胃カメラ(上部消化管内視鏡検査)
Compared to conventional oral endoscopy
We use nasal endoscopy, which places a much smaller burden on patients.
About gastroscopy
Direct observation of the mucosa of the stomach, esophagus, and duodenum.
This is an essential test for early detection, diagnosis, and biopsy.
If you have symptoms such as stomach pain, indigestion, heartburn, or black stools, you should undergo a gastroscopy.
There are oral and nasal endoscopies, but our hospital uses the nasal endoscopy in consideration of the burden on patients.
[Benefits of nasal gastroscopy]
-Vomiting reflex is unlikely to occur
Hard to feel pain
・Testing can be done while talking
【経鼻胃カメラのデメリット】
・鼻出血のリスクがある
・鼻腔の形状などにより挿入できない場合がある
・処置については困難な場合がある。
This is usually done before the start of morning consultations (9:00am). *Consultation is required for same-day testing.
Colonoscopy (lower gastrointestinal endoscopy)
To make things a little easier, use something with a smaller diameter
Even safer carbon dioxide gas supply
About Colonoscopy
This is an examination in which an endoscope is inserted through the anus to directly observe parts of the large intestine (rectum to ascending colon) and small intestine (terminal ileum and cecum). It is useful for diagnosing colon cancer, polyps, and enteritis such as ulcerative colitis, and it is also possible to perform biopsies of abnormal findings and, in some cases, resection (same-day surgery). This is a very useful examination , as removing colon polyps can also help prevent colon cancer . Please contact our clinic if you are concerned about colon diseases, have bloody stools, positive occult blood in stools, diarrhea, constipation, or a family history of colon cancer or polyps.
[Uses an endoscope with a smaller diameter than usual]
There must be many patients who feel pain during colonoscopy.
In order to reduce the burden on patients as much as possible, our hospital uses a small-diameter endoscope.
[Uses carbon dioxide gas supply]
When observing the large intestine, air is blown in to make it easier to see. Conventionally, air was blown in, but our hospital uses carbon dioxide gas, which reduces abdominal bloating after the examination.
通常は午後の診療前に行います。※最短で受診翌日の検査が可能です
Ultrasound examination (abdomen and neck)
A test that places very little burden on patients
That's why you can feel at ease knowing that a specialist will be watching you closely.
About Ultrasound Examination
Ultrasound examination is an examination that uses high-frequency sound waves that cannot be heard by the human ear. It places very little burden on the patient and can be performed in a short time.
It is possible to evaluate the size and condition of organs, masses, etc.
We perform abdominal and cervical ultrasound examinations.
Abdominal ultrasound examination evaluates: liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, aorta, etc.
What is evaluated by carotid ultrasound examination: Evaluation of the progression of arteriosclerosis, carotid artery stenosis, and plaque
[Features of ultrasound examinations at our hospital]
The disadvantage of ultrasound examinations is that it depends largely on the equipment and the individual's procedural skills, but at our hospital, we introduced state-of-the-art equipment at the same time as opening our new clinic, and by having specialists perform analysis, we are able to provide patients with appropriate information.
