Endoscopy

Precision Diagnostic and Therapeutic Gastroenterology
Endoscopy at San Juan Clinic uses specialized flexible scopes equipped with a camera to visualize the interior of the digestive tract. This minimally invasive approach is essential for diagnosing conditions such as ulcers, inflammation, bleeding, and crucially, for the early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer.
Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures high-definition imaging, allowing our gastroenterologists to perform procedures with exceptional accuracy, often enabling therapeutic interventions (like polyp removal) without the need for traditional surgery.

Key Endoscopic Procedures
Upper Endoscopy (EGD)
A procedure to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). Used to diagnose causes of heartburn, difficulty swallowing, ulcers, and to take biopsies.
Focus: Upper GI Tract Diagnosis and Ulcer Management.
Colonoscopy
Examination of the entire large intestine (colon) and rectum. It is the most effective tool for colorectal cancer screening, enabling the removal of precancerous polyps during the procedure.
Focus: Colorectal Cancer Screening and Prevention
Therapeutic Endoscopy
Beyond diagnosis, we perform advanced therapeutic interventions during endoscopy, including polypectomy (polyp removal), cauterization of bleeding lesions, dilation of strictures, and foreign body retrieval.
Focus: Minimally Invasive Treatment, Polypectomy.
