Interventional Endoscopy at Lee Health

Lee Health's interventional endoscopy team has brought the latest therapeutic endoscopic procedures, devices, and technology to the Fort Myers area. Our physicians use interventional endoscopies to perform minimally invasive procedures without needing to make external incisions. They can examine a patient's gastrointestinal (GI) tract, take tissue samples from hard-to-reach parts of the body, and relieve many different GI symptoms.

The interventional endoscopy team works closely with our system's cancer care providers. Our team helps diagnose patients by collecting tissue samples and closely staging GI tract malignancies. These procedures help doctors craft better treatment plans and manage early GI tract cancer cases. They also help doctors provide better palliative care to patients with more advanced cancers.

Please note: Appointments with the Interventional Endoscopy team are made by referral only.

Interventional Endoscopy FAQ

Lee Health's interventional endoscopists help diagnose and treat various illnesses relating to the GI tract. Their services help people in Southwest Florida avoid the need for major surgery. Some of the most common services we provide are:

  • Advanced imaging to diagnose and acquire tissue from GI tumors
  • Endoscopic management of GI tract obstruction
  • Complex Pancreatic fluid collection
  • Removal of large GI tract tumors and early cancer
  • Endoscopic management of cancer-related pain
  • Endoscopic management of acid reflux
  • Endoscopic management of gallbladder disease
  • Endoscopic management of obesity

Interventional endoscopies have a lower risk of complications when compared to traditional surgeries. Since interventional endoscopies require no external incisions, patients spend less time under anesthesia and recover faster. Because of these factors, interventional endoscopies also have lower costs.
