*Gastroenterology Department

Gastroenterology is a specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the digestive system. It ensures the healthy functioning of organs such as the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gall bladder and pancreas, and aims at early diagnosis and effective treatment of diseases. Problems with the digestive system can seriously affect quality of life, which is why our specialist doctors are at your side with comprehensive evaluations and individualized treatment methods.

*Procedures Applied in the Department*

* * Endoscopic Examinations
Endoscopies of the upper digestive tract (gastroscopy) and large intestine (colonoscopy) evaluate the digestive tract in detail. Procedures such as disease detection, biopsy and polyp removal are performed.

*ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography)*
It is used in the diagnosis and treatment of obstructions in the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts.

* Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)*
It provides detailed examination of the digestive system organs with ultrasound guidance and biopsy when necessary.

* *Liver Health Assessment*
The Fibroscan method measures the degree of liver stiffness and monitors cirrhosis and other liver diseases.

* *Treatment of Digestive System Stenosis
The balloon and spark plug method is used to expand the narrowed digestive tract. In addition, endoscopic stents are placed in narrow areas to provide permanent patency.

* Interventions in Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Bleeding is controlled with sclerotherapy, hemoclips and argon laser plasma applications.

* Treatment of esophageal varices
The band ligation method safely treats varicose veins in the esophagus.

* *Nutritional Support Practices
The PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) procedure intervenes in patients with long-term nutritional needs.

* Stomach Function Regulating Applications
Weight control and regulation of gastric emptying are achieved with gastric balloon and gastric botox.

* *Functional Tests
Detailed function analysis is performed by measuring stomach acidity and digestive system movements with a pH meter and manometer.

* *Liver Biopsy*
A sample of liver tissue is taken to determine the exact type and stage of the disease.
