Comprehensive Endoscopy Services at Inova Hospital
1. UGI Endoscopy (Gastroscopy)
Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI) Endoscopy is a procedure used to examine the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
- When do you need it? If you suffer from chronic gastritis, difficulty swallowing, persistent nausea, or suspected stomach ulcers.
- The Inova Advantage: We use high-definition (HD) endoscopes that allow our specialists to detect even the smallest abnormalities or early signs of cancer.
2. Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is essential for screening and diagnosing issues within the large intestine (colon) and rectum.
- When do you need it? It is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening, investigating unexplained weight loss, chronic diarrhea, or rectal bleeding.
- Painless Procedure: At Inova Hospital, we offer colonoscopies under mild sedation to ensure maximum patient comfort and a stress-free experience.
3. ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
ERCP is a specialized technique that combines endoscopy and X-rays to treat problems of the bile and pancreatic ducts.
- When do you need it? It is primarily used to remove gallstones from the bile duct, treat duct blockages (jaundice), or manage pancreatic complications.
- Expert Care: Our facility is equipped with advanced fluoroscopy and endoscopic tools, making us a preferred center for complex ERCP procedures in Kathmandu.
