Endoscopy Unit at the Institute specializes in the <strong>prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases<\/strong> affecting the digestive system\u2014including the <a href=\"https:\/\/irccs.com\/en\/patologie\/esophageal-cancer\/\">esophagus<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/irccs.com\/en\/patologie\/tumors-of-the-stomach\/\">stomach<\/a>, duodenum, and <a href=\"https:\/\/irccs.com\/en\/patologie\/colorectal-cancers\/\">colorectum<\/a>, as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/irccs.com\/en\/patologie\/tumors-of-the-liver-and-biliary-tract\/\">liver<\/a>, biliary tract, and <a href=\"https:\/\/irccs.com\/en\/patologie\/tumors-of-the-pancreas\/\">pancreas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performing over <strong>10,000 procedures annually<\/strong>, the Unit is equipped with <strong>state-of-the-art instruments<\/strong> featuring advanced imaging technologies, including high-definition endoscopes and enhanced contrast techniques such as <strong>NBI<\/strong> (narrow-band imaging) and <strong>artificial intelligence-assisted imaging<\/strong>, which ensure high diagnostic accuracy and early identification of lesions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span  id=\"activities\" class=\"h2_anchor\"><\/span>Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advanced Diagnostics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most diagnostic procedures are performed under <strong>conscious sedation<\/strong> to ensure patient comfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post-procedure, patients are monitored in a dedicated <strong>recovery area<\/strong> with continuous vital sign checks and specialized nursing care, ensuring safety and well-being before and after the examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Treatments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Unit performs minimally invasive treatments for <strong>neoplastic and pre-neoplastic gastrointestinal lesions<\/strong>, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>EMR<\/strong> (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ESD<\/strong> (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>EID<\/strong>

Resection)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These procedures offer a <strong>conservative yet oncologically radical alternative<\/strong> to traditional surgery for patients with intramucosal lesions without lymph node involvement, promoting personalized, minimally invasive care while preserving quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size\"><strong>Advanced Endoscopic Procedures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ERCP<\/strong> with biliary and pancreatic stent placement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>EUS<\/strong> (Endoscopic Ultrasound) for
