Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy involves the examination of the colon with a flexible tube, which is inserted through the rectum and advanced around the colon, then slowly withdrawn during which time polyps may be removed. Screening and prevention of colorectal cancer are the most common reasons for performing this procedure. Preparation includes consuming only clear liquids on the day prior to the procedure, as well as drinking a cleansing solution. Usually, patients are sedated for this procedure, which lasts 15-30 minutes on average. You may review the instruction form on this website for more details.

Gastroenterology
Dr. Ellis practices general gastroenterology. Consultations and management of all gastrointestinal tract disorders are available in person at Dr. Ellis’ office adjacent to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (pictured above) or via telemedicine platform.
Ovarian Cancer
Removal of polyps in the colon as well as in other areas of the gastrointestinal tract is a cancer-prevention procedure. Colon polyps are found in 25-40% of patients over the age of 50, with similar incidence in younger patients who have a family history of colon cancer or other genetically-related cancers such as breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. Polyps are visualized at the time of colonoscopy and endoscopy, and they are removed by either the use of a wire-loop device (a “snare”), a biopsy instruments. The polyp may be cauterized as well. Patients do not feel any pain with this as the intestinal tract does not have nerve endings that sense this type of process.
Colon Cancer
Endoscopy
Upper endoscopy involves the insertion of a flexible tube into the mouth and subsequently down the esophagus, into the stomach and first part of the small intestine. Patients are sedated for this procedure, which is used to evaluate symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, stomach pains and problems such as gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and ulcers. Biopsies may be taken to search for a bacteria, Helicobacter Pylori, which contributes to ulcers, as well as for conditions such as Celiac Disease.

Ulcer
Helicobacter Pylori is a bacteria that may cause ulcer symptoms (dyspepsia). There is also concern over a carcinogenic effect of this bacteria. The test involves arriving at the doctor’s office in the morning prior to eating or drinking anything, then ingesting a small amount of a test solution which interacts with the H. Pylori bacteria. This interaction produces a substance which is excreted in the breath, indicating the bacteria’s presence. Treatment involves a course of two antibiotics for a period of 7-14 days.
