Gastroenterology
In Liv Hospital Gaziantep Gastroenterology Department, the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of digestive system diseases are being performed.
AREAS OF STUDY OF THE GASTROENTEROLOGY SPECIALİST
The fields in which gastroenterology specialists work are quite wide and are divided into two main headings,
First; They are diseases of the esophagus (esophagus), stomach, small intestines, large intestines (colon) and breech region (anus), which we call the gastrointestinal tract.
The second is; They are diseases of the liver and biliary tract (hepatobiliary system).
HOW ARE THESE DISEASES DIAGNOSED AND TREATED?
For these days, advanced biochemical tests, radiological examinations (such as various films, ultrasonography, tomography and MR) diagnostic methods are used. Especially for the diagnosis of esophagus, stomach and duodenum diseases, the diagnosis is made by talking to the patient and performing endoscopy (gastroscopy) after the examination. In the diagnosis and treatment of stones and cancers of the biliary tract, it is diagnosed and treated with a special endoscopy device, which we call side-view duodenoscopy. Diagnosis of diverticulum, diagnosis and removal of polyps from diseases of the colon and breech, diagnosis of cancer and interventions to bleeding are performed with an endoscope that can be bent inside the intestines, called colonoscopy.
In these procedures, esophagus, stomach and duodenum examination can be performed by locally numbing the throat, as well as gastroscopy, ERCP and colonoscopy are performed with the patient fully asleep and the patient will not remember anything. In addition, a very special device called endoscopic ultrasonography, in which endoscopy and ultrasound are combined, is diagnosed and treated.
