'Super endoscopy machines' detect early gastrointestinal cancer

The world's leading modern endoscope with integrated artificial intelligence (AI) helps to "detect" lesions, ulcers, polyps, and gastrointestinal tumors more accurately and earlier, and even perform "radical" resection of early-stage superficial cancers.

Outstanding advantages

Dr. Do Minh Hung, Director of the Center for Endoscopy and Endoscopic Surgery of the Digestive System - Tam Anh General Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, said that endoscopy is considered the gold standard in diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases, especially gastrointestinal cancers. Currently, AI and modern technologies integrated in modern endoscopes such as Olympus EVIS X1 CV - 1500, Fujifilm 7000, Handheld Endoscopic Robot and 3D/4K ICG Rubina Storz Endoscopic System are new developments, becoming a powerful assistant for doctors in screening, detecting and treating gastrointestinal diseases very early.

For example, AI technology in endoscopes helps doctors improve the efficiency of endoscopy, detecting microscopic abnormalities in the digestive tract (polyps, ulcers, precancerous tissue, etc.). AI also helps doctors identify and classify polyps at a very small and early stage, with high sensitivity and accuracy. If these abnormalities are detected early, doctors will remove them during the endoscopy process, eradicating cancer early.

Fujifilm 7000 endoscope system is equipped with the latest imaging technology, high magnification helps to observe all small lesions in complex locations in the digestive tract that cannot be detected by the naked eye.

Endoscopic gastrointestinal surgery using modern technologies and machines such as handheld robots, 3D/4K ICG Rubina Storz endoscopic surgery system has replaced traditional open surgery methods, bringing outstanding advantages such as minimal invasion, less blood loss, limited risk of infection, shortened treatment time, reduced costs, high aesthetics... Endoscopic surgery is applied to treat serious diseases of the digestive tract such as benign and malignant tumors, achalasia, gastroesophageal reflux, gastric perforation, gastric reduction to treat obesity...

The C-arm fluorescent screen helps doctors accurately perform ERCP endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to remove stones, ensuring patient safety.

Reduce the burden of digestive diseases

Handheld endoscopic surgery robots are used in complex pathological cases that require precise dissection and delicate surgical sutures such as esophagectomy, gastrectomy, pancreaticoduodenal resection, etc.

According to doctors, the digestive system starts from the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine to colon, rectum, anus. Supporting these organs throughout the process are the pancreas, gallbladder and liver.

The Rubina Storz 3D/4K ICG endoscopic surgery system integrates cutting-edge, 3D imaging technologies, simulating the mechanism of the human eye for the most realistic feeling; 4K resolution, ICG overlay fluorescence technology for sharp images, true colors to help doctors perform precise endoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.

Diseases occurring in the digestive tract range in severity from gastroesophageal reflux, gastric and duodenal ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids; more serious ones include bile duct stones, liver duct stones, digestive polyps, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, bile duct cancer, etc. According to experts, the burden of diseases related to the digestive tract is very large due to the increasing number of people with digestive diseases, most of whom are diagnosed at a severe stage, making treatment complicated, expensive and not very effective. However, if diagnosed early, accurately and treated with the right method with technology and qualifications, experience of the doctor, digestive diseases, even digestive cancer can be treated well, the prognosis of patients living a healthy life is very high.

In Vietnam, the number of patients coming to see a doctor for digestive diseases increases by 20% each year. Factors such as subjective psychology, irregular eating and living habits, etc. contribute to the sharp increase in digestive diseases.

The OER-AW automatic endoscope cleaning and disinfection system and modern endoscope storage cabinet help keep endoscopes absolutely sterile.

According to records at Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, in the first two quarters of 2024, the Hospital's Endoscopy and Endoscopic Surgery Center received more than 40,000 examinations. Of which, more than 12,000 patients had gastric reflux, 4,000 people were found to have colon polyps, about 2,000 cases related to the gallbladder - bile duct, nearly 1,800 people had hemorrhoids...
