GI Endoscopy and ERCP Department
Overview
The GI Endoscopy and ERCP Department specializes in advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for digestive system disorders using minimally invasive endoscopic techniques. This department combines Gastrointestinal (GI) Endoscopy – which examines the digestive tract – with ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) – a specialized procedure that examines and treats bile ducts, pancreatic duct, and gallbladder disorders. Our expert gastroenterologists use state-of-the-art video endoscopy and high-definition imaging for early detection and treatment of GI cancers and other digestive conditions.
