What is Interventional Gastroenterology?

Interventional gastroenterology is a sub-specialty within gastroenterology that uses non-invasive, advanced techniques to identify conditions related to the digestive tract, pancreas, and bile ducts. The procedures used by an interventional gastroenterologist or endoscopist typically use a small tube and camera to identify and diagnose conditions quickly with faster recovery time and less pain as compared to traditional surgical approaches. In some cases, a GI Alliance of Illinois interventional specialist can not only diagnose an issue but remove the problem (GI-related cancerous polyp) without making any incisions during the procedure. Our advanced techniques speed recovery post-procedure and shorten the time to confirm care options.
