A full range of endoscopic, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures are available by referral from the primary physician or can be self-directed. Colonoscopies (to screen for colon cancer and remove polyps) and upper endoscopies (to evaluate and treat heartburn and ulcers) are common daily procedures that occasionally save lives, but regularly provide symptom relief and peace of mind. We are very proud of our physicians and professional staff and are ready to serve you and address your concerns involving the digestive system. Thank you for trusting Lonestar Endoscopy to assist you with your health care needs.
A colonoscopy is an endoscopic procedure where a long, thin, flexible tube or “scope” is placed into the rectum and advanced through the entire colon (large intestine). The scope has a light and a camera on the end of it which allows the physician to examine the lining of the colon.
An esophagogastroduodenoscopy is an endoscopic procedure where a long, thin, flexible tube or “scope” is placed into the mouth and advanced to the duodenum (the beginning of the small intestine). The scope has a light and a camera on the end of it which allows the physician to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and first portion of the small intestine.
