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.
