Advanced Endoscopy

Comprehensive care for digestive disorders by Dr. Akeel Alisa

What is Advanced Endoscopy?

Advanced endoscopy refers to a range of specialised procedures that go beyond standard diagnostic endoscopy. These techniques are used for complex diagnosis, treatment of precancerous or cancerous lesions, and management of gastrointestinal complications.

Examples of advanced endoscopy include:

  • Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) – removal of larger polyps or early cancers.
  • Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) – advanced removal of early tumours.
  • Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) – combines endoscopy and ultrasound for detailed imaging.
  • Therapeutic endoscopy – controlling bleeding, dilating strictures, placing stents.

Why Advanced Endoscopy Matters

  • Provides minimally invasive alternatives to surgery.
  • Detects and removes precancerous growths before they develop further.
  • Allows complex treatments to be performed during routine endoscopy sessions.
  • Improves outcomes and shortens recovery times compared to surgery.

Who Needs Advanced Endoscopy?

Patients may benefit if they have:

  • Large or complex polyps
  • Early-stage gastrointestinal cancers
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Narrowed areas (strictures) of the digestive tract
  • Pancreatic or bile duct disease (ERCP procedures)

Benefits of Advanced Endoscopy

  • Minimally invasive with reduced hospital stay
  • Combines diagnosis and treatment in one procedure
  • Expert removal of high-risk lesions without surgery
  • Improved patient outcomes and faster recovery
