Gastrointestinal Services

The Mogadishu Somalia Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Training and Research Hospital provides comprehensive gastrointestinal services, offering both endoscopy and colonoscopy/rectosigmoidoscopy procedures. These services are critical for diagnosing, monitoring, and intervening in a range of gastrointestinal conditions.

ENDOSCOPY SERVİCES 

Endoscopy is a procedure that involves the use of a flexible tube with a light and camera to view the interior of hollow organs or cavities in the body. The hospital offers advanced endoscopy services, including:

• Diagnostic Evaluation: Primarily for the upper gastrointestinal (GI) system, including conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
• Interventions: A range of therapeutic interventions such as:
• Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) Tube Insertion: For patients requiring long-term feeding.
• Foreign Body Removal: To safely extract foreign objects ingested or lodged in the GI tract.
• Endoscopic Band Ligation: Often used in the treatment of varices (swollen veins) in the esophagus.
• Esophageal Stenting: Insertion of a stent to keep the esophagus open in cases of obstruction.
• Endoscopic Clipping: Used to treat bleeding lesions or perforations in the GI tract.
• Colonoscopy and Rectosigmoidoscopy Services.

COLONOSCOPY AND RECTOSİGMOİDOSCOPY

• Colonoscopy and Rectosigmoidoscopy are procedures that allow for the examination of the inner lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. These procedures are essential for:
• Screening and diagnosing colorectal cancer, particularly in individuals at higher risk.
• Detecting polyps and other abnormalities.
• Evaluating conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g., Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis).
