An upper endoscopy is a simple procedure that lets Dr. Zadeh look inside your upper digestive tract, including your esophagus, stomach, and the first part of your small intestine called the duodenum. A thin flexible scope with a light and camera helps identify irritation, ulcers, or other issues so they can be treated early.
ERCP
An ERCP, or Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, allows Dr. Zadeh to examine the bile and pancreatic ducts. Using a flexible lighted tube that goes through the mouth and into the upper intestine, this procedure helps diagnose and sometimes treat problems such as gallstones, blockages, or narrowing of the ducts.
Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule endoscopy uses a tiny wireless camera inside a small capsule that you swallow, about the size of a vitamin. As it travels through your digestive tract, it takes thousands of pictures that help Dr. Zadeh see areas of your small intestine that other tests cannot reach.
Gastrostomy Tube Placement
This procedure places a small feeding tube directly into the stomach through the skin and stomach wall. It is done with the help of an endoscope and is often used when patients need long-term nutritional support.
Fecal Transplant
A fecal transplant introduces healthy bacteria into the colon using stool from a carefully screened donor. It helps restore normal gut balance for patients whose healthy bacteria have been reduced by antibiotics or infection, especially those with recurrent C. difficile.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy lets Dr. Zadeh examine the inner lining of your large intestine using a thin flexible scope. It is one of the best tools for detecting and removing polyps, identifying bleeding or inflammation, and preventing colon cancer through early detection.
