities (inflammation, ulcers, etc.). The procedure usually lasts around 15-20 minutes.
BRAVO capsule
A small capsule, about the size of a gel cap, is temporarily attached to the wall of the esophagus during an upper endoscopy.
The capsule measures pH levels in the esophagus and transmits readings to a receiver. It will remain for five to seven days and will pass through the digestive track
Gastro Intestinal bleeding management
To stop GI bleeding gastroscopy, colonoscopy, or flexible sigmoidoscopy is used. The bleeding is managed with either medicine, heat probes, lasers, or band and clip.
The procedure depends on the bleeding.
