360 Clinic

Driven by the desire to diversify our services, in 2018 we invested in creating and equipping new departments under the name 360 Clinic. Today, Clinica 360 includes an outpatient segment, a wide range of medical and surgical specialties, a day hospitalization unit organized into 4 rooms with beds, a post-anesthesia care unit, and an endoscopy department. Additionally, the clinic is equipped with a medical testing collection point and a functional explorations department. We believe that medical service safety, combined with dedication and commitment to patient care and quality of life, are the principles that help us become a benchmark of excellence in the medical field in which we operate.

Key differentiator

1. Interventional Endoscopy

We have expanded the range of services available to our patients by introducing advanced endoscopic procedures that enable the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal tract disorders through minimally invasive techniques:

• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

ERCP is a minimally invasive procedure that combines endoscopic technique and radiologic imaging to examine and treat conditions affecting the bile and pancreatic ducts. A side-viewing endoscope is inserted through the mouth into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Once the duodenal papilla is identified—the site where the bile and pancreatic ducts empty—a contrast agent is introduced via catheter under X-ray guidance, allowing clear visualization of the ducts.
The papilla is then incised (sphincterotomy), enabling access for instruments to treat bile duct stones, tumors, or strictures.

• ERCP with Biliary Stent Placement

Patients with malignant biliary or pancreatic tumors often present with symptoms such as biliary obstruction or delayed gastric emptying due to tumor invasion. Surgical resection is the only curative option, but at diagnosis, only 15–20% of these tumors are resectable. In most cases, palliative treatment is necessary. Interventional endoscopy, particularly biliary stenting, plays a crucial role in symptom management.

• Endoscopic Removal of Foreign Bodies
• Endoscopic Stenting (Esophageal / Gastric / Colonic)
• Polypectomy using EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection)

EMR is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove precancerous or early-stage cancerous lesions—commonly polyps—from the digestive tract. It allows for removal of the lesion while preserving the organ’s structure.
Depending on lesion location, EMR is performed during either upper endoscopy (examining the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum) or colonoscopy (examining the colon).

• Polypectomy using ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection)

ESD is an advanced minimally invasive procedure designed for the en bloc resection of large, complex, or submucosa-invading precancerous and early-stage cancerous lesions. Unlike EMR, which may require piecemeal removal, ESD allows for removal of the entire lesion in one piece.
This enables the pathologist to assess resection margins precisely—both lateral and deep—helping to ensure complete removal and achieving a zero recurrence rate when margins are tumor-free.

2. Video Capsule Endoscopy (VCE)

VCE is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses a tiny camera—roughly the size of a vitamin capsule—to capture images of the digestive tract. As the capsule naturally moves through the gastrointestinal system, it transmits thousands of images to a receiver worn on the patient’s belt.
This method is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions of the small intestine, an area difficult to access via traditional endoscopy or colonoscopy.

3. Allurion Gastric Balloon

The Allurion Gastric Balloon is a non-surgical, swallowable weight-loss device designed to reduce food intake and support long-term lifestyle changes. Unlike conventional gastric balloons, it requires no endoscopy or anesthesia for placement or removal.
The balloon is enclosed in a vegetarian capsule attached to a thin catheter. After being swallowed and confirmed in the stomach via X-ray, it is filled with liquid through the catheter. The balloon stays in the stomach for around 16 weeks, occupying space and creating a sensation of fullness, which helps reduce food intake.
After this period, a built-in valve opens, allowing the balloon to deflate and pass naturally through the digestive tract.
This procedure is an ideal, non-invasive option for patients seeking to kickstart their weight-loss journey under medical supervision.
