The Endoscopy Unit of the Regional Cardiology Center in Kharkiv performs scheduled and emergency diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies of the gastrointestinal tract:
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
Colonoscopy
A type of endoscopic examination performed using an endoscope — a special instrument inserted perorally. It allows visual inspection of the mucosa of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, and the detection of inflammation foci, ulcers, malignancies, and other lesions of the digestive tract.
In combination with functional diagnostic methods (Ultrasound, CT, MRI), esophagogastroduodenoscopy makes it possible to obtain a complete picture of the state of the gastrointestinal tract and prescribe the most effective course of treatment.
A type of endoscopic examination that allows visual assessment of the internal surface of the colon using an endoscope.
Colonoscopy makes it possible to diagnose:
Inflammatory diseases (non-specific ulcerative colitis, granulomatous enteritis, and others)
Submucosal and epithelial neoplasms (polyps, tumors)
Diverticulosis
The additional use of chromoendoscopy makes it possible to detect and differentiate minimal pathological changes of the mucosal epithelium through comprehensive visual examination using an endoscope. The method involves preliminary staining with various safe dyes of the suspected pathological surface changes of the mucosa of the organs under investigation.
When necessary, the endoscopist performs cytomorphological verification — an analysis of the cellular and morphological features of cell structures and their changes in order to develop the most effective treatment.
One of the most important concomitant studies is the diagnosis of Helicobacter infection, caused by the pathogenic bacterium Helicobacter pylori. It is the cause of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract: gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers.
Timely detection of Helicobacter infection and treatment at its early manifestations prevents these serious diseases from developing.
All procedures are performed by an endoscopist of the highest qualification category.
