Clinics for gastroenterology
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and the organs associated with it (liver, gall bladder, pancreas) come under the category of gastroenterology.
Typical conditions affecting this area of the body include tumours, gastric and intestinal polyps, liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, gallstones, coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. There are also numerous other disabling conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome or dyspepsia. Endoscopic procedures play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of such conditions, with all of the advantages of these minimally invasive techniques.
