Overview

In the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract field, we perform endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal tumors and inflammatory bowel disease. Endoscopic hemostasis, foreign body removal,
gastrointestinal dilatation,　stenting and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy are also performed. In the biliopancreatic field, we perform pathological diagnosis, drainage, and bile duct stone removal using ERCP, EUS,  Balloon-Assisted Enteroscopy, and  Peroral Cholangioscopy. In the respiratory field, we select the best treatment for each individual based on the results of genetic analysis of bronchoscopic specimens and we take a multidisciplinary treatment approach. We conduct clinical research related to these procedures and give systematic lectures covering the latest endoscopic practices.
