endoscopy-in-chennai
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that involves the use of an endoscope, a thin and flexible instrument, to examine and diagnose medical conditions inside the body. Endoscopy services at Progress Gastro Care in Chennai provide a range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with various medical conditions.
Our team of experienced endoscopists uses the latest techniques to perform a wide range of endoscopic procedures, including upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, bronchoscopy, cystoscopy, hysteroscopy, and arthroscopy. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed on an outpatient basis, which means that patients can return home on the same day. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and most patients experience little to no discomfort. At our hospital, we offer comprehensive endoscopy services to help diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions. Our team of experts works closely with other healthcare professionals to provide patients with personalised care and attention throughout their treatment journey.
