Endoscopic Mucosal Resection; EMR

Under the endoscope, a water bag is placed in the air, the lesion area is ensnared with a noose, and a high-frequency current is applied to excise the tissue. After the drug is injected, it is removed with a hook, and in some cases, with forceps.
The procedure is relatively simple, but it is difficult to sufficiently remove the area around the lesion, so the skill of the medical staff is very important. Gangnam Gie Hospital uses highly efficient endoscopic equipment to achieve a high lesion detection rate and shorten the procedure time.

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection; ESD

By attaching an ultrasonic transducer to the tip of the endoscope, endoscopy and ultrasound are combined, and existing endoscopy can observe diseases, tumors, and ulcers on the surface of the gastric/colorectal mucosa, but it was difficult to diagnose deep under the mucosa.
However, ultrasound endoscopy is close to the lesion and helps diagnose cancer infiltration depth, metastasis judgment, and early cancer stage. It is carried out by peeling off the lesion area little by little, enabling extensive collective resection, and cutting and digging to allow the tumor to fall.

Center in GANGNAM GIE HOSPITAL

Diagnosis and treatment at the same time

We provide precise diagnosis of digestive diseases through tests
such as endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, abdominal ultrasound, and CT,
and concurrently treat and manage fatty liver, chronic hepatitis B, and C.

Private space

All endoscopy rooms are independent and separate, so you can feel comfortable while undergoing the examination. In addition, the facility is equipped with the latest endoscopy equipment to ensure patient peace of mind .

Reliable skills

Treatment is provided by an endoscopic team that has performed over 5,000 therapeutic endoscopies and over 1,000 endoscopic cancer resection surgeries (ESD) on average per year. We provide detailed explanations from tumor diagnosis to endoscopic treatment process and results.

Rapid response

Endoscopic treatment may cause complications such as bleeding or perforation because it involves removing the tumor. Gangnam Gie Hospital has an emergency endoscopy team and an emergency surgery team on standby 24 hours a day, enabling a quick response.

Comfortable endoscope

All endoscope systems are equipped with carbon dioxide injection devices, and the carbon dioxide is expelled from the body 150 times faster than the air used in general endoscopes , minimizing discomfort after the examination.
