Endoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract
Endoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract
Painless endoscopy (gastrointestinal endoscopy) – removal of polyps (incl. narrow-band-imaging and chromoendoscopy) – interventions for the treatment of narrowings in the gastrointestinal tract (balloon dilatation, stent).
Impedance measurement (outpatient 24-hour measurement to clarify reflux disease)

ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography): endoscopic method by which therapeutic procedures on the bile ducts and the pancreatic duct can be performed. During the examination, the joint orifice of the bile duct and the pancreatic duct (so-called “Papilla duodeni major”) is explored with a side-view endoscope. By administering X-ray contrast medium via the probe, the duct systems are made visible to make it possible to identify abnormal changes. After the Vater’s ampulla has been extended via incision (so-called papillotomy) a balloon for stretching the narrowings or a wire basket for crushing or retrieving stones can be inserted. Plastic or metal stents can be inserted to ensure safe drainage.
