High-Tech Endoscopy Centre

Olympus X1 Endoscopy System with AI

FV Hospital uses next-generation endoscopic systems integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the detection of subtle abnormalities that may otherwise be missed during conventional examinations.

High-definition imaging technologies such as Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), magnification endoscopy (EVIS X1 Video System CV-1500, the latest system), and AI-assisted lesion recognition allow doctors to identify very small precancerous lesions in the digestive tract.

These technologies enable minimally invasive treatment directly through the endoscope, avoiding surgery and preserving healthy tissue.

Capsule Endoscopy

You swallow a capsule the size of a vitamin pill. Inside it is a tiny camera. As it travels naturally through your digestive system, it takes thousands of pictures, especially of the small intestine, an area that is hard to reach with normal scopes. No tubes. No sedation. Just swallow and go about your day.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

ERCP is a therapeutic endoscopic technique that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopic imaging to diagnose and treat diseases of the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts without surgery, reducing complications and hospital stay.

Imagine being able to fix bile duct or pancreatic problems from the inside, without open surgery. ERCP uses a flexible tube to reach blocked or narrowed ducts and remove stones, open strictures, diagnose cancer, and provide treatment procedures like placing stents. Smaller intervention. Faster recovery. Less stress on your body.

SpyGlass Cholangioscopy for difficult bile duct stones

In complex cases where bile duct stones are located in difficult positions such as the cystic duct or intrahepatic ducts, our team uses the SpyGlass Cholangioscopy system in combination with ERCP.

This technology allows doctors to directly visualize the bile duct and perform precise stone fragmentation and removal, greatly improving success rates for complex biliary stones.

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)

At FV, we perform a wide range of advanced EUS procedures, including the diagnosis and staging of malignant diseases, fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and biopsy for pathological examination, drainage of abscess collections into the gastrointestinal tract, and biliary stent placement.

EUS combines endoscopy and high-resolution ultrasound to assess lesions inside and outside the digestive tract. It not only sees the surface but also looks through the wall of the stomach or intestine to examine nearby organs like the pancreas. If something looks unusual, doctors can take a small tissue sample right away. It gives a deeper, more precise view when regular scans are not enough. It is also very useful for cancer assessment.

It accurately determines the stage of a disease and its spread to nearby lymph nodes, enabling precise biopsies and effective treatment plans.

EUS plays a crucial role in diagnosing and staging many diseases, including:

It also allows EUS-guided biopsy and drainage procedures, enabling highly precise tissue sampling. The procedure is performed under anaesthesia and typically takes around 90 minutes. After recovery, your doctor will assess your condition before you are discharged home.

Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC)

APC is a non-contact thermal therapy used for several conditions, including:

It provides effective haemostasis while minimising damage to surrounding tissue.
