Sigmoidoscopy

At Complete Gastro Care Hospital, we specialize in providing advanced sigmoidoscopy services aimed at diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the lower part of the gastrointestinal tract. Sigmoidoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows our expert gastroenterologists to examine the lining of the rectum and sigmoid colon using a flexible tube with a camera and specialized tools.

Diagnostic Capabilities:

Sigmoidoscopy plays a crucial role in the evaluation and diagnosis of various lower gastrointestinal conditions, including

  • Colorectal Cancer Screening: Sigmoidoscopy is used for early detection of polyps and cancers in the rectum and sigmoid colon.

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): It helps in assessing the extent and severity of inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease.

  • Rectal Bleeding and Pain: Sigmoidoscopy can identify sources of bleeding, such as hemorrhoids or fissures, and provide therapeutic interventions.

Therapeutic Interventions

In addition to diagnosis, sigmoidoscopy allows for certain therapeutic procedures, such as:

  • Polypectomy: Removal of small polyps or growths detected in the rectum or sigmoid colon during the procedure.

  • Hemorrhoid Banding: Treatment of hemorrhoids by placing rubber bands around them to cut off their blood supply, leading to shrinkage and resolution.

Patient-Centered Care

At Complete Gastro Care Hospital, patient comfort, safety, and effective outcomes are our priorities. We ensure a personalized approach to care, offering comprehensive management from initial evaluation through to post-procedure follow-up.
