Endolumenal Surgery
Back to the nypdigestive.org Home Page
New York-Presbyterian's gastrointestinal specialists are leading the way in treating a range of gastrointestinal lesions and digestive diseases with endolumenal surgery – a new approach to surgery which is done via an endoscope inserted through the rectum.
Conditions that may be treated with endolumenal surgery include:
- colorectal and gastric neoplasms
- polyps
- stromal tumors
- gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors
In endolumenal surgery, the surgeon can remove the diseased tissue manage the blood supply without the typical probability of pain, scarring, risk of infection, and recovery time normally associated with incision surgery.
