Gastroenterology clinic /General surgery
At Costamed, we have the best general surgeons with a subspecialty in gastroenterology and endoscopy of the digestive system. Our doctors evaluate patients clinically and comprehensively with timely diagnosis and treatment and, if necessary, schedule open and laparoscopic surgeries. Laparoscopic procedures are minimally invasive, with a short inpatient stay.
Gastroenterology specializes in the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the esophagus, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, stomach, colon, small intestine, rectum, and liver. If you have a digestive problem, consult our specialists.
The most common gastroenterology disorders are hepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn), ulcers, pancreatitis, colitis, gallbladder and biliary tract diseases, nutritional problems, irritable bowel syndrome, polyps in the colon and cancer.
Endoscopies to treat many of these diseases last only 30 minutes, with flexible and illuminated tubes with integrated video cameras to help observe the intestinal tract and provide a timely diagnosis. If necessary pathological biopsies can be obtained, which are analyzed to detect and prevent more serious diseases such as cancer.
Endoscopic procedures allow us to perform minimally invasive surgeries. Some of these procedures include stent placement, endoscopic ultrasounds, cauterization, and polypectomies.
With the endoscope, more complicated procedures are also performed.

UMBILICAL HERNIOPLASTY

OPEN INGUINAL HERNIOPLASTY
Open inguinal hernioplasty is a surgical procedure used to repair an inguinal hernia, which is a condition where a portion of tissue, often intestine, bulges through a weak spot in the abdominal wall in the groin area. This procedure involves making an incision in the groin region to access and repair the hernia.
