Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies:

Diagnostic endoscopies are medical procedures that utilize advanced techniques for diagnosis and sometimes treatment.

Diagnostic endoscopies are characterized by their ability to provide direct and accurate images of the lining of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and large intestine.

They help in identifying diagnoses more accurately and quickly.

These techniques include:

• Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
• Colonoscopy
• Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
  
  

These endoscopies may also be used therapeutically, such as extracting gallstones in cases of obstructive jaundice, banding esophageal varices, treating bleeding ulcers, and taking samples from tumors or inflammations of the digestive tract lining.

Overall, diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies are medical techniques provided by Dr. Hossam Hamed that help in delivering personalized and effective healthcare, contributing to improving the quality of patient care and reducing recovery time.
