Clinical Overview
About Endoscopic Surgery at South City Hospital
The Department of Endoscopic Surgery at South City Hospital offers sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for gastrointestinal conditions. By inserting flexible, lighted endoscopes fitted with high-definition video chips into the digestive tract, clinicians can directly examine mucosal surfaces without surgical incisions.
Our endoscopy suite performs both upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGI endoscopy) and lower gastrointestinal evaluations (colonoscopy). These procedures are instrumental for diagnosing persistent acidity, gastric ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, Barrett's esophagus, and colorectal polyps.
Procedures are performed under gentle conscious sedation or local anesthesia, ensuring complete comfort for the patient while enabling immediate therapeutic actions like biopsy sampling, foreign object retrieval, and polyp resection.

- Chronic severe acidity, burning in the chest, or regurgitation not responding to antacids

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Endoscopic Surgery
Is endoscopy painful?
No. A local throat spray numbs the throat, and mild sedation ensures you remain relaxed and comfortable throughout the brief 10 to 15-minute procedure.
How should I prepare for an upper GI endoscopy?
Patients must avoid eating or drinking for at least 6 to 8 hours prior to the procedure so the stomach remains empty and clearly visible.
When are the endoscopy biopsy results available?
Initial visual findings are discussed immediately; tissue biopsy pathology reports are usually ready within 3 to 5 business days.
