The Gastroenterologists at Manhattan Gastroenterology offer endoscopy screening
in NYC (including bowel cancer screening), diagnosis and treatment for diseases
that affect any part of the digestive system, from the upper oesophagus,
stomach and small intestine right through to the colon, rectum and anus.
The term “Upper
Endoscopy” is a medical
procedure that lets Dr.Khodadadian
visually inspect the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract.
This includes your esophagus, stomach and duodenum, which is the upper portion
of your small intestine.
Dr.Khodadadian, a best in
class NYC gastroenterologist uses a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope for
this procedure. The endoscope has a lens and light source on its tip, and it
sends the video it captures to a video monitor so the GI doctor can view and
interpret the images.
An endoscopy requires
only mild sedation, while the small, flexible video camera is passed through
the mouth into either the stomach or intestine to allow the gastroenterologist
to identify problems in the gastrointestinal tract and, in some circumstances,
remove abnormal growths.
