At Almana Hospital, our Endoscopy department utilizes state-of-the-art technology and a highly skilled team to provide a range of endoscopic procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of various digestive and other internal conditions.

What is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows physicians to examine the interior of the body using a thin, flexible instrument called an endoscope. The endoscope is equipped with a camera, which transmits real-time images of the internal organs onto a monitor. This allows for accurate diagnosis and, in many cases, treatment of various conditions.

Benefits of Endoscopy:

Minimally invasive: Compared to traditional surgery, endoscopy offers smaller incisions, quicker recovery times, and less discomfort.
Accurate diagnosis: Endoscopy allows for direct visualization of internal organs, leading to more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Treatment options: In many cases, endoscopic procedures can be used to treat conditions without the need for open surgery.

Conditions We Diagnose and Treat with Endoscopy:

Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Endoscopy:

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD): Examines the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (upper part of the small intestine) for conditions like ulcers, gastritis, and hiatal hernia.
Colonoscopy:** Examines the colon (large intestine) for polyps, cancer, and other abnormalities.
Sigmoidoscopy:** Examines the lower part of the colon (sigmoid colon) for similar conditions.

Bronchoscopy: Examines the airways (trachea and bronchi) for conditions like asthma, infections, and lung cancer.
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): Examines the bile ducts and pancreatic duct for gallstones, tumors, and other abnormalities.
