Advanced Gastroenterology in CDMX

Advanced gastroenterology represents an innovative and effective form of diagnosis and treatment of acute or chronic gastrointestinal disorders.

To achieve this, all the technological resources currently available are used, which makes it possible to provide patients with the greatest possibility of detecting illnesses and the best opportunity for recovery and prevention.

Advanced gastroenterology transcends conventional symptomatic treatment and focuses on offering patients a comprehensive approach to their conditions. Some of the most commonly used studies in this approach include panendoscopy of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, colonoscopy, and rectosigmoidoscopy, as well as transduodenal cholangiopancreatography.

With these diagnostic tools, a wide variety of gastrointestinal disorders can be accurately and timely identified, which in turn makes it possible to offer definitive treatments and achieve patient recovery in the shortest possible time.

digestive tract motility

The Gastrointestinal Motility Unit offers a variety of studies, such as anorectal and esophageal manometry, and anal biofeedback, pHmetry, bilitec, and gastroelectrogram. Digestive manometry is a recording of pressures and motility at the level of the gastrointestinal tract that makes it possible to distinguish different motor disorders, such as primary ones, secondary to generalized diseases or that accompany organic esophageal pathology.

In addition, the tone of the upper and lower esophageal sphincter can also be evaluated, the swallowing phenomenon studied, and the action of different drugs on the esophageal muscles and/or sphincters assessed. Anorectal manometry allows us to study the defecation mechanism in patients with constipation, diagnose Hirschsprung's disease, and evaluate the physiology of anal continence.

On the other hand, the "biofeedback" technique is used in the re-educational treatment of anal incontinence. Esophageal Manometry measures the electrical activity of the esophagus, the pressures of the upper esophageal sphincter, the esophageal body, and the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing a complete evaluation of esophageal motility.

electrogastrography

EGG is a procedure that measures the electrical activity of the stomach, providing a safe and easy way to test for gastric disorders.

Additionally, EGG avoids radiation exposure and can be a cost-effective option for the public health system.

Anorectal and colonic manometry

Measurement of the electrical activity of the anal sphincter, rectal canal, and colon is performed using anorectal and colonic manometry.

24 hour pHmetry and Bilitec

24-hour pHmetry measures the exposure time of the esophagus to gastric acid and also detects bile reflux using Bilitec.

imaging studies

Among the imaging studies available are X-rays, ultrasound, tomography, nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance, PET SCAN, advanced laparoscopy, biopsies, among others.
