Gastroenterology covers the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the stomach, intestines, liver, bile ducts and pancreas. The department at our partner hospital offers a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, alongside dedicated care for reflux, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer screening. MedLuxLife helps you arrange procedures, understand preparation instructions and receive your reports in a form your home doctor can use.
Treatments and services
Diagnostic endoscopy
Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, colonoscopy and double-balloon endoscopy (enteroscopy), which can examine parts of the small intestine beyond the reach of standard scopes, for example in unexplained bleeding, iron-deficiency anaemia or suspected Crohn’s disease.
Endoscopic treatment of bleeding
Band ligation, sclerotherapy, haemoclips and argon laser treatment for bleeding from the stomach or intestines.
Treatment of narrowing
Balloon dilatation and stent placement for strictures of the stomach or intestines.
Endoscopic obesity treatment
Intragastric balloon placement during upper endoscopy, which may support weight loss alongside lifestyle changes; the balloon is removed after a set period.
Reflux diagnosis and treatment
Upper endoscopy, 24-hour pH monitoring and motility studies, followed by medication, endoscopic options such as the Stretta procedure and endoscopic fundoplication (for example Plicator or Gastrofix), or surgery.
Helicobacter pylori testing
Urea breath test and stool antigen testing to diagnose H. pylori infection and guide treatment.
Colorectal cancer screening
Screening colonoscopy with polypectomy, as polyps can be found and removed during the procedure; people at higher risk receive an individual screening plan.
ERCP
Endoscopic imaging of the bile and pancreatic ducts, which also allows stone removal, stent placement to relieve blockages and biopsy.
Haemorrhoid treatment
Medication for early stages and band ligation, sclerotherapy, laser or infrared treatment during sedated colonoscopy for intermediate stages, with referral for surgery in advanced cases.
Hepatology unit
Diagnosis and long-term follow-up of chronic hepatitis B and C using liver function tests, HBV and HCV PCR, abdominal ultrasound and liver biopsy, with antiviral treatment options including interferon.
Inflammatory bowel disease
Diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease by colonoscopy and/or double-balloon enteroscopy, and ongoing medical treatment.
