“Performing an accurate diagnosis using endoscopy makes it easy for patients to return to daily life.”

Recently, the incidence of peptic ulcer and bleeding, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and functional bowel disease tends to increase due to the rapid aging of the population, westernization of diet, and stress. Therefore, the demand for early diagnosis and accurate treatment of digestive diseases is on the rise.

At the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center, Shihwa Medical Center, based on skilled medical care and surgical experience and the latest endoscopy and ultrasound equipment, gastroscopy specialists and dedicated nursing staff work as a team to perform professional diagnosis and gastroscopy and colonoscopy for organs related to digestion. We provide a one-stop, one-day colonoscopy service in which any polyps found during endoscopy are removed. While we perform endoscopic resection to reduce complications, we are doing our best to improve the quality of life of patients.

In addition, with an equipment cleaning system that complies with the Korean Endoscopy Society’s guidelines, we observe strict infection prevention. Safer examinations are provided through oxygen partial pressure measurement, pulse measurement, and oxygen supply that are necessary for sleep endoscopy. The medical staff at this center will do their best to ensure that patients with digestive problems can get the best endoscopy in a comfortable and comfortable way.

Advantages of the Gastrointestinal  Endoscopy Center  of SHMC
    • Up-to-date endoscopy equipment
    • We have Olympus HQ-290, an ultra-high-definition endoscope with a soft and slender tip with a diameter of 9 mm that allows for magnified observation of microscopic lesions less than 1 mm in the esophagus and gastric mucosa, resulting in an accurate diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases.
    • Efficient transfer design
    • For the convenience of patients, we have a one-stop system in which the Comprehensive Health Examination Center, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center, and Internal Medicine Department all are located on the 2nd floor of the main building, so that you can get examinations, endoscopy, and treatment on the same floor in the shortest possible way.
    • Leading infection prevention
    • After the endoscopy, a fully automatic washer is used according to the instructions for cleaning and disinfecting the endoscope. A total of 5 steps (washing → disinfection → rinsing → drying → storage) disinfection guidelines are being followed. The endoscope is dried and stored in a UV-sterilized storage box to ensure clean and safe examination at all times.
    • Experienced medical staff
    • If a polyp that may develop into cancer is discovered during the examination, surgery is promptly performed to remove it with the consent of the patient and guardian. In particular, in the case of colonoscopy, whose preparation is cumbersome and difficult, it is performed during the examination, thereby reducing the patients’ re-examination rate.
