Progrese în gastroenterologie. Dr. Gabriel Constantinescu (SANADOR), la DC Medical și DC News

Prof. Dr. Gabriel Constantinescu, coordinator of the Center of Excellence in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Digestive Endoscopy SANADOR Floreasca, was invited to DC Medical and DC News. Along with journalist Val Vâlcu, Prof. Dr. Gabriel Constantinescu spoke to us about: The evolution of interventional endoscopy "Some of the pathology that is today treated by interventional endoscopy was previously approached by classical surgical methods. The evolution of some procedures does not happen from one day to the next" Gastroesophageal reflux disease "Gastroesophageal reflux disease is not a life-threatening pathology, but it is extremely disturbing" ARMA technique (Anti-Reflux Mucosal Ablation) "Anti-reflux mucosal ablation is the acronym for a recently developed technique. Basically, we insert the endoscope into the stomach and, using an argon plasma catheter, the mucosa is burned circumferentially, i.e. approximately 75% of the circumference of the cardiac area" Prevention of esophageal and colon cancer "However, reflux disease is one of the risk factors for the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma, but not the only one" Achalasia and the technique POEM "There are also diseases located in sensitive areas, such as achalasia. Achalasia is a condition in which the patient cannot swallow properly, because the esophagus has hypercontractility and food gets stuck" Gastric sleeve "Gastric sleeve, i.e. the classic weight loss surgery, is performed by surgeons and is very effective. Of course, it has its indications and contraindications" The show will be broadcast on Tuesday, March 31, at 10:00, on: Sites: www.dcmedical.ro www.dcnews.ro www.dcnewstv.ro YouTube:    / @dcmedicalro5539      / @dcnewsromania      / @clipuridcnewstv   Facebook:   / dcmedicalro     / dcnews.ro     / dcnewstv
