Gastrointestinal and Liver Center

The Gastrointestinal and Liver Center at Samitivej Chonburi Hospital is a specialized medical facility dedicated to providing advanced and comprehensive care for patients with gastrointestinal and liver diseases. The center prioritizes early risk assessment and accurate diagnosis by leveraging cutting-edge technology and AI systems. The medical team consists of highly qualified doctors with specialized training in gastrointestinal and liver diseases, holding Diplomas in Gastroenterology and Liver Disease. These doctors have also undergone Advance Cardiac Life Support (ACLS Provider Course) training, ensuring patient safety during procedures.

The center offers a range of services, including Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy, both of which are essential diagnostic procedures for identifying gastrointestinal issues. The medical team is experienced in diagnosing and treating various gastrointestinal diseases, addressing symptoms and providing appropriate treatments. Additionally, the center focuses on screening for and detecting the risk of gastric cancer and colon cancer in patients.

To aid in diagnosis and treatment, the center utilizes advanced medical equipment and technology. For assessing the degree of liver cirrhosis, the center employs Fibroscan, a non-invasive method that does not require liver tissue puncture, ensuring accurate results without causing pain to patients. The center also uses a urea breath test to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in the stomach, with results available within 20 minutes.

The center is well-equipped with specialized rooms and facilities to deliver high-quality care to patients. There are dedicated operating rooms for gastric and intestinal endoscopy, complete with life-saving equipment for emergencies. Additionally, there are bowel preparation rooms with private bathrooms to ensure patient comfort and privacy. After endoscopy procedures, patients are cared for in the rehabilitation room by a full-time nurse until they awaken from the sedation.

Endoscopic equipment from Olympus, a leading medical technology company, is used at the center, enabling precise detection of polyps and abnormalities. The center also features the first high-tech device with deeper analytical processing equipment or AI in the eastern region of Thailand, enhancing polyp and abnormality identification capabilities.

The center's commitment to staying at the forefront of medical innovation is evident with the availability of Fibroscan, a modern technique for assessing liver elasticity and fat accumulation. This method serves as a non-invasive alternative to traditional liver biopsy, providing accurate results with minimal complications and discomfort for patients.

With its team of experienced experts and state-of-the-art equipment, the Gastrointestinal and Liver Center at Samitivej Chonburi Hospital is dedicated to providing the best possible care for patients with gastrointestinal and liver diseases from Chonburi and neighboring provinces.
