Endoscopic Examination
An Endoscopic examination includes the traditional Gastro-Duodenoscopy,
Proctoscope, Colonoscopy; and the newest Narrow-Band Imaging (NBI),
Fluorescence Endoscopy and Magnifying Endoscopy. NBI uses two
discrete band of light to enhance the Capillary Network and Mucosal pit
pattern of the esophagus, stomach and large intestine, which enables the
early detection of cancer. Painless Endoscopic exams (including
Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy) are also available, and are aimed to
minimize patient’s discomforts during the examination.
Therapeutic Endoscopy
The accurate diagnosis of Polyp-Cancer and Endoscopic Resection
of polyp with Therapeutic Endoscopy, prevented the need for surgery,
and benefited many patients with digestive disease. For patients with
liver cirrhosis combined with esophageal bleeding, Therapeutic Endoscopy
can even perform Esophageal Variceal Ligation and Vascular Hemostasis
with good effects.
Liver Treatment
The Gastroenterology Department has use the newest minimally
technique-the Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for the treatment of Liver
Cancer.The technology is used in elder patients who are inoperable or
unwilling to have surgery.
In-order to develop into a sub-specialty with an equal focus on both
service and academic research, the Gastroenterology Department gradually
developed numerous advanced diagnostic and treatment skills.
They dedicate themselves in the research of clinical drug use with
treatment of liver disease. Additionally, in order to achieve the goal to
enhance community service, the Gastroenterology Department constantly
provides health education and health screenings in the community.
