Department overview
Gastroenterology combines a GI endoscopy team with a TCM gastrointestinal-care team, covering routine digestive-health consultation, specialised screening, inpatient diagnosis and treatment, and longer-term health management.
Main clinical scope
These areas provide a concise overview. Individual suitability requires clinical assessment.
- Early GI cancer screening
- Mucosal and submucosal lesions
- Biliary and pancreatic intervention
- Liver disease and pancreatitis
- GI bleeding and reflux disease
- Long-term digestive-health management
Clinical programmes
Principal disease areas, subspecialties and continuous-care services described in the department profile.
Precision endoscopy and early-cancer screening
High-definition magnification and chromoendoscopy assess the oesophagus, stomach, colon and rectum for early lesions.
Minimally invasive endoscopic treatment
Services include polypectomy, ESD, haemostasis, stricture dilation and stent placement.
Biliary and pancreatic intervention
ERCP, papillotomy, stone extraction and stenting address bile-duct stones, obstructive jaundice and pancreatic-duct stenosis.
Mucosal and submucosal lesions
Endoscopic assessment and minimally invasive treatment cover early GI cancer, GIST and other submucosal or precancerous lesions.
Endoscopic ultrasound
EUS assesses GI-wall layers, lesion origin and invasion depth to support staging and treatment planning.
TCM gastrointestinal management
Herbal medicine, moxibustion, acupoint application, meridian treatment, diet and lifestyle guidance support longer-term digestive care.
Featured services and technology
Precision endoscopy
High-definition magnification and chromoendoscopy support screening, while polypectomy, ESD, haemostasis, dilation and stenting provide minimally invasive treatment.
Biliary and pancreatic care
ERCP-based procedures address bile-duct stones, obstructive jaundice, pancreatic-duct stenosis and selected pancreatitis-related problems.
Endoscopic ultrasound
EUS assesses wall layers, lesion origin and depth of invasion to support staging and treatment planning.
TCM gastrointestinal management
Herbal medicine, moxibustion, acupoint application, diet and lifestyle guidance can support digestive function and long-term care.
How the department is organised
Risk assessment, endoscopic diagnosis, inpatient treatment and post-discharge follow-up are connected.
Services cover early cancer, submucosal lesions, biliary-pancreatic intervention and EUS.
Endoscopy and TCM teams contribute to individualised digestive-health planning.
