Endoscopic Ultrasound

Endoscopic ultrasound specialists at Gruppo San Donato provide advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract. This minimally invasive technique combines endoscopy and ultrasound to offer a detailed view of the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding organs. Utilizing a specialized endoscope equipped with a small ultrasound device, endoscopic ultrasound allows for comprehensive evaluation of areas that may be difficult to assess with traditional imaging methods.

Endoscopic ultrasound is particularly effective for diagnosing conditions in the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, as well as the lower gastrointestinal tract and nearby organs such as the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. It is frequently used for supporting cardiovascular diagnostics, locating tumors or cysts, evaluating chronic pancreatitis, staging cancers, identifying biliary stones, and draining fluid collections in the abdomen.
