- Colonoscopy – The Colonoscopy is a common, safe procedure that examines the lower intestinal tract called the colon or large intestine. A flexible tube called an endoscope, is used to view images on a video monitor which will assist in identifying potentially precancerous growths, also called polyps, so that they can be removed before they turn into cancer. The colonoscopy is an important tool in the prevention of colon cancer which is very treatable when caught early.
- EGD – The upper endoscopy procedure, also called an EGD, allows your doctor to examine the upper portion of the gastrointestinal tract. This includes the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (first portion of the small intestine). Your doctor will use a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope, which has its own lens that will allow the physician to view the images on a video monitor.
- Endoscopic Ultrasound – Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive procedure to assess digestive (gastrointestinal) diseases. It uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of the lining and walls of your digestive as well as nearby organs such as the pancreas, liver and lymph nodes.
