Digestive Endoscopy Service is a highly important part of digestive medicine today.
Endoscopy has allowed medical professionals to explore the interior of the human body through the introduction of an optic device in order to see internal tissues. It has also allowed biopsies to be taken and analysed in order to determine the seriousness of a lesion with great exactitude.
It is a very important diagnostic and therapeutic advance that is continuously evolving; a technique that allows for the performance of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies that provide answers and treatment for many pathologies.
