Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is an endoscopic examination that allows for the diagnosis of the colon. Colonoscopy mainly allows for the diagnosis of colon bleeding and colon cancer screening. During the exploration, small colon polyps can be removed.

Esophageal pHmetry

Esophageal pHmetry allows for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux. A probe is inserted through the nostrils to the esophagus. A box connected to the probe records information for 24 hours to detect the presence of acid or non-acid reflux.
