Physicians at Yamaguchi University Hospital specialize in Endoscope for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders (e.g. cancers) of digestive, liver and pancreaticobiliary diseases. Our resources include the latest advances in endoscopic equipment (Chromoendoscpy, Magnifying Endoscopy, Narrow Band Imaging, Endoscopic Ultrasound, Capsule Endoscopy, Double-Balloon Enteroscopy). With these minimally invasive capabilities, physicians perform endoscopic procedures, including mucosal resection and submucosal dissection which can remove large tissue specimen of gastric cancer, as well as colonoscopy, small bowel enteroscopy, laser endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography and varix therapy. Hepatologists offer complete care for all liver diseases with laparoscopic liver biopsy. Our specialized physicians perform diagnosis and treatment with cancers in the biliary tarct and pancreas using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNA) which can enhance the diagnostic capability of EUS by providing additional pathological findings.
