About
Gastrointestinal medicine, or gastroenterology, focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon.
At Euracare, these procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques. The benefits of minimally invasive surgery over “traditional”, open surgery are many and significant:
- Small incisions, few incisions, or no incision
- Less pain
- Low risk of infection
- Short hospital stays
- Quick recovery time
- Less scarring
- Reduced blood loss
- Endoscopic gastrointestinal procedures include colonoscopy & sigmoidoscopy (focused on the colon) and proctoscopy (focused on the anal cavity, rectum or sigmoid colon).
- Certain gastrointestinal conditions can also be best addressed through upper gastrointestinal surgery.
Euracare provides management and services for many types of gastrointestinal conditions, including but not limited to those listed below.
