Gastroenterology
At HM Hospitales, our gastroenterology team provides comprehensive, personalized care for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of digestive system disorders.
What is gastroenterology?
Gastroenterology is the medical specialty dedicated to the comprehensive care of your digestive system, from the esophagus to the colon, including vital organs such as the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. At HM Hospitales, we treat a wide range of digestive conditions, from acid reflux and gastritis to inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, and digestive cancers, providing a comprehensive approach to your digestive health.
Comprehensive approach
Our gastroenterologists provide personalized care, taking into account your medical history, lifestyle, and symptoms to identify the cause of your digestive discomfort. We collaborate closely with other specialties, such as digestive surgery, oncology, radiology, and nutrition, to design a comprehensive and multidisciplinary treatment plan tailored to your needs. With over 25 years of experience in digestive endoscopy, our team of professionals stays continuously trained to provide you with the latest technological and clinical innovations.
Diagnostic techniques
For an accurate diagnosis, we use advanced diagnostic techniques. We perform digestive endoscopies (gastroscopy and colonoscopy) to visualize the inside of the digestive tract, and we use endoscopic ultrasound and rectal ultrasound to obtain more detailed images. Additionally, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) allows us to examine the bile and pancreatic ducts, while capsule endoscopy and enteroscopy enable us to explore the small intestine. We also perform functional tests, such as pH monitoring and digestive motility studies, to assess the function of the esophagus and other digestive organs. Finally, for minimally invasive procedures during endoscopies, we use state-of-the-art electrosurgical devices and employ FibroScan to assess liver elasticity.
Treatments
We offer treatments tailored to each patient, from pharmacotherapy and lifestyle changes to minimally invasive procedures and digestive surgery. At HM Hospitales, we focus on the prevention and early diagnosis of digestive diseases, providing you with the tools and knowledge needed to take care of your digestive health and enhance your quality of life.
