Endoscopy: Diagnosing and Treating Digestive Disorders with Precision

An endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that helps doctors visualize the digestive tract using a flexible tube with a camera. Since 1984, Shobha Hospital has been a trailblazer in endoscopic services in Ambernath, Thane, India. Under the guidance of Dr. Sunil Kavathe, who established the region’s first GI Endoscopy clinic, we’ve set the gold standard in accurate, safe, and efficient endoscopic procedures.

Understanding Endoscopy

• Types: Upper GI endoscopy (esophagus, stomach, and duodenum) and lower GI endoscopy (colon and rectum).

• Uses: Detecting ulcers, polyps, tumors, and sources of bleeding. Also used for therapeutic interventions like removing polyps.

• Benefits: Less invasive than traditional surgical methods, quick recovery, and accurate diagnosis.

What to Expect During an Endoscopy

• Preparation: Fasting for a few hours before the procedure.

• Sedation: Light sedation is often administered to ensure comfort.

• Quick Procedure: Usually completed within 15–30 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
