At Little Company of Mary, we're not only focused on reducing the pain of our diagnostic procedures and treatments.  We're also striving to make your complete health care experience as painless as possible. That's why we're proud to announce our all-new Endoscopy Center at its new location on the main floor of the North Pavilion. 

The Endoscopy Center features state-of-the-art technology for the diagnosis of digestive and respiratory disorders, including:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Diseases of the digestive tract
• Motility problems
• Chest X-ray abnormalities

With state-of-the-art equipment, we can make performing and experiencing endoscopic procedures as pain-free as possible.   Advanced procedures include:  

• Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
• Upper endoscopy
• Colonoscopy
• Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP) 
• Sigmoidoscopy
• Bronchoscopy
• Transesophageal echocardiogram

Little Company of Mary Hospital offers a minimally invasive technology that uses ultrasoundimaging technology to inspect the digestive tract and surrounding tissues and organs for abnormalities, including cancer.

The procedure, Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) uses a small flexible tube called an endoscope, most commonly used in upper endoscopies or colonoscopies that have an ultrasound probe built-in the tip of the device. While sedated, a tube is inserted into the mouth or rectum and the physician observes a 180-degree video image of the inside of the digestive tract. A second monitor displays 360-degree ultrasound images of the structures and organs surrounding the digestive tract in high resolution.

The technology allows the physician to precisely examine the area in a more magnified and clearer view than ever  before. The entire procedure takes up to one hour, which allows  you to go home the same day.

Benefits of EUS for patients:
• More advanced imaging than CT-scans or MRIs
• Less invasive biopsy capability for rapid diagnoses
• Two certified EUS specialists available for flexible scheduling

LCM Endoscopy Center benefits:
• State of the art equipment & university-level procedures
• Easy, main floor access just steps away from valet parking
• Simple, flexible scheduling
• Free WI-FI Internet connectivity in reception area

With a more comfortable setting and minimally invasive equipment for digestive diagnoses, Little Company of Mary is helping to reduce the stress associated with endoscopic procedures. It's just another step forward in our pursuit of pain-free health care.Physician's order required.
