“At the Department of Gastroenterology of Shihwa Medical Center, we diagnose and treat diseases of esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestines, large intestines, liver, pancreas, biliary tract, and gallbladder, which are essential for maintaining life.”

The endoscopy team consisting of gastroenterologists and nurses is playing a leading role in the prevention and treatment of digestive diseases using the latest endoscopy equipment.
In addition, when a patient has or is suspected of having a benign or malignant disease of the bile duct or pancreas, gallstones, or pancreatitis, a pancreatobiliary duct specialist with extensive clinical experience inserts an endoscope into the duodenum and injects a contrast agent into the bile duct and pancreatic duct through a small hole called the 'duodenal papilla'. Then, high-level endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in which radiation is used to observe the lesion site is performed to take care of patient's digestive health.
