This week, Health Sector TV will broadcast ‘NHS Advances in Gastroenterology, Endoscopy & Stomach Health Diagnosis’ - an important new documentary highlighting the advances being made in Gastroenterology, Endoscopy and Stomach Health Diagnosis.

Synopsis: The specialty of gastroenterology involves the diagnosis and management of patients with diseases of the intestines, liver and biliary tree, and pancreas. The specialty is broadly divided into two aspects: medical and surgical, with a close working relationship maintained between the two.

Medical gastroenterology largely involves the diagnosis and management of patients using medicine and minimally invasive interventions, such as endoscopy. Surgical gastroenterology is split into three specialties: the upper gastrointestinal tract, the lower GI tract and the liver, bile ducts and pancreas.

Endoscopy ranges from diagnostic to complex therapeutic endoscopy that is best regarded as a form of minimally invasive surgery, such as stopping bleeding from ulcers or removing gallstones. Many procedures in endoscopy have replaced traditional surgery as the safest way to manage the elderly population.

In this programme we hear how the latest Gastroenterology, Endoscopy & Stomach Health Diagnosis technology is benefitting the NHS.
