What is Interventional Endoscopy?

Interventional Endoscopy, also known as Advanced Endoscopy, is a specialized field of gastroenterology that focuses on minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for complex gastrointestinal conditions. These procedures provide an alternative to traditional surgery and are performed using advanced endoscopic techniques. Our specialists evaluate and treat patients with benign and malignant gastrointestinal conditions, often accepting cases that have been deemed too complex for treatment at other centers. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that patients receive coordinated care across specialties, including gastroenterology, oncology, surgery, interventional radiology, and pathology.
