Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases (GI Endoscopy)
- Gastroscopy to examine the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, including assessment of movement and abnormalities and testing for Helicobacter pylori infection in the stomach

Gastrointestinal Wireless Capsule Endoscopy is a newer diagnostic method for gastrointestinal diseases, particularly conditions affecting the deepest parts of the small intestine. The patient swallows a capsule that records images of different parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Physicians then analyze the images and information to support rapid and accurate treatment according to the underlying cause of the disease.
Liver Biopsy involves obtaining liver tissue and cells for analysis in cases where there is a liver mass or suspected liver cancer, as well as liver inflammation.
