About the Endoscopy Department
Welcome to the Endoscopy Department at Sunshine Hospital – where advanced medical care meets compassionate service. Our dedicated team of highly skilled professionals is committed to providing state-of-the-art endoscopic procedures in a comfortable and patient-friendly environment.
Diagnostic Endoscopy: We offer a full spectrum of diagnostic endoscopic procedures to evaluate and diagnose GI conditions. This includes upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD) to examine the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, as well as lower gastrointestinal endoscopy (colonoscopy) to assess the colon and rectum.
Therapeutic Endoscopy: Our team is proficient in performing therapeutic endoscopic procedures to treat various GI disorders. This includes endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for removing abnormal tissue growths in the GI tract, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnosing and treating bile duct and pancreatic disorders, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for evaluating GI and adjacent organs.
Screening and Surveillance: We emphasize the importance of screening and surveillance endoscopic procedures for early detection and prevention of GI cancers and other conditions. Our screening programs include colon cancer screening (colonoscopy) and surveillance for patients with a history of GI conditions or risk factors.
