Digestive Endoscopy
and Gastroenterology

Diagnosis and endoscopic therapy of the digestive system, in outpatient or inpatient settings.

The Digestive Endoscopy and Gastroenterology Service combines two activities: diagnostic and operative endoscopy, and hospitalization for further investigations and treatments requiring a stay. In most cases, examinations are performed on an outpatient basis.

The activities

Endoscopic examinations

Gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and sigmoidoscopy, both for diagnostic and operative purposes. The examinations are performed by dedicated medical and nursing staff, with defined pathways for preparation, execution, and recovery after the procedure.

Biliary tract endoscopy

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and related procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases.

Nutrition procedures

Placement of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for patients requiring prolonged nutritional support, with subsequent care.

Bariatric endoscopy

Endoscopic treatments for obesity, included in the multidisciplinary pathway of the Obesity Center of the Casa di Cura, which complements the procedure with nutritional, internal medicine, and psychological support.
