About our Gastrointestinal Laboratory

在胃肠道实验室(GI Lab)，高度专业化的技术正在帮助医生更好地诊断和管理胃肠道疾病，微创手术. 像这样的科学突破在开普胃肠病学专家和赌博正规软件下载的住院和门诊胃肠道护理中发挥着关键作用, right here in southeast Missouri.

胃肠道实验室为所有类型的胃肠道疾病提供全面的住院和门诊护理, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, acid reflux disease (GERD), Barrett’s esophagus, nausea & vomiting, constipation & diarrhea, abdominal and stomach pain, rectal bleeding, anemia, irritable bowel, liver problems, jaundice, and much more.

我们提供领先的技术和诊断，如内窥镜超声和治疗性内窥镜检查. These highly specialized tools allow better imaging of the digestive tract; better detection, location, and staging of tumors; and less-invasive treatment for GI conditions.

Colon Cancer

结直肠筛查是早期发现癌症的关键方法，因为早期癌症是最容易治疗的. 不幸的是，只有大约50%需要这些测试的人得到了这些测试. 50岁及以上的人都应该定期进行结肠检查, 有某些风险因素的人应该早点开始. So get your screening on schedule. Your life could depend on it.

Reflux Disease / GERD

当食物通过后，胃入口的瓣膜没有完全关闭, acid from your stomach can move up into your esophagus. 这被称为胃酸反流，会引起烧灼感，通常被称为胃灼热.

Many people experience heartburn every once in a while, but when it happens more than twice a week, you suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a serious condition that requires further testing.

If you have GERD, 你可能无法通过改变生活方式或药物来缓解你的胃灼热, 所以你一定要去看医生. 胃肠病学家可以进行内窥镜检查等检查, 活检和无线pH值监测来确定你的胃或食道是否有问题.

Bravo® pH Monitoring System

Bravo系统的胶囊大小的数据记录仪可以通过使用直观的输送系统的快速程序轻松地连接到食道上. 然后，胶囊会记录食道状况，并将数据发送到一个小型接收器, about the size of a pager, worn on the patient’s belt.

与传统的pH值测试相比，Bravo pH测试有几个优点，包括:

48-hour data collection – twice as long as other tests
More accurately reflects physiologic conditions
Capsule stays in place throughout the procedure

Bravo pH监测系统对患者来说很简单，因为它:

Allows normal activity and diet
Is less invasive
Enhances comfort and convenience
Passes naturally after test completion

Capsule Endoscopy

胶囊内窥镜使用无线相机拍摄消化道的照片. 相机装在一个维他命大小的胶囊里，可以吞下. As the capsule travels through the digestive tract, 摄像头可以捕捉到数千张图像，这些图像会被传输到病人佩戴在腰带上的记录仪上. 胶囊内窥镜可以让医生看到病人小肠的内部, 哪个部位不容易被传统的内窥镜检查检查到.

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy utilizes a lighted, 柔性纤维或视频内窥镜，用于肉眼检查大肠(结肠). It is used to diagnose and detect colon cancer, polyps, colitis, diverticulosis / diverticulitis, bleeding lesions, abdominal discomfort or chronic diarrhea/constipation.

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)

EUS使超声成像更接近内部器官和结构, 允许更清晰的图像，由于减少干扰. The technique is useful for:

分期胃肠道，肺癌，食管癌，胃癌，直肠癌和胰腺癌
胰、肝肿瘤、囊肿及腹腔淋巴结的影像学检查
Draining cysts and abscesses
Diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis
诊断原因不明的慢性腹痛要仔细观察腹部器官
细针穿刺或活检各种腹部器官和淋巴结
腹腔丛神经松解术治疗顽固性胰腺癌疼痛和腹腔丛神经阻滞治疗顽固性慢性胰腺炎疼痛

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

ERCP使用内镜x线成像检查十二指肠、胃、胆道和胰腺. ERCP is useful for:

胆道和胰腺疾病，如胆道梗阻和胰腺炎
Treating gallstones and associated abdominal pain
Bile duct sealing after gallbladder repair
黄疸患者的胆汁引流和胰脏或胆道癌患者支架的放置

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

Flexible sigmoidoscopy uses a lighted, 可弯曲的光纤或视频内窥镜，用于视觉检查直肠和乙状结肠的内部. 它被用来诊断和检测与直肠出血有关的问题, persistent diarrhea, rectal pain and colon polyps.

Upper Endoscopy

上内窥镜检查允许医生检查食道(吞咽管)的内壁。, 胃和十二指肠(小肠的第一部分)通过一盏灯, flexible fiber-optic tube through the mouth. 通常用于评估上腹部疼痛的症状, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing.
