  The upper GI endoscopy uses a long, thin tube with a light and camera to investigate the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach, the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine), and the esophagus. With the help of the tube and camera, we are able to expertly guide the scope during the procedure and take pictures if necessary to evaluate and diagnose related problems.

• Computed Tomography
  Before we insert an enteral stent, we use a CT scan, barium enema, endoscopy, fluoroscopy, or radiography to determine the degree of obstruction and length of your stricture. This enables us to mark the size of the stricture and ensure that the stint is longer to avoid stent migration and movement.
