GASTROENTEROLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY
In our gastroenterology department, polyclinic and inpatient treatment services are provided on
the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas and gallbladder diseases.
Apart from routine polyclinic services, various diagnosis and treatment services are also offered.
Some of the diagnostic and treatment services provided in our department are:
Upper Gastrointestinal System Endoscopy
The examination of the esophagus, stomach and twelve finger intestines with an
illuminated system. It is used for diagnosis and treatment. Peptic ulcer is used in the
diagnosis of esophageal cancers and stomach cancers as well as in the treatment of gastric
bleeding, treatment of gastric strictures and removal of foreign bodies. In addition, biopsy
can be taken from the stomach during the examination.
Colonoscopy-Sigmoidoscopy and Rectoscopy
It is the examination of some or all of the large intestine with instruments that
work with an illuminated system. It is used in the diagnosis of large diarrheal cancer and
in the diagnosis of chronic diarrhea. Polyps that can lead to cancer can be removed with
this procedure and bleeding from the large intestine can be intervened.
ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticogaphy)
It is a procedure that allows the visualization of the bile ducts and the pancreas
channel. With this procedure, bile duct stones can be removed without surgery. Stenosis of
the bile duct can be treated by expanding the balloon or placing the tube.
Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS)
Unlike conventional ultrasonography, an ultrasound receiver placed at the end of the
endoscope device is used to see the inside of the esophagus, stomach and intestines, as well as
the tumors that develop in structures such as pancreas, biliary tracts and lymph nodes
adjacent to these organs.
Gastrostomy (PEG)
Gastrostomy is the process of endoscopic tube placement and feeding from the stomach
to provide nutrition for people who cannot swallow foods for various reasons.
Motility Laboratory
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, dysphagia, fecal incontinence and constipation problems
are investigated. 24 hours pH measurement and follow-up in reflux patients, pressure
measurements in the esophagus with the catheter placed in the esophagus, and measurements
of constipation and fecal incontinence problems.
