Digestive System

There are a number of reasons for inadequate oral intake, whether temporary or permanent.

These may include patients with swallowing disorders (cerebrovascular accident, multiple sclerosis and other disorders of the nervous system), patients with esophageal or tracheal obstruction, patients with tumors or other severe oral cavity diseases, patients with anorexia, and more.

These cases can be resolved with percutaneous gastrostomy or gastrojejunostomy, namely the insertion of a tube that leads to the stomach for direct feeding.

The procedure is quick and painless.

Drainage of abscesses in any organ and empyemas is performed under image-guided aspiration and the collection of a sample for culture.

When jejunal feeding is required for a certain period of time, a nasojejunal feeding tube is inserted under imaging guidance.

In the event of upper or lower GI bleeding, the endoscopic and surgical teams join forces to investigate and treat vascular deterioration.
