Gastroenterology

Diagnosis and Monitoring for Digestive Health

About Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology is the medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the digestive tract. This includes evaluation of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Digestive diseases can significantly affect quality of life, making early detection essential to prevent complications.

At Topmed, we use modern technologies in gastroenterological investigations—such as colonoscopy, gastroscopy, and abdominal ultrasound—to provide patients with accurate and timely diagnoses.

Our Gastroenterology Services

Colonoscopy

Screening and Diagnosis for Colon Health


Colonoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure using a flexible endoscope with a video camera to examine the colon and rectum. It allows detection of polyps, ulcers, inflammation, and other bowel diseases, playing a key role in preventing colorectal cancer.

Indications:

  • Colorectal cancer screening in patients over 45
  • Detection and removal of polyps
  • Diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease)
  • Investigation of rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, or changes in bowel habits
  • Evaluation of anemia syndromes, positive occult blood test
  • Screening with family history of colorectal cancer or polyposis

Advantages:

  • Minimally invasive, with biopsy capability
  • Removal of polyps before they become cancerous
  • Essential for preventing and diagnosing colorectal cancer early

Gastroscopy

Examination of the Stomach and Esophagus


Gastroscopy is an endoscopic procedure for assessing the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It helps detect conditions such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and stomach cancers.

Indications:

  • Frequent heartburn or acid reflux (burning sensation, regurgitation, cough, difficulty swallowing)
  • Abdominal pain, vomiting, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite
  • Suspected Helicobacter pylori infection
  • Diagnosis of gastric ulcers, esophagitis
  • Diagnosis and monitoring of celiac disease
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding (hematemesis, black stools)
  • Investigation of anemia syndromes
  • Early detection of stomach cancer with family history

Advantages:

  • Quick procedure with biopsy capability
  • Potential for early detection of gastric cancer
  • Helps monitor reflux disease and Barrett’s esophagus

Abdominal Ultrasound

Non-Invasive Imaging of Abdominal Organs


Abdominal ultrasound is a painless, non-invasive imaging method for evaluating the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and intestines.

Indications:

  • Persistent abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, digestive disorders
  • Liver evaluation (fatty liver, hepatic lesions)
  • Monitoring chronic hepatitis, hemangiomas, hepatic cysts, kidney stones
  • Diagnosis of gallstones and other gallbladder diseases
  • Investigating abnormal lab results
  • Monitoring chronic digestive diseases

Advantages:

  • No radiation exposure
  • Detailed information on internal structures
  • Early detection and monitoring of liver and biliary diseases

CT Colonography

Non-Invasive Alternative to Conventional Colonoscopy


CT colonography is a non-invasive imaging technique that visualizes the colon and rectum using computed tomography. It serves as an alternative to traditional colonoscopy but cannot perform biopsies or polyp removal.

Indications:

  • Contraindications or intolerance to conventional colonoscopy (perforation risk, strictures)
  • Detection of polyps or tumors
  • Evaluation of digestive symptoms (abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, weight loss, blood in stool, positive occult blood test)
  • Monitoring inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease)

Advantages:

  • Non-invasive – no need for endoscope insertion
  • Low risk of complications
  • Short examination and recovery time
  • Ability to evaluate other abdominal organs simultaneously
