Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy allows your doctor to examine the lining of your colon (large intestine) using a colonoscope, a long, flexible fiber-optic tube about the thickness of a finger that has a miniature camera in the tip. The tube is insterted into the anus and is slowly advanced into the rectum and colon. The doctor uses the scope to examine the entire lower gastrointestinal tract for any abnormalities appearing on the x-ray and to remove polyps, if necessary. Air is introduced to inflate the colon, allowing the doctor to carefully examine the lining. If any suspicious or abnormal areas appear, they are photographed or tissue samples are taken for further study and examination. The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, or less, but may require additional time if any polyps are present.

Gastroenterology
Fishers Digestive Care is a premier gastroenterology practice located in Fishers, IN, that has been serving patients with gastrointestinal problems for the past 20 years. Through our other office located in the Hancock Memorial Hospital Professional Building in Greenfield, IN, we are able to provide the same level of care to patients from Hancock and surrounding counties.
Colon Cancer
With our commitment to patient care, Fishers Digestive Care has been the only GI practice to offer EGD and Colonoscopies in an office setting for the past 14 years â€“ with over 2000 procedures completed. This unique office set-up offers a cost reduction of over 50% for patients and/or insurance companies. This includes a special reduced cost for self-paying patients. Office endoscopies are ideal for screening colon cancer and in general offer a more comfortable setting for patients and their families.
Endoscopy
An upper endoscopy lets your doctor examine the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first portion of the small intestine). Your doctor will use a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope, which has its own lens and light source, and will view the images on a video monitor. During the procedure, the endoscope is inserted into your mouth and down into your esophagus and stomach to get a good view. The endoscope is then slowly withdrawn while the doctor again is able to examine the area for problems. You might hear your doctor or other medical staff refer to upper endoscopy as upper GI endoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), or panendoscopy.

X-Rays

Lesions
An upper endoscopy is an important procedure used in the early detection of problems such as lesions or growths, which could later become cancerous. An endoscope can find what is causing symptoms such as reflux, heartburn, etc. that x-ray cannot. It can also help your doctor evalute symptoms or persistent upper abdominal pain, vomiting, or difficultiy swallowing. It is an excellent test for finding the cause of bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract. It is also more accurate than X-ray films for detecting inflammation, ulcers and tumors of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
