Endoscopy

Hamilton's Endoscopy Services are reserved for patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic procedures related to known or suspected gastrointestinal complications.

Our specialized care team of physicians, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and associates perform endoscopic examinations which allow direct visualization of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract.

Here are some of the services we perform:

• Upper Endoscopy - procedure enabling direct visualization of the upper GI tract for diagnosing and treating abnormalities through the use of biopsy, brush cytology, coagulation, dilation, polypectomy, injection therapy and banding of varices.
• Lower Endoscopy - sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy procedures that enable direct visualization of the lower GI tract for diagnosing and treating through the use of biopsy, coagulation, polypectomy, dilatation and electrocautery.
• ERCP - fluroscopy procedure enabling visualization of the pancreatic and common bile duct for diagnosis of abnormalities of the biliary and ductal systems.

Endoscopy services also perform esophageal motility and 24-hour pH studies of the esophagus. These studies are performed by a specially-trained nurse using the latest technology. Physicians interpret the studies and make diagnosis based on the results.
