Interventional Endoscopy Advances Non-invasive GI Treatment

Historically, the realm of flexible endoscopy was primarily diagnostic. However, emerging endoscopic devices and procedures are now also delivering treatment and replacing surgery. Dr. Kenneth Binmoeller, MD is leading this innovative, non-invasive charge.

There was a time when flexible endoscopy was revolutionary because of the diagnostic advantages it provided. Unlike its predecessor, rigid endoscope, the flexible endoscope allowed the user to navigate hard-to-reach areas by controlling the directional movement of the scope’s distal end. Today, flexible endoscopy is again at the forefront of medicine by facilitating game-changing methods of treatment without surgery. Dr. Kenneth Binmoeller, M.D., an internationally acclaimed gastroenterologist, is among the world’s leading authorities in developing the devices and procedures that are driving the growth of interventional endoscopy.

“Advances in endoscopy have been remarkable, enabling us to diagnose and treat diseases with flexible endoscopy under conscious sedation,” states Dr. Binmoeller, Director and Founder of Interventional Endoscopic Services Medical Group (IES). “Patients benefit enormously from the minimally invasive approach that endoscopy affords, including substantial savings in health care costs.”

Dr. Binmoeller and the other IES Medical Group physicians are pioneering state-of-the-art endoscopic expertise at the Paul May & Frank Stein Interventional Endoscopy Center in San Francisco, CA. It is one of the few centers in the world that offers interventional endoscopy for comprehensive GI disease treatment options.

With a highly advanced interventional endoscopy skill set and by utilizing the most leading-edge technology not available in most medical facilities, the IES Medical Group diagnoses and treats an ever-growing list of conditions including: Barrett’s esophagus, benign and malignant stricture, bile and pancreatic cancer, bile and pancreatic stones, variceal bleeding, non-variceal bleeding, fistulas and leaks, Zenker’s diverticulum, obesity and diabetes, GERD, Achalasia, large polyps and early-stage cancers, submucosal tumors, pseudocysts, walled off necroses (WON), acute cholecystitis and gallstones, and gastric outlet obstruction.

The gains achieved in interventional endoscopy are largely driven by research initiatives, many of which Dr. Binmoeller has personally initiated. And while research funds are becoming increasingly difficult to secure, Dr. Binmoeller points to recent progress in the field as reason to continue fighting for support of interventional endoscopy initiatives.

“Some of the newest and most exciting interventional endoscopy progress is in the creation of devices that enable the curative removal of cancerous and precancerous growths while maximally preserving healthy tissue anatomy and physiology,” says Dr. Binmoeller. “With early detection, digestive tract cancers, currently the most common and deadliest worldwide, can be eradicated with endoscopic therapy.”
