Our field of action
Conditions treated and cured in this ward
Endoscopy is diagnostic and therapeutic technique that gives vision from the inside of certain organs, revealing alterations or lesions and eventually perform surgeries like polyp removal, arrest of digestive heamorrhage, advanced cancer palliation, cauterization and biopsy.
Digestive endoscopy aims at early diagnosis of lesions which can lead to digestive system cancer.
Focus on Endoscopy treatment
Details on surgical techniques
More common special techniques used in this service may include:
- ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) useful to understand causes for obstruction of bile and pancreatic juice transit to the intestine (stones, tumors, etc.) and to remove them;
- Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound, uniting direct vision given by digestive endoscopy with ultrasound methods, permits to examine other anatomical structures close to the digestive system. It permits a more accurate examination of pancreas, when compared with traditional techniques.

Doctor-patient relations
Relationships with patients is very important and necessary for diagnosis and therapy. Consequently we are committed to make the ward a familiar place for our patients, permitting them to create a direct and continuative relationship with healthcare personnel.
Particular care is dedicated to explanations about the patient’s condition, the possible alternatives and the involvement of relatives when necessary. During examinations and visits the doctor devotes particular attention to help the patient understand diagnosis and suggested treatments, to choose the most appropriate one.
Particular attention is dedicated to customization of services and cures.
Medics of this unit work together with other specialists to treat conditions in a multidisciplinary team and choose the most appropriate therapy.
In order to improve communication between patient and doctor, a project was created in 2014: the nurse represents the point of reference for the patient during all the stay.
At the beginning of the stay, the patient is “assigned” to a “tutor nurse” who will be his spokesman for his necessities, interpreting and taking care of his needs.
Monday to Friday 8:00 – 16:00
