What is endometriosis? The endometrium is a tissue that lines the cavity of the uterus that potentially houses an embryo and that is evacuated during menstruation. It sometimes happens that tissue resembling the endometrium grows outside the cavity of the uterus, into the ovaries,  the rectovaginal space, bladder or intestines, etc. This is the condition known as endometriosis.    While some patients show no symptoms, most experience pain, sometimes very severe pain, in the area of the (lower) abdomen or back, either during or between periods, during sexual relations or when urinating etc. Endometriosis can be the source of fertility problems, chronic fatigue, addiction to painkillers, absenteeism from school or work, etc. It can also cause major psychological stress, especially when patients consult and suffer discomfort for several years without being correctly diagnosed and treated.     Treatment The H.U.B Endometriosis Clinic offers global and multidisciplinary care.   The first consultation: You and the gynaecologist first note your symptoms, your antecedents and any medication you may be taking (including contraceptives). The doctor then undertakes a meticulous gynaecological medical examination, followed by an endovaginal ultrasound.   Additional examinations: The gynaecologist can also prescribe a pelvic MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan. However, neither the MRI nor the endovaginal ultrasound always show everything. In some cases a laparoscopy is needed. This surgical intervention, used for both diagnosis and treatment, involves inserting a tiny camera and surgical instruments through an incision in the abdomen of just 1 cm. Identified endometriosis lesions   are removed or destroyed. Medical treatment is generally the first treatment option. The menstrual cycle is rested using a hormonal contraceptive, chosen according to your profile and preferences.   Surgical treatment involves “burning” or removing the endometriosis lesions by means of a conventional (laparoscopy) or robotic (see Focus) technique that is minimally invasive.   Other treatment: The clinic also proposes consultations in psychology and sexology to help you manage the potential impact of the endometriosis on your mental health and/or intimacy.   Shiatsu (therapeutic massage technique) sessions are also proposed.    The Endometriosis Clinic collaborates with  the Fertility Clinic, the Medical Imaging Department and H.U.B’s Multidisciplinary Centre for Pain Evaluation and Treatment.  Advice Certain lifestyle changes can improve endometriosis symptoms. It is therefore recommended to:      take regular exercise ; adopt an anti-inflammatory diet that limits foods likely to increase endometriosis pain (typically fermented foods);   make an intelligent use of painkillers, in appropriate doses at the right time.    Focus The H.U.B Endometriosis Clinic has a Da Vinci® robot with a dual console. This makes it possible not only to reach lesions where access is difficult but also to operate with four hands. Depending on the location of the endometriosis lesions, the gynaecologist operates with the urologist or specialist in digestive surgery.  Research The H.U.B Endometriosis Clinic participates in clinic trials  to find new treatment and in fundamental research projects to arrive at a better understanding of the causes  – in particular environmental – of the disease.    Our specialists Gynaecology - ObstetricsEndometriosis specialists : M Fastrez, K Crener, L Imperiale, C Vanneste, C Soria, M ZingarelliImaging specialists : R Lejeune, G GarofaloFertility specialists : I Demeestere, A Delbaere, C HoubaUrology : T QuackelsMedical imaging : A Massez, M SyNuclear medicine : I VierasuAnatomopathology : JC NoëlAlgology : N Van Cutsem, T TunaParamedicalAdministrative coordination : S HecqPsychologist : A CailleauxSexotherapist : G Van BraekelPhysiotherapist : R GarnirShiatsu practitioner : P HaassNurses :Surgical area : F DelsaHospitalisation : A DosseConsultation : E Chasseriaud, P GosselinResearch nurse : F Henry Associated services

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.If you cannot reach the doctor, promptly contact your general practitioner, on-call physician, or the emergency department.

Obesity is a chronic disease that can lead to numerous metabolic and cardiovascular complications. When conventional approaches such as diet and physical activity are not sufficient, endoscopic solutions may be considered. These minimally invasive techniques allow effective management while limiting the risks associated with bariatric surgery. Obesity: what medical management at H.U.B.? The Gastroenterology Department of Erasmus Hospital offers a multidisciplinary management of obesity with innovative endoscopic options. Among these, the placement of a gastric balloon helps reduce the feeling of hunger and promotes weight loss. Another alternative is endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, which reduces the size of the stomach without major surgical intervention.Our teams combine these techniques with personalized nutritional and behavioral follow-up in order to optimize results. Close collaboration between gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, dietitians and psychologists ensures a comprehensive approach tailored to each patient.It is essential to adopt a healthy lifestyle before and after an endoscopic procedure for obesity. A balanced diet rich in fiber and protein, as well as regular physical activity, are recommended to maximize results. Endoscopic management is combined with multidisciplinary appointments with the gastroenterologist, the dietitian and the psychologist in order to reinforce lifestyle changes. Discover the H.U.B.

Digestive Tract and Adjacent Organ Diseases: When Is an Endoscopic Ultrasound Needed? What is an endoscopic ultrasound? Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a specialized procedure that combines endoscopy and ultrasound to precisely examine the digestive tract and certain nearby organs, such as the pancreas, bile ducts, and lymph nodes.EUS is recommended when imaging tests (CT scan, MRI, ultrasound) reveal an abnormality that requires further investigation, particularly for:Evaluation of a digestive tract lesion (esophagus, stomach, rectum), especially for tumor staging.Suspicious masses in the pancreas, bile ducts, or adrenal glands.Pancreatic cysts that require specialized monitoring.Abnormal lymph nodes (adenopathies), which may need biopsy.In addition to diagnosis, endoscopic ultrasound allows for minimally invasive treatments, such as radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA), for certain types of tumors.This procedure is always performed under medical prescription. Endoscopic Ultrasound: Care at the H.U.B Endoscopy Clinic At the Endoscopy Clinic, we provide specialized care for patients requiring diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound.Depending on the indication, several procedures may be performed, including:Targeted biopsies (EUS-FNA/B) to analyze digestive, pancreatic, biliary, or lymph node lesions in detail.Radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA), a minimally invasive technique that serves as an alternative and/or complement to treatment for certain tumors. This innovative procedure destroys tumors in situ using thermo-ablation with echo-guided needles connected to a generator (radiofrequency principle). It primarily targets well-selected pancreatic tumors after radiological and pathological evaluation. Initially, we focus on neuroendocrine tumors, cystic tumors, and selected metastases (kidney, breast, and skin cancers). Later, it may be applied to unresectable tumors accessible via EUS.Multidisciplinary management is essential in digestive tract and adjacent organ diseases, particularly pancreatic tumors. At Erasme Hospital, cases are reviewed in multidisciplinary meetings with gastroenterologists, radiologists, oncologists, and surgeons to ensure the best therapeutic strategy for each patient.Furthermore, implementing EUS-RFA aims to expand therapeutic options and strengthen our expertise and visibility within the hospital network and the future ULB Cancer Center. Your doctor recommended an endoscopic ultrasound? If your doctor has recommended an EUS, it is usually because an imaging test revealed an abnormality requiring a more detailed evaluation.If this procedure has been prescribed, it is important to carefully follow the instructions provided before the exam.You can contact the H.U.B Endoscopy Clinic by phone at +32 (0)2.555.35.04 or by email via the link below. Contact the H.U.B Endoscopy Clinic Your Reference Center for Endoscopic Ultrasound Erasmus Hospital is a reference center for EUS, incorporating the latest innovations in diagnostics and minimally invasive treatments.We participate in international studies on diagnostic and therapeutic EUS to improve the technique’s efficacy and safety.Thanks to these advances, we provide more precise patient care, reduce the need for more invasive surgical procedures, and enhance treatment effectiveness.

It enables examination of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, and colon. Image Image Image The Multiple Uses of Endoscopy It is possible to take tissue samples (biopsies), remove polyps or superficial tumors, treat bleeding, dilate narrowings (strictures), insert stents, treat conditions such as achalasia or diverticula, eradicate precancerous lesions (e.g., Barrett’s esophagus), and treat or prevent complications of cirrhosis (treatment of varices). Some procedures are combined with radiology or ultrasound, making it possible to see beyond the digestive tract and to treat biliary and pancreatic diseases. To Detect or Treat the Problem The H.U.B Endoscopy Clinic brings together all disciplines related to gastroenterology, hepatology, pancreatology, and digestive oncology, and works in close collaboration with the digestive surgery department. Its mission is to offer each patient the best minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic option according to their individual condition. Our Healthcare Services The Endoscopy Clinic offers patients a wide range of examinations at Erasmus Hospital (main site and day hospital) as well as at the Jules Bordet Institute.Depending on the type of examination, sedation or even anesthesia may be offered.

How is an endoscopy performed? Our explanatory sheets for the different procedures are available in the Resources and Useful Links section. 2. Do I need sedation or anesthesia for my endoscopy? Some procedures require sedation or anesthesia depending on the type of intervention, to ensure your comfort, avoid potential pain, or allow more complex procedures. It is best to discuss this with your doctor or schedule a consultation to determine the best option for you (tel: +32 (0)2 555.35.04). 3. How can I get the results of the examination? Please provide the secretariat with the contact details of your treating or referring physician so a copy of the report can be sent to them. A copy is also accessible via the health network. The physician performing your endoscopy will give you immediate information right after the procedure. If biopsies are taken, a follow-up consultation may be offered to review the results. 4. How can I make an appointment for an endoscopy? Your treating physician can write a request for the examination, which allows you to schedule an appointment directly through the secretariat (without anesthesia, Erasmus Hospital +32 (0)2 555.32.92; with anesthesia at the day hospital, Erasmus/Bordet +32 (0)2 555.85.85; without anesthesia at Bordet +32 (0)2 541.37.20). You can also discuss the procedure in consultation with a gastroenterologist beforehand (+32 (0)2 555.35.04). 5. How should I prepare for an endoscopy? For a colonoscopy, the inside of the colon must be clean. Details of colon preparation are available in the Resources and Useful Links section. 6. I take anticoagulants: should I stop them before the endoscopy? The rules for stopping anticoagulants depend on why you take them and the type of endoscopic procedure planned. Discuss this with your doctor. Some information is available in the Resources and Useful Links section. 7. Can I drive after my endoscopy? If sedation or anesthesia is used, you are not allowed to drive afterwards. Please arrange for someone to accompany you home. 8. For a procedure under anesthesia, do I need to see an anesthesiologist? If your endoscopy is scheduled under anesthesia, a prior anesthesia consultation will be proposed. If you have had anesthesia in the past 6 months without new medical issues, a new consultation is not required. Discuss this with your doctor and make sure your previous anesthesia record is available. 9. During the procedure, can I see the inside of my digestive tract? Photos are taken during the endoscopy. At your follow-up gastroenterology consultation, you can request to see these photos and receive explanations from the doctor. 10. How often should I repeat endoscopic exams? The recommended intervals depend on the health issue for which the examination was done. For example, there is usually no reason to repeat a gastroscopy for mild esophagitis for several years. For follow-up after removal of colonic polyps, intervals are also well standardized. Discuss your personal follow-up schedule with your gastroenterologist. Health Issues Managed by the Endoscopy Clinic Colorectal cancer Slow digestion Bile duct diseases (strictures, stones, and leaks) Esophageal dysplasia

To ensure that you are clearly informed about this procedure, we invite you to read this information carefully. Your doctor is available to provide any additional explanations you may require. 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).

In November 2024, this specialty will be highlighted during a dedicated event, underscoring the importance and advancements of epilepsy neurosurgery in Belgium. Healthcare professionals will have the opportunity to gather, share their knowledge, and explore new perspectives offered by this discipline. Epilepsy neurosurgery in Belgium: a leading specializationIn Belgium, neurosurgery, and more specifically epilepsy neurosurgery, represents a medical specialty that is both advanced and rare. Essential for the treatment of patients with epilepsy who are refractory to traditional medication treatments, this discipline is distinguished by its cutting-edge techniques and promising results.State-of-the-art equipment at the H.U.B.The Brussel University Hospital (H.U.B.) stands out for its use of advanced technologies for the treatment of epilepsy, notably SEEG (stereo-electroencephalography) and, soon, LITT (laser interstitial thermotherapy). The H.U.B. boasts some of the leading specialists who utilize this advanced equipment, crucial for pediatric patients resistant to traditional pharmaceutical treatments.SEEG: precision and effectivenessSEEG provides a detailed mapping of brain activity, accurately pinpointing epileptogenic zones. With this technique, neurosurgeons can identify the areas responsible for epileptic seizures with great precision, facilitating more targeted and effective interventions.LITT: minimally invasive innovationSoon, the H.U.B. will integrate LITT into its treatment protocols. This technique offers a minimally invasive solution for treating the epileptogenic zones identified by SEEG, using a laser to destroy the brain tissue responsible for seizures. LITT serves as an effective alternative to traditional open surgeries when the functional or cognitive risk is too high. It provides a curative solution for patients who were previously deemed inoperable.An international symposium in November 2024On November 8, 2024, the H.U.B. will host an international symposium dedicated to epilepsy neurosurgery. This event will bring together world-renowned experts to discuss the latest advancements and innovative perspectives in this highly specialized field.
