An endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed using an endoscope.

Endoscopic surgeries are used for the removal of tumors or pathological tissues and for repairing damaged or diseased tissues or organs. Endoscopic surgeries have many advantages compared to traditional surgery, including reduced pain, scarring, and recovery time.

Polypectomy is a medical procedure that involves the removal of polyps from the colon, rectum, or other parts of the gastrointestinal tract using an endoscope.

Polyps are pathological formations that can develop in the colon and rectum. Although most polyps are benign and do not pose an immediate health threat, some of them can gradually transform into malignant tumors, especially if they are not detected and removed in time.

Polypectomy is often performed during an endoscopy, when the doctor can examine the digestive tract using an endoscope. The procedure involves grasping the polyp with a wire loop and removing it from the lining of the colon. The polyp is then sent to a laboratory for analysis to determine whether it is cancerous or not. Polypectomy is considered a safe and effective way to prevent colon cancer by removing precancerous polyps before they become malignant.

Dilation of strictures is a procedure to widen narrowed areas in the gastrointestinal tract or other organs. The procedure may involve using an endoscope or other devices to insert a balloon or stent to open the narrowed area and improve the flow of fluids or other substances through the affected organ.

In gastroenterology, this procedure can be performed to widen narrowed parts of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, or colon. The specific method used will depend on the location and severity of the stricture.

It is usually performed under anesthesia to minimize patient discomfort.

Hemostasis in gastroenterology refers to the process of stopping bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. There are several methods to achieve hemostasis in gastroenterology, including injection therapy, thermal coagulation, mechanical clipping, and the use of hemostatic agents. These methods can be applied to various conditions causing gastrointestinal bleeding, such as ulcers, tumors, varicose veins, and vascular malformations. The choice of method depends on the location and severity of the bleeding, as well as the patient’s overall health and other medical conditions.

Esophageal variceal ligation is a procedure used to treat bleeding from varicose veins (enlarged and swollen veins) in the esophagus. In this procedure, a small rubber band is placed around the base of the varicose vein to stop the bleeding. The band cuts off blood supply to the varices, causing them to shrink and eventually fall off. This helps prevent further bleeding from the varices. Esophageal variceal ligation is usually performed during an upper endoscopy procedure.

Endoscopic treatment of esophageal achalasia is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at improving the function of the lower esophageal sphincter, which controls the passage of food and liquids from the esophagus to the stomach. This procedure is typically performed using an endoscope.

During the procedure, the endoscopist uses specialized instruments to dilate the lower esophageal sphincter or inject medications to relax the muscles. This can help improve the flow of food and liquids into the stomach, relieve symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, and reduce the risk of complications like aspiration pneumonia.

Endoscopic resection of early tumors is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove abnormal tissue growths (tumors) from the gastrointestinal tract using an endoscope. This procedure is typically employed to remove early-stage tumors before they become cancerous and can be performed in various parts of the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and colon.

Foreign body removal is a medical procedure performed to extract any foreign objects that have been swallowed and become lodged in the gastrointestinal tract, usually in the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine. This can happen accidentally while eating or drinking, or intentionally, such as swallowing small objects. The procedure is typically carried out by an endoscopist using an endoscope and other attached instruments. The endoscope is inserted through the mouth and guided to the location of the foreign body, where it can be safely removed.

Treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease) in a day hospital setting involves the use of various therapies to reduce disease symptoms and prevent complications. This may include medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, biologic agents, and antibiotics. The specific treatment plan depends on the severity of the disease and the individual needs of the patient.

In addition to medications, other treatment methods, such as dietary review, can be provided as needed.

The patient’s condition is regularly monitored, including blood tests and endoscopies.

The day hospital’s facilities allow patients to comfortably and efficiently receive the necessary care and treatment without staying overnight in the hospital. Depending on the treatment plan, therapy may take several hours or even the entire day.
