Procedures
GIT Health offers a range of diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal procedures performed by experienced gastroenterologists in Sydney.
Gastroscopy
A gastroscopy (also known as an upper endoscopy) is a safe, routine day-stay procedure used to visually examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a highly precise, routine procedure used to examine the entire lining of the large bowel (colon) and rectum.
Treatment of Haemorrhoids
Haemorrhoids (piles) are enlarged blood vessels in the lower rectum or anus. They are a common condition that can cause bleeding, itching, discomfort, pain, or prolapse (tissue that protrudes during bowel motions).
Polypectomy (Removal of Bowel Polyps)
A bowel polyp is a growth on the lining of the colon or rectum. Most polyps do not cause symptoms and are often found during a colonoscopy. While most are benign, they can have potential to develop into bowel cancer over time.
Dilatation of Gastrointestinal Strictures
A stricture is a narrowing of the gastrointestinal tract that can interfere with the normal passage of food or intestinal contents. Strictures can occur in the oesophagus, small bowel, or colon and may result from scarring, inflammation, previous surgery, or motility disorders.
