Gastroenterology

In Rome, the Gastroenterology and Digestive Endoscopy Center at Arsbiomedica Clinic is operational, renowned for diagnosing and treating all digestive system pathologies.

It relies on an integrated multidisciplinary medical team comprising various specialists: gastroenterologists, hepatologists, surgeons, oncologists, endoscopists, radiologists, internists, and nutritionists. They collaborate to design personalized diagnosis and treatment paths for each patient, both on an outpatient basis and during hospitalization.

Advanced Diagnosis

Our diagnostic pathways are supported by the clinic’s radiology service, coordinated by top-quality professionals working closely with the digestive endoscopy teams. They have access to state-of-the-art equipment such as CT scans, 3 Tesla MRI, and ultrasound. Our center performs daily diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures under deep sedation using technologically advanced instruments, enabling the prevention and early diagnosis of all digestive system oncological pathologies.

Gastroscopy and colonoscopy have traditionally been exams approached with concern by patients. At Arsbiomedica, we ensure a pathway that makes these procedures entirely tolerable and devoid of discomfort, thanks to the use of low-volume intestinal cleansing preparations. Moreover, with the support of our anesthetists, we can eliminate any perception of pain or emotional involvement through deep sedation.

Maximum attention is given to the quality and reliability of endoscopic instrument disinfection criteria through the use of modern endoscope washers and single-use materials.

The procedures performed at the Gastroenterology and Digestive Endoscopy Center include:

• Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsies and/or CP Test for Helicobacter pylori detection.
• Total colonoscopy with ileoscopy.
• Screening colonoscopy.
• Endoscopic removal of polypoid formations or removable neoplastic lesions.
• Stenting of stenotic segments of the upper and lower digestive tract or of the bile ducts and pancreas.
• Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and possible removal of gallstones.
• Emergency procedures for treating gastrointestinal bleeding or removing foreign bodies.
• Placement of PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy).

The synergistic multidisciplinary approach between the gastroenterologist specialist, the radiology service, and the clinical laboratory allows for the precise and safe treatment of all functional and organic pathologies of the digestive system, particularly:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease, its complications, and extra-digestive manifestations.
• Dyspeptic disorders, gastropathies, and duodenopathies (gastritis, peptic ulcer).
• pylori infection, diagnosed endoscopically or through non-invasive tests like the Urea Breath Test.
• Irritable bowel syndrome.
• Chronic constipation.
• Diverticulosis, diverticular disease, and its complications (diverticulitis).
• Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis).
• Proctological pathologies.
• Liver, biliary tract, and pancreatic diseases.
• Neoplastic lesions or conditions at risk (precancerous) of the digestive system.
• Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.
• Malabsorption or food intolerances study using non-invasive methods such as lactose breath test.
• Study of the microbiota, intestinal dysbiosis, and bacterial flora: lactulose breath test.
• Metabolic disorders associated with hepatic steatosis.
• Eating behavior disorders, both excessive and deficient.
• Nutritional support during systemic diseases (oncological, neurodegenerative).

Our center is a unique reference point for patients, capable of managing all necessary examinations for the treatment of all digestive system pathologies in a single day and location.
