First Floor, Kuakini Medical Center
Physicians and specially trained nurses provide diagnostic and therapeutic procedures related to the gastrointestinal system. The procedures are performed using specialized equipment called endoscopes which are used to examine the esophagus, stomach and large intestines. Other procedures such as liver biopsies, gastrostomy tube placement, endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCPs), dilations and stent placements may also be done through this service. These procedures are performed on inpatients and outpatients.
Kuakini's G.I. Lab was also the first in the state to use a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine to detect abnormalities and cancers in the gastrointestinal tract. This new outpatient procedure provides detailed information without expensive and painful exploratory surgery.
