Comprehensive Care, Ground-Breaking Treatments
A healthy digestive system is essential for the body to function properly. Baptist Health offers gastrointestinal services, including endoscopy, to help doctors diagnose and treat digestive issues. We treat everything from ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome to colorectal and stomach cancers. In addition, we offer the breakthrough Medtronic Barrx Radiofrequency ablation procedure, which treats Barrett’s Esophagus and reduces your risk of esophageal cancer. Baptist Health was also the first in the state to utilize electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) to break up gallstones in the bile duct and ERBEJET 2, which is a new dimension in hydrosurgery that allows for precise, selective tissue separation gently by waterjet. Blood vessels and nerves remain intact up to a certain pressure. The ERBEJET 2 dissects sharply and precisely with minimal trauma to structures such as vessels, nerves and ducts.
