The Bon Secours Hospital Dublin has one of the largest Gastroenterologist teams in the country. There are currently 15 consultants with a variety of interests and expertise focusing on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the digestive tract and liver.
One of the key tools used by the Gastroenterologist team to help in the diagnosis of patients is endoscopy. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic medical procedure used to asses the interior surfaces of an organ by inserting a tube into the body. This is done using a rigid or flexible tube which has a built in fibre optic camera, which provides an image for visual inspection and biopsy. More details about the international accredited endoscopy unit and the services provided are available here, The gastroenterology team perform >13,000 procedures in 2016.
The team works very closely with the Nutrition and Dietician team, the Diagnostic Imaging Department and the Upper GI and Colorectal Surgical Team within the hospital to provide a complete and comprehensive service for patients with gastrointestinal complaints.
Conditions treated and services provided by the Gastroenterology team include:
Breast Reconstruction, Head and Neck Reconstruction, Skin Cancers, Hand Surgery, Cosmetic Surgery
