The Endoscopy Center is equipped with a state-of-the-art international endoscopic arm system, enabling advanced clinical diagnosis and treatment. Beyond conventional endoscopic examinations, we have expanded into the realm of endoscopic surgical interventions. For certain conditions traditionally managed through surgery, we now offer minimally invasive endoscopic treatments that allow for precise lesion removal. These procedures achieve outcomes comparable to surgical excision, yet with no external incisions, faster recovery, and significantly reduced procedural risks. Our services include advanced endoscopic procedures such as endoscopic dilation, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), endoscopic stent placement, endoscopic photodynamic therapy, polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
Esophageal and gastric varices are among the most serious complications of liver cirrhosis, with bleeding episodes carrying a mortality rate of 15-20%. Our hospital is a national leader in the prevention and endoscopic management of variceal bleeding, offering procedures such as endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) and sclerotherapy. Furthermore, we have contributed extensively to international research, publishing influential studies and playing a key role in shaping global treatment guidelines for variceal bleeding.
Additionally, our institution is a leading center for the early diagnosis and endoscopic treatment of gastrointestinal cancers. We employ the latest diagnostic technologies, including next-generation endoscopy systems and magnifying endoscopy, in parallel with advancements in Japan. Our treatment facilities are equipped with cutting-edge endoscopic surgical instruments, including the latest electrosurgical knives and coagulation devices. These technologies are primarily utilized in the treatment of early-stage esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers, enabling complete lesion removal via endoscopy. With no external incisions and a rapid recovery process, long-term follow-up studies have demonstrated outcomes comparable to those of conventional surgery.
