Endoscopic Ultrasound Procedure

Ultrasound endoscopy procedures allow your doctor to obtain a view of your esophagus, stomach, pancreas, and bile ducts. These procedures can be accurate at diagnosing a variety of conditions and help identify complications that may not be visible based solely on symptoms alone.

San Jose Gastroenterology’s ultrasound endoscopy procedure may be performed as follows:

• You will be placed under a light sedative while at San Jose Gastroenterology’s office.
• A thin, flexible tube will be placed into the mouth and guided into the stomach or the small intestine.
• At the end of the tube, there will be an ultrasound probe. The probe itself is the ultrasound device and it is capable of capturing images as it passes through your digestive tract.
• The images are fed back to the technician’s monitor and are then reviewed by your doctor.
• Some procedures take up to 40 minutes, but they are all out-patient procedures performed in-office.
