Treatment and diagnostics epilepsy in Athens, Greece

The work of the digestive system in our body is based on the complex interaction of various organs – not only the stomach and intestines, but also the gallbladder and liver. The development of methods for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of these organs is specialized in an independent section of medicine – gastroenterology.

Gastroenterologists in Athens successfully practice all the main methods of dealing with gastroenterological pathologies.

• Gastroscopy

A thin flexible tube called a gastroscope is inserted into the patient's esophagus through the mouth. At its end is a miniature camera with illumination, which transmits a high-quality image of organs. These methods are used for different purposes:

1. diagnostic examination of the walls of the stomach and esophagus;
2. biopsy of neoplasms;
3. a surgical operation in which a tumor is excised.

• Colonoscopy

The procedure is largely identical to gastroscopy, in which a similar device – a colonoscope – is inserted into the patient's intestines through the anal opening. Doctors of Афин use this method for diagnostics and biopsies, as well as for stopping bleeding and removing neoplasms.

• Laparoscopy

Minimally invasive surgery that is performed without dissecting the abdominal cavity:

1. a small puncture is made in the abdominal area;

2. a thin metal laparoscope tube is inserted into the puncture.

3. microsurgical instruments are delivered via a laparoscope to the desired organ.

4. an operation is being performed.
