Aging and the Digestive Tract
We provide a broad range of services to manage all colorectal conditions.
Endoscopy
We provide endoscopic services for the upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) tracts. Endoscopy enables direct inspection of the gastrointestinal system by the passage of a scope through it.
Colonoscopy
In a colonoscopy, your doctor can see what’s going on inside your whole intestine (large intestine).
Colonoscopes are long, flexible tubes used for the process. On one end of the tube, there is a light and a small camera. It is inserted into the rectum and then passed through the colon.
Major Surgery
Major surgery is any invasive surgical treatment that involves a more substantial resection, such as entering a bodily cavity, removing organs, or altering normal anatomy.
Minor Surgery
Minor surgery is any minimally invasive surgical technique that involves the resection of just skin, mucous membranes, and connective tissue, such as vascular cutdown for catheter insertion or implanting pumps in subcutaneous tissue. These can be done under Local anaesthesia (LA) or Regional anaesthesia (RA) or under Moderate sedation.

Frequently Asked Questions
A flexible tube is used to examine the colon and rectum’s interior lining. Biopsies are also possible using this technology.
If you have symptoms that point to a problem with the colon or rectum, your doctor may propose that you have a colonoscopy. Bleeding, changes in bowel habits and other unexplained stomach problems are also possible signs.
For people with IBD or polyps, a colonoscopy may also be performed to check their condition and for those with a history of colon cancer or polyps.
Colorectal cancer screenings such as colonoscopies are doubly preventive since they do more than only identify the disease at an early stage. Detecting and eliminating any pre-cancerous polyps, the abnormal growths that are the precursors of colorectal cancer may help avoid the illness.
It is also used to identify Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as to establish the reason for symptoms such as rectal bleeding, changes in bowel activity as well as stomach discomfort and unexplained weight loss.
During a colonoscopy, your healthcare practitioner may examine for any issues with your digestive system. Cancer-related symptoms such as redness, swelling, and the bleeding should be suspected in the early stages of a disease.
