Common procedures performed by a Gastroenterologist

Gastroenterologists are trained to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to diagnose and treat digestive conditions.

Some of the most common procedures performed by a gastroenterologist include:

  • Upper endoscopy: This is a procedure in which a gastroenterologist uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end (an endoscope) to examine the inside of the upper digestive tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Upper endoscopy can diagnose conditions such as ulcers, gastritis, and cancer.
  • Colonoscopy: This is a procedure in which a gastroenterologist uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end (a colonoscope) to examine the inside of the colon (large intestine). Colonoscopy can diagnose colon cancer, diverticulosis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Liver biopsy: This is a procedure in which a gastroenterologist removes a small sample of liver tissue for examination under a microscope. A liver biopsy can diagnose conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
  • Capsule endoscopy: This is a procedure in which a patient swallows a small capsule (about the size of a vitamin) that contains a camera and a light. The capsule travels through the digestive tract and takes pictures, which are transmitted to a receiver worn by the patient. A gastroenterologist can then review the pictures to diagnose conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and small intestine cancer.
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): This is a procedure in which a gastroenterologist uses an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end) to examine the bile ducts and pancreatic duct. ERCP can be used to diagnose conditions such as gallstones and pancreatic cancer.

These are just a few examples of the many procedures that a gastroenterologist may perform. Each patient's needs are different, and the specific procedures performed by a gastroenterologist will depend on the individual circumstances of each patient.

What is a Gastroenterologist?

A gastroenterologist (also known as a GI specialist or gastro) is a doctor who specialises in problems of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) and digestive system. Conditions of the throat, oesophagus (food pipe), stomach, intestines, rectum, anus, pancreas, liver and gallbladder can be diagnosed and treated by a gastroenterologist.

What does a gastroenterologist do?

During a consultation with a gastroenterologist, you can expect:

  • A thorough review of your medical history to understand your digestive health. This involves questions, reviewing previous tests and physical examinations.
  • Refer you for testing, such as blood tests, endoscopies and functional screens.
  • Recommendation of treatments and medications.
  • Monitoring your medical state and symptoms.
