Comprehensive Care for Digestive System Disorders
The Gastroenterology Department at Athinaiki General Clinic provides comprehensive care for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive system disorders. The department’s team is primarily concerned with prevention, which is currently the overarching focus of modern gastroenterology, placing particular emphasis on effective communication and the building of trust between patient and doctor. Adopting this methodology helps patients to better understand their condition and prevent the symptoms, the objective being to reduce the need for emergency interventions.
Our skilled and caring medical and nursing team, supported by state-of-the-art facilities, offers personalised care and expert treatment for conditions affecting the digestive system (including the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine) liver, bile ducts, and pancreas.
Advanced Endoscopic Procedures
The Gastroenterology Department at Athinaiki General Clinic offers a wide range of endoscopic procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive system disorders:
Advanced Endoscopic Procedures at Athinaiki General Clinic:
- Esophagogastroscopy
- Colonoscopy
- Polypectomies of the upper and lower digestive tract
- Dilation of strictures in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract
- Management of esophageal varices in cases of portal hypertension
- Endoscopic gastrostomy
Treatment of upper and lower digestive tract bleeding
For the comfort and safety of patients, all endoscopic examinations are performed under sedation. Mild sedation helps reduce anxiety and discomfort during the examination, providing a more comfortable experience. The procedure is performed under the supervision of a consultant anaesthesiologist and medical support staff, ensuring safe quality care. Upon completion of the examination, the patients are monitored for a short period of time until they are ready to return to their normal activities, receiving any additional guidance or instructions as necessary.
Secondary Health Care
Athinaiki General Clinic offers hospitalisation for patients who need close monitoring and continued care for digestive health issues. With our state-of-the-art facilities and a skilled, compassionate team of medical and nursing staff, we ensure every patient’s stay is both safe and comfortable. During hospitalisation, patients are supported by a multidisciplinary team with the aim of providing the optimal treatment strategy and a smooth recovery. Patients are also given guidance on how to best manage their health after discharge from the clinic.
Our Gastroenterology Department is dedicated to delivering top-quality care, prioritising prevention, and promoting long-term digestive health and well-being for its patients.
