Gastroenterological conditions
Hepatobiliary, pancreatic and digestive conditions frequently evaluated and treated through interventional endoscopy.
Choledocholithiasis
Gallstones in the common bile duct (choledochus), frequently treated endoscopically through ERCP with sphincterotomy and extraction.
Details →Obstructive Jaundice
Yellowing of the skin caused by obstruction of bile flow. Requires investigation to establish the cause and appropriate treatment.
Details →Pancreatic Cancer — Diagnosis and Endoscopic Role
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma requires precise tissue diagnosis through endoscopic ultrasound with guided biopsy and endoscopic biliary management.
Details →Cholangiocarcinoma — Bile Duct Tumors
Malignant tumors of the bile ducts (intrahepatic, perihilar or distal), diagnosed through imaging and endoscopy, with endoscopic biliary management.
Details →Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis
Inflammation of the pancreas — acute or chronic — with various causes (gallstones, alcohol) and management that may include endoscopic intervention.
Details →Biliary Strictures
Narrowing of the bile ducts from benign or malignant causes, frequently managed endoscopically through dilation and stenting.
Details →Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Bleeding in the digestive tract requires endoscopic evaluation to identify the source and therapeutic hemostasis.
Details →Esophageal Strictures
Narrowing of the esophagus from various causes producing difficulty swallowing, frequently treatable through endoscopic dilation or stenting.
Details →Postoperative Digestive Fistulas
Pathological post-surgical communications at the digestive level that can be managed through minimally invasive endoscopic techniques.
Details →Gastric and Colonic Polyps
Prominent formations on the gastric or colonic mucosa, detectable and treatable endoscopically. Some types may have malignant transformation potential.
Details →Submucosal Digestive Lesions
Formations located beneath the digestive tract mucosa, diagnosed through endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) which enables characterization and guided biopsy.
Details →Esophageal Varices
Venous dilations in the esophagus, associated with portal hypertension. Management includes endoscopic screening and banding.
