Gastroenterology and Hepatology

Therapeutic and Diagnostic Gastroenterology

Therapeutic & Diagnostic Gastroenterology provides a wide range of contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures, such as diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP for pancreatic disorders (papillotomy, stone extraction, stricture dilation and stenting, lithotripsy, peroral choledochoscopy and pancreatoscopy), endoscopic ultrasonography, fine needle aspiration cytology and biopsy, and target therapy. Cyrotherapy, endoscopic mucosal excision for Barrett's oesophagus, and radiofrequency ablation are more contemporary methods. Certain of these diagnostic gadgets need to be sanitised before use since they are used to transfer infection.
