GIT & Liver Diseases

Home to one of the most well-equipped units in the Middle East and Africa, the endoscopy unit at our hospitals abide to the highest quality and infection control standards, where we offer a wide range of specialized outpatient and inpatient gastrointestinal and hepatology services.

Our multidisciplinary and highly qualified medical teams perform complicated and sophisticated surgeries, including hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgeries in adults and children, equipped with world-class technologies and integrated medical care services. In addition, our hospitals run a specialized blood bank unit to ensure 100% availability of fresh blood, applying advanced techniques for storage and crossmatching of blood to guarantee the highest safety levels.

Specialized endoscopy procedures include a third space and an advanced procedures unit, which replaces major operative procedures and shortens hospital stay and recovery times. This includes peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), Zenker’s Diverticulectomy (Z-POEM), endoscopic gastric pyloromyotomy (GPOEM), and submucosal tunnelling endoscopic resection (STER) procedures.

Several other advanced luminal endoscopy procedures are performed by the third space endoscopy team at our hospitals, including endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic stent placement. As all of these procedures are highly specialized, requiring complex medical decision- making, the third space endoscopy team works closely with our highly skilled specialized GIT surgical team, as well as the thoracic, bariatric, colorectal, and general surgery services.

Our GIT and liver diseases unit is run by some of the best surgeons and technical experts in the country, including liver transplantation GIT and hepatobiliary surgeons, anesthetists, radiologists, lab technicians, and a highly qualified intensive care medical team of doctors and nurses, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
