Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD)

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a non-invasive procedure that uses a flexible endoscope to remove precancerous and cancerous areas in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This procedure leaves no scars on the outside of the patient's body, has a fast recovery rate, and a short hospital stay. It is generally recommended for lesions larger than 20 mm in diameter without lymph node metastasis.

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)

ESG is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that offers an alternative to traditional bariatric surgery for individuals struggling with obesity. During the ESG procedure, a flexible endoscope is used to reduce the size of the stomach by suturing the stomach lining, creating a sleeve-like structure. This results in a decrease in stomach capacity, which helps patients feel fuller faster and consume fewer calories.

ESG offers several advantages over traditional weight loss surgeries, including a shorter recovery time, reduced risk of complications, and no incisions or scars. Additionally, ESG is reversible and does not alter the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract, allowing for a more natural digestive process.

Endoscopic Stitching

Endoscopic stitching, also known as endoscopic suturing, is a minimally invasive procedure used to close defects, perforations, or incisions in the gastrointestinal tract without the need for traditional surgery. This technique is commonly employed during procedures such as Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) or Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) to manage complications or achieve complete closure of tissue after lesion removal.

During an endoscopic stitching procedure, specialized tools are introduced through a flexible endoscope to place sutures and secure the tissue. This enables precise control and closure of defects, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of complications such as bleeding or infection.

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR)

EMR is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove abnormal or precancerous tissues from the digestive tract, particularly the esophagus, stomach, or colon.
uring an EMR procedure, a flexible endoscope equipped with specialized instruments is inserted through the mouth or rectum to access the targeted area. The abnormal tissue is then carefully lifted and removed using a snare or other cutting device, allowing for precise and complete excision while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
