In general, gastroscopy can be performed in the Department of Gastroenterology, but if you have a history of stomach surgery, it is recommended that you consult a previous department, such as the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery.
Gastroscopy is a type of endoscopy, in which the doctor enters the mirror from the mouth, through the esophagus into the stomach, and finally into the duodenum.
Through gastroscopy, the doctor can clearly observe the color and shape of the mucous membrane of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, and detect inflammation, ulcers, polyps, tumors, vascular lesions, hemorrhages, and other lesions in the above areas.
And gastroenterology is the study of esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and other diseases. So you can usually hang up gastroenterology for a gastroscopy.
For patients who have a history of previous major gastrectomy, it is usually necessary to have a regular review of gastroscopy, and at this time it is recommended to hang up with the department where the previous treatment was performed, such as the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery.
