GastroDoxs offers digestive health procedures such as colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, ERCP, EUS, hemorrhoid banding, flexible sigmoidoscopy, Bravo pH study, liver ultrasound, transient elastography, and paracentesis.
Are gastroenterology procedures performed under sedation?
Many procedures, including colonoscopy and upper endoscopy, are commonly performed with sedation to help patients stay comfortable. Sedation needs depend on the procedure and your medical history.
How long does a GI procedure usually take?
Many common GI procedures take about 20 to 45 minutes. Your total visit may take longer because of check-in, preparation, sedation, recovery, and discharge instructions.
How do I know which digestive procedure I need?
Your gastroenterologist will review your symptoms, medical history, lab results, imaging, and prior tests before recommending the right procedure for diagnosis, screening, or treatment.
What symptoms may require a gastroenterology procedure?
Symptoms such as rectal bleeding, trouble swallowing, chronic reflux, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, anemia, abnormal liver tests, jaundice, or bowel habit changes may require further evaluation.
Do I need preparation before a GI procedure?
Some procedures require fasting, bowel prep, medication adjustments, or a clear liquid diet. Your care team will give procedure-specific instructions before your appointment.
What are the risks of gastroenterology procedures?
Most GI procedures are safe, but risks may include bleeding, infection, reaction to sedation, or rarely perforation. Your doctor will explain the risks based on your procedure.
When will I get my procedure results?
Some findings may be reviewed the same day. Biopsy, pathology, or advanced test results may take several days and may require follow-up discussion with your provider.
Will I need someone to drive me home after the procedure?
Yes, if sedation is used, you must have a responsible adult drive you home. You should not drive, work, or make important decisions after sedation.
Can gastroenterology procedures diagnose and treat problems at the same time?
Yes. Some procedures can diagnose conditions and also treat certain problems during the same visit, such as removing polyps, controlling bleeding, opening narrowed areas, or treating bile duct blockages.
