Endoscopy


Endoscopy
Endoscopy is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of ailments related to the colon, large intestine, esophagus and stomach. At Southwoods, we utilize high definition flexible endoscopes to visualize and screen for potential sources of inflammation, polyps, tumors and ulcerations that may lead to health issues if not detected and treated in the early stages of disease. Just as high definition improves the images displayed on your television, similar technology provides extremely clear, sharp images of the human anatomy to identify suspicious lesions and potential cancers.
When combined with advanced techniques in anesthesia, your endoscopy procedure will be more comfortable, with a shorter recovery time than traditional medications used for sedation. With the right technology and expertise, trust Southwoods for your next endoscopy procedure.
The American Cancer Society recommends everyone receive regular screenings for colorectal cancer and polyps beginning at age 50.
