Colon

Otolaryngology focuses on the ears, nose, and throat. It is also called otolaryngology-head and neck surgery because specialists are trained in both medicine and surgery. An otolaryngologist is often called an ear, nose, and throat doctor, or an ENT for short.

Metabolic Surgery

Screening and Diagnostic Endoscopy

An endoscopy can be done for both screening and diagnostic purposes. In both situations, the procedure is the same. However, a screening endoscopy is done as part of a routine health check to look for early signs of disease, whereas a diagnostic endoscopy is done to confirm the presence of disease when it is already suspected.

Thyroid and Parathyroid

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that is located at the base of the front of the neck that uses iodine from food to produce hormones that play a role in regulating metabolism, heartrate, body temperature, and other bodily activities. There are also four parathyroid glands located behind the thyroid that produces the parathyroid hormone that helps control the amount of calcium in the bloodstream.

Whipple Procedure
