Digestive endoscopy

Digestive endoscopy encompasses advanced diagnostic procedures designed to examine the digestive tract, providing a direct and detailed visualization of pathological conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, colon, sigmoid, and rectum.

This technique allows for the identification of abnormalities or lesions within the digestive system and, when necessary, enables endoscopic interventions. These may include the removal of polyps, hemostasis for active bleeding, palliative treatment of advanced tumors, excision of early-stage neoplastic formations, tissue sampling through biopsies for histological analysis, placement of prostheses, or the removal of obstructive biliary stones.

These examinations are performed using specialized endoscopes, each tailored to a specific section of the digestive tract. These are flexible, ultra-thin instruments equipped with high-definition digital imaging technology. A sensor located at the tip of the endoscope captures real-time visuals, which are processed and transmitted to a monitor, ensuring an exceptionally detailed and accurate view. Additionally, advanced light-contrast imaging techniques can enhance mucosal visualization, improving the detection of pathological conditions.

Artificial intelligence is now emerging as a complementary tool in this field, offering promising advancements, though its full potential is still under development.

Following each examination, the instruments undergo a meticulous cleaning process using specialized solutions before being placed in dedicated washing units. These devices ensure high-level disinfection while also performing an automated functionality check, guaranteeing both sterility and optimal operational performance.

At Ars Medica, we offer a comprehensive range of endoscopic examinations for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive system disorders, including:

• Colonoscopy
• Gastroscopy

Our clinic is designed to provide patients with the highest levels of comfort, privacy, and safety—both before and after the procedure.

All examinations are performed under sedation with the assistance of an anesthesiologist, ensuring continuous monitoring of vital signs. The use of medications that induce a deep sleep while maintaining spontaneous breathing allows patients to undergo the procedure without discomfort or trauma. Each patient is provided with a dedicated recovery area, ensuring a smooth and gradual awakening from sedation with continuous medical and nursing care.

Ars Medica is committed to excellence in digestive endoscopy, employing highly specialized professionals who utilize the most advanced techniques and the best available diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
