Endoscopy

Bothwell Regional Health Center offers a variety of endoscopic procedures. Endoscopy uses fiber-optics (lighted tubes) to examine the stomach, colon, lungs and other organs to help diagnose various problems. Common procedures include colonoscopies, bladder scans, urodynamics, bronchoscopy, gastroscopy and flexible cystoscopy.

During an endoscopic procedure, you will be sedated and monitored for every procedure by registered nurses who are certified in advanced cardiac life support. By having endoscopy procedures at Bothwell, you have access to additional resources if needed.

Bothwell is an accredited hospital, so you can be assured we follow the same strict sterilization policies dictated by The Joint Commission as other hospitals use.
