What is an enteroscopy? Enteroscopy is a visual examination of the small intestine that can reveal lesions, allowing your doctor to determine the cause of your symptoms or abnormal blood tests (anemia). If necessary, tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken for microscopic analysis or lesions can be treated. Why have an enteroscopy? Your doctor recommended this procedure due to symptoms suggesting a problem in the digestive tract (small intestine). Enteroscopy is performed using an endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera and light at the tip) to detect internal lesions and take biopsies if needed. It helps diagnose various conditions (diarrhea, abdominal pain, bowel transit disorders, bleeding, anemia, weight loss, tumor detection, etc.). Polyp removal or coagulation of bleeding lesions is also possible. How to prepare for an enteroscopy? Inform your doctor about your medical history and current medications (especially blood-thinning drugs: aspirin, Plavix, Sintrom, Xarelto, Eliquis, Pradaxa…). Also report any known allergies.For lower enteroscopy, the intestine must be completely clean to allow accurate examination and therapeutic procedures. Follow the preparation instructions carefully (low-residue diet in the days before the exam and bowel-clearing drink the day before). See the colonoscopy preparation instructions. For upper enteroscopy, no preparation the day before is needed.You must be fasting (no food, drink, or smoking) for at least 6 hours before the procedure. Remove any dental prostheses and glasses. How is an enteroscopy performed? A long flexible endoscope is inserted through the mouth (upper enteroscopy) or anus (lower enteroscopy) and advanced into the small intestine. Sometimes, an overtube or balloon system is used to facilitate progression. Air is insufflated to flatten the intestinal walls. You may feel bloated or have gas after the procedure. Various biopsies may be taken if your doctor deems it necessary.If polyps are found, they are removed with forceps or an electric knife (“polypectomy”). Vascular ectasias (angiomas) may be coagulated.For your comfort, general anesthesia is often offered. The procedure lasts approximately 45 to 90 minutes, depending on whether both upper and lower routes are used. Hospital observation overnight is required after anesthesia. Possible complications of enteroscopy Any medical procedure, even when performed under optimal conditions, carries a risk of complications.Enteroscopy complications are rare (intestinal perforation, hematomas in the wall or abdomen, bleeding, infections, cardiovascular problems). Hospitalization or surgery may sometimes be required. Risk may be higher with prior medical history or certain medications. Complications can occur on the day of the procedure or in the following days.In case of abnormal symptoms (severe abdominal pain, blood in stool – red or black, chills, fever), contact the treating doctor during office hours (Monday to Friday, 8:00 – 16:30):Endoscopy Clinic, Erasme General Hospital: 02/555.32.92Day Hospital: 02/555.37.77If unreachable, promptly contact your general practitioner, on-call doctor, or emergency department.Between patients, the endoscope is disinfected, and used accessories are sterilized or disposed of (single-use equipment).

How to prepare for a small bowel examination with a video capsule? Video capsule examination of the small bowel has been available for several years, but since July 2008 it has only been reimbursed by the INAMI/RIZIV at 75% (APPROXIMATELY €200 to be paid by the patient).The day before the examination, the patient should:Follow a low-fiber diet, meaning no fruits or vegetables (neither cooked nor raw), and no whole wheat or brown bread. You may eat white bread, white pasta, meat, and dairy products.Drink a preparation: purchase a box of PLENVU from a pharmacy (available without a prescription). Around 5:00 PM, have your evening meal. Around 6:00 PM, start the PLENVU: take dose 1, mixed in ½ liter of water (to be drunk within 30 minutes); then drink another ½ liter of clear liquid of your choice.From midnight: remain fasting.On the day of the examination:Remain fasting from midnight.Go to the 1st floor at the Endoscopy Unit, Route 306.If this is your first visit to ERASME Hospital, please first check in at the consultation reception in the hospital lobby.You will swallow the video capsule with a glass of water; the capsule is the size of a medicine capsule (water + 20 ml Endo-Paractol).A belt with a recording device will be fastened around your waist.You will stay in the rest area for 1 hour after swallowing the capsule to ensure it has reached your duodenum.If the capsule is still in the stomach, you will receive a 10 mg Motilium tablet.You may drink water 1 hour after ingesting the capsule, and then eat and drink normally 3 hours after ingestion.Around 4:30 PM, return to the Endoscopy Unit on the 1st floor (Route 306), where the belt with the recording device will be removed.The video capsule will be eliminated in the stool and does not need to be retrieved. N.B.: Do not undergo an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) on the day of the examination or in the days following.For any information or in case of cancellation, please contact the Endoscopy Clinic by phone at +32 (0)2 555.32.92 or by email at rendez-vous [dot] Endoscopie [dot] erasme [at] hubruxelles [dot] be

What is a liver biopsy? A liver biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of liver tissue is taken to make a precise diagnosis of liver disease. This allows your doctor to treat the problem optimally. The tissue is analyzed under a microscope, and the final result is usually available within a week. Why perform a liver biopsy? Your doctor has suggested this procedure due to symptoms and blood test abnormalities indicating a possible liver problem. Obtaining a liver tissue sample allows laboratory analysis under a microscope to determine the cause and severity of the problem. Measuring liver pressures (porto-systemic gradient) helps assess the severity of the disease and its impact on the veins supplying the liver (portal hypertension), guiding treatment. How to prepare for a liver biopsy? Before the procedure:Inform your doctor about your medical history and any medications you usually take (especially blood-thinning medications: aspirin, Plavix, Sintrom, …). If you have known allergies, inform your doctor, and for women, indicate if you are pregnant.You must fast (no food or drink) for 6 hours before the procedure. How is a liver biopsy performed? The biopsy can be performed using two approaches, depending on the suspected problem and/or current treatment.Percutaneous liver biopsy (through the skin of the right flank)After radiographic or ultrasound localization, local anesthesia is applied to the skin and abdominal wall (between the ribs on the right side). You will be asked to hold your breath. A liver puncture is then performed quickly using a needle, a pressure dressing is applied, and you must lie on your right side for 4 hours. This procedure can be performed under sedation (injection of a sedative if needed) and is organized as a 24-hour hospital stay for monitoring and bed rest. Transjugular liver biopsy (via a neck vein) and suprahepatic catheterizationAfter local anesthesia of the neck skin, an introducer is placed in a neck vein. A catheter is guided through the blood vessels to the liver under radiographic control. Liver pressures are measured, and a puncture is performed to obtain a tissue sample. A pressure dressing is then applied to the neck for 24 hours.This procedure can be performed under sedation (injection of a sedative if needed) and is organized as a 24-hour hospital stay for monitoring and bed rest. Possible complications of a liver biopsy Any medical procedure, even performed with proper expertise and according to current scientific and regulatory standards, carries a risk of complications.Complications of liver biopsy are rare (hematoma, bleeding) and may be influenced by your medical history or ongoing treatment.If you experience abnormal symptoms (abdominal pain, dizziness, fever, jaundice), contact the physician who performed the procedure during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8:00–16:30, at +32 (0)2 555.32.92, Endoscopy Clinic or at +32 (0)2 555.59.95 (medical contact).If you cannot reach them, promptly contact your general practitioner or go to the hospital Emergency Department.

What is a colonoscopy? A colonoscopy is a visual examination of the colon that allows detection of diseases of this organ, helping your doctor determine the cause of your symptoms. Additionally, this procedure can detect early colorectal lesions (polyps) and, if necessary, take tissue samples (biopsies) for microscopic analysis or remove them directly (polypectomy). Why have a colonoscopy? Your doctor has recommended this procedure due to symptoms suggesting a lower digestive tract (colon) problem or for polyp screening. The colonoscopy is performed using an endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera and light at the tip) to detect internal lesions and allow biopsies or removal if needed. This exam helps diagnose conditions such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, bowel disorders, bleeding, anemia, weight loss, or tumor detection. It also allows for polyp removal or coagulation of bleeding lesions. How to prepare for a colonoscopy? Before the procedure:Inform your doctor about your medical history and the medications you normally take.Medications – conditions:If you had a barium enema or barium transit study in the week before the colonoscopy, postpone the procedure and take paraffin oil;If you take iron supplements, stop 10 days before the colonoscopy;If you take Ticlid® or Plavix®, stop 5 days before the colonoscopy on your cardiologist’s advice;If you take blood thinners:Low molecular weight heparin (Fraxiparine®, Clexane®, Innohep®, Fraxodi®): stop 24 hours before the colonoscopy;Sintrom®: stop 5 days before the colonoscopy and switch to heparin as advised by your doctor;Eliquis®, Xarelto®, Pradaxa®: stop 2–3 days before the colonoscopy without replacement, as per your doctor’s instructions.If you have glaucoma, diabetes, prostate problems, or a medication allergy, inform your doctor.The colon must be completely clean for accurate examination and therapeutic procedures. An unclean colon significantly reduces the quality and diagnostic value of the exam. Follow the preparation instructions carefully (low-residue diet prior to the exam and bowel-cleansing drink the day before). Your doctor may adjust the preparation based on your medical record. Please consult the information regarding colonoscopy preparation.You must fast (no food, drink, or smoking) for 6 hours before the procedure. Remove dentures and glasses. A protective cream can be applied to the anal area during preparation to prevent irritation caused by diarrhea. How is a colonoscopy performed? A flexible endoscope is inserted through the anus and can reach the start of the small intestine (“ileoscopy”). CO2 is insufflated to unfold the intestinal walls. You may feel bloated or need to pass gas during and after the exam.Various biopsies may be taken if deemed necessary. If polyps are found, they are removed using forceps or an electric knife (polypectomy).For comfort, sedation or general anesthesia is often offered. The procedure lasts about 30 minutes, but preparation and recovery can take several hours, so plan for a full day. After general anesthesia, 2 hours of monitoring are required. Typically, patients can go home the same day with a companion; driving is prohibited after sedation or anesthesia. For difficult procedures or removal of large polyps, overnight hospital observation may be necessary. Possible complications of a colonoscopy All medical procedures, even when performed safely and professionally, carry a risk of complications.Colonoscopy complications are rare (about 1%) (bowel perforation, bleeding, infections, cardiovascular issues). They may require hospitalization, transfusion, or surgery. Risks can be increased by your medical history or certain medications. Complications can occur during the procedure or in the following days.If you experience abnormal symptoms (severe abdominal pain, bloody stool, chills, fever), contact your treating physician during office hours:Endoscopy Clinic, Erasme General Hospital: +32 (0)2 555.32.92Erasme Day Hospital: +32 (0)2 555.37.77Email: rendez-vous [dot] Endoscopie [dot] erasme [at] hubruxelles [dot] be (rendez-vous[dot]Endoscopie[dot]erasme[at]hubruxelles[dot]be)Bordet Institute: +32 (0)2 541.37.20Email: accueil [dot] endoscopie [at] bordet [dot] be (accueil[dot]endoscopie[at]bordet[dot]be)If unreachable, contact your general practitioner, on-call doctor, or emergency department promptly.Between patients, the endoscope is disinfected and accessories are sterilized or discarded (single-use equipment).

To ensure you are fully informed about this procedure, we invite you to read this information carefully. Your doctor is available to provide any additional details you may require. What is endoscopic cholangio-pancreatography? Endoscopic cholangio-pancreatography (ECP) is an endoscopic procedure used to treat various problems of the bile ducts or pancreas. Why undergo endoscopic cholangio-pancreatography? Your doctor recommended this procedure due to symptoms or findings that require treatment via ECP. This procedure allows for confirming a diagnosis, taking samples (biopsies for microscopic examination), removing stones, draining the bile ducts or pancreatic duct, and placing stents in these organs. How to prepare for endoscopic cholangio-pancreatography? Inform your doctor about your medical history and all medications you regularly take (especially those affecting blood clotting: aspirin, Plavix, Sintrom, Xarelto, Eliquis, Pradaxa, etc.).If you have known allergies, provide details to your doctor. Women must inform their doctor if they are pregnant.You must fast (no food, drink, or smoking) for 6 hours prior to the procedure. Remove any dentures or glasses. How is endoscopic cholangio-pancreatography performed? A duodenoscope (flexible instrument) is inserted through the mouth to examine the upper digestive tract up to the duodenum. Air is insufflated to smooth the walls of the digestive tract. The opening where the bile and pancreatic ducts drain is called the “papilla.” It is intubated using a catheter (small plastic tube through the endoscope) and under X-ray guidance, the required treatment is performed (cutting the sphincter of the bile or pancreatic duct, “sphincterotomy,” stone extraction, stent placement for drainage, etc.). Sedation or general anesthesia is provided for your comfort.Upon waking, you may experience a sore throat, bloating, and gas, which usually subside within 12 hours. A nasal drain may sometimes be necessary for one or two days.The duration of the procedure varies depending on technical difficulty (20 minutes to 2 hours). Post-anesthesia, hospital monitoring is required.Between patients, the endoscope is disinfected and accessories are sterilized or disposed of (single-use materials) according to regulations. Possible complications of endoscopic cholangio-pancreatography All medical procedures, even when performed under expert and safe conditions, carry a risk of complications.Complications of therapeutic ECP are rare (around 1%) (digestive wall perforation, bile duct or gallbladder infection, cardiovascular problems, acute pancreatitis, bleeding). They may require prolonged hospitalization, extended fasting, transfusion, or even surgical intervention. Your medical history or certain medications may increase these risks. Complications may occur on the day of the procedure or in the following days.If you experience abnormal symptoms (abdominal or chest pain, bleeding, chills, fever, jaundice…), contact the treating physician during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, at the Endoscopy Clinic, +32 (0)2 555.32.92.You can also:Call the physician in case of an emergency: +32 (0)2 555.58.39Contact the secretariat to schedule an appointment by phone at +32 (0)2 555.32.92 or by email at Cons [dot] Gastromed [dot] Erasme [at] hubruxelles [dot] beIf you cannot reach the doctor, promptly contact your general practitioner, on-call physician, or the emergency department.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. On this occasion, the H.U.B. is offering a wide range of activities to inform and engage both the public and healthcare professionals in preventing this disease. Read more. Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Why? Because it is often detected too late due to a lack of early symptoms. Raising awareness among the public and healthcare professionals can therefore help achieve earlier diagnoses and save lives!That’s why, during Lung Cancer Awareness Month, H.U.B. experts are mobilising to offer a series of activities designed to help you learn more about your lungs, the diseases that can affect them (such as cancer and COPD), existing treatments and care options, and above all, how to protect your respiratory health.Programme – Lung Cancer Awareness MonthTuesday, November 4, 2025Patient Workshop: Overcoming Barriers to Lung Cancer DiagnosisA space for discussion and reflection on the obstacles to diagnosis and management of lung cancer. This workshop allows patients to share their experiences and better understand the factors influencing their decisions. The goal is to identify concrete ways to provide more personalized and timely support that meets patients’ needs and personal objectives.From November 10 to 14, 2025Exhibition: “Giant Lungs”Visit the Jules Bordet Institute to discover Giant Lungs, a large inflatable structure featuring an interactive educational path that explains how the lungs work, their role, and the impact of pollution, tobacco, and other factors on respiratory health. “Giant Lungs” also offers interactive quizzes, fun breathing assessments, and the opportunity to talk with pulmonology and oncology specialists! In partnership with All.Can Belgium.Wednesday, November 19, 2025Information and Respiratory Health Assessment BoothOn the occasion of World COPD Day, the pulmonology and thoracic oncology teams will welcome you at both the Jules Bordet Institute and Erasme Hospital to assess your lung health and answer your questions. Adventurous patients (whose health allows it) will also have the chance to take part in a cycling challenge alongside H.U.B healthcare staff!Tuesday, November 25, 2025Seminar for general practitionersA session dedicated to the key role of general practitioners in the early detection of lung cancer. This seminar offers an update on warning signs and care pathways. Objective: strengthen clinical vigilance, patient dialogue, and coordination for faster, more effective management.Program and registration details to follow. Program & resgitration (in French)About Lung CancerLung cancer occurs when certain lung cells change and multiply uncontrollably, forming an abnormal mass called a tumor.There are two main types of lung cancer:Non-small cell lung cancer (the most common, about 80% of cases).Small cell lung cancer (rarer but more aggressive).Prevalence in BelgiumLung cancer is among the most common cancers in Belgium.About 9,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.It is the leading cause of cancer death, all types combined.Main risk factor: tobacco, but other causes include exposure to radon, air pollution, passive smoking, and family history.SymptomsPersistent or changing coughCoughing up bloodChest pain or shortness of breathHoarsenessUnintentional weight loss, fatigueRepeated lung infections (bronchitis, pneumonia)Note: Having these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean cancer, but it’s important to see a doctor if they persist. With the support of:

Inspired by international models, this unique approach marks a turning point in our conception of the way mental health is treated. Read more Rethinking psychiatry: network diagnosis For a long time, psychiatry was based on a traditional biomedical model that sought a relationship of cause and effect between life events and psychiatric symptoms — “He is depressed because he has lost his job,” for example. This linear and causal vision is no longer sufficient.The new approach adopted by the H.U.B is based on a network model in which every element in a person’s life — health, family relations, job, administrative procedures, environment — is regarded as part of an interconnected knot. Together these form a living cartography of the patient’s issues.Each member of the care team (psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, etc.) brings his or her own reading to the situation to build a shared and evolving understanding of the situation.“A person cannot be reduced to their psychiatric symptoms or to a single cause. This collaborative model makes it possible to interconnect the medical, psychological and social elements. The patient is no longer “treated” from a single perspective, but supported by a genuine team that thinks and acts together,” explains Professor Pierre Oswald, Head of the H.U.B Department of Psychiatry.A truly collaborative governanceWithin this new dynamic, every professional has a voice. Every week the team defines, discusses and reappraises the patient’s care priorities as part of a horizontal dynamic in which communication and trust take precedence over traditional hierarchical frameworks.The role of nurse takes on a new dimension as the guarantor of trust, motor for the link between disciplines and spokesperson for the patient’s day-to-day reality. ​“This model gives new meaning to our work. We are no longer content to simply act on instructions: we reflect together, we share our views, we learn to listen to contributions from other disciplines. This strengthens team cohesion and, above all, the quality of the care and support for the patient,” explains Anthony Arend, Head Nurse at the H.U.B Department of Psychiatry.More a change of culture than a hospital protocolThe aim of this approach is above all human and organisational. It aims to encourage truly multidisciplinary care that is not focused on the diagnosis but rather on all the dimensions that influence the patient’s life and recovery. This model is also an invitation to rethink connections with the exterior: family network, first line actors and community structures are all included in the hospitalisation reflection so as to prepare a more fluid discharge and more stable return to everyday life.An inspiration for the future of psychiatric careThe H.U.B Department of Psychiatry aims, in the long term, to become a reference for this kind of integrated collaboration and encourage other institutions — psychiatric hospitals as well as general psychiatry services — to draw inspiration from it. ​“It is not a miracle method but rather a necessary development,” stresses Professor Oswald. “We want to open up a space for reflection and cooperation between care staff and give new life to our practices in which the patient is central, not as the recipient of care but as a an individual at the heart of a living network.”

Movember is traditionally the month for male cancers. This year, at the H.U.B, 6 November will be entirely dedicated to prostate cancer.   Movember is traditionally the month for male cancers. This year, at the H.U.B, 6 November will be entirely dedicated to prostate cancer. For patients and visitorsA giant prostate will be on display in the lobby of the Jules Bordet Institute throughout the day, allowing everyone to better understand this often little-known organ, even though prostate cancer is the most common cancer in our country.

What if our liver could tell the story of our daily life? An interview with Dr. Laura Weichselbaum, Gastroenterologist at H.U.B., who has just published an article on the topic in the Journal of Hepatology Reports. Read more. What if our liver holds the secrets of our everyday life? A discreet but vital organ, the liver is today at the heart of a silent health alert. Dr Laura Weichselbaum recently wrote an article published in “JHEP Reports” (Journal of Hepatology Reports) explaining that alcohol-related liver disease affects disproportionally those populations who are socially and economically disadvantaged. A reality that deserves to be examined with humanity, lucidity... and a sense of collective responsibility.   Risk behaviour related to life circumstancesContrary to what is often thought, it is not about enjoying fine wines or occasional drinking on festive occasions. It is rather habits such as binge drinking coupled with a poor diet, a high body mass index and also heavy smoking that combine to form a dangerous cocktail.   Such risk behaviour is often exacerbated by life circumstances marked by economic and social insecurity, limited access to healthcare and an entourage insufficiently informed of the risks.   “Today, many studies show that given the same alcohol consumption the damage to health is three times as high among disadvantaged people, even when other risk factors such as obesity or smoking are taken into account,”   says Dr Weichselbaum Healthcare inequalities The data show that alcohol-related liver disease is over-represented among disadvantaged populations. This is not necessarily attributable to a higher alcohol consumption but rather to a frequent and simultaneous exposure to a number of risk factors. What is more, when a liver disease develops there is often no screening to detect it at an early stage due to insufficient medical follow-up. “Liver  disease is a silent disease. It is our duty as healthcare staff to be aware of the lifestyle of our patients so as to propose an appropriate  care pathway and possibly suggest screening.”  Act early, act better for a more equitable healthThe good news? It is possible to act:By increasing awareness without blame, so that everyone can understand the risks and warning signs. By proposing a more accessible screening, in particular by making GPs and specialists more aware of the risks associated with socio-economic status. By encouraging the populations concerned to get screened and providing more information on the risks associated with alcohol. And if taxation became a lever for prevention?In some countries certain taxes have been levied to limit alcohol consumption.   “Perhaps we should convince our Belgian decision-makers to impose targeted taxes on alcoholic beverages or drinks designed to encourage binge drinking and thereby limit risk consumption while at the same time financing public health actions.”  Together, let’s look after our livers… Awareness, prevention and screening could avoid sometimes incurable liver disease. “I would remind you that while ideally alcohol consumption should be limited to a minimum, it is recommended not to drink more than 2 glasses a day for women and 3 for men.”   For further information or to schedule an appointment for a liver health screening, please contact the Department of Gastroenterology by email at Cons [dot] GastroMed [dot] erasme [at] hubruxelles [dot] be (Cons[dot]GastroMed[dot]erasme[at]hubruxelles[dot]be) or by phone at +32 (0)2 555 35 04.
