Ovidius Clinical Hospital expands gastroenterology team and services
The Department of Gastroenterology and Interventional Gastroenterology at Ovidius Clinical Hospital is broadening its expertise by welcoming Dr. Andrada-Gabriela Dinculescu, a specialist bringing more than 15 years of experience from renowned German medical centers. Dr. Dinculescu has contributed to cancer care in colon and pancreatic diseases, working at St. Marien Hospital Vechta and coordinating the Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine division of MVZ Diepholz / Kliniken Landkreis Diepholz. Her proficiency in modern diagnostic and endoscopic techniques will strengthen the OCH team and enhance patient care in Constanța and the region.
Advanced diagnostic and endoscopic capabilities
Patients now have access to an expanded suite of gastroenterology procedures performed with state-of-the-art equipment. Highlights include high-precision endoscopic ultrasound with ultrasound-guided biopsies (FNA/FNB), 360° panoramic capsule endoscopy with CapsoVision, and advanced hepatic elastography using Siemens Acuson Sequoia Crown with high-resolution ultrasound, including dedicated colon imaging. The department also supports ultrasound- or CT-guided biopsies, enabling accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans before intervention.
Comprehensive endoscopic portfolio
The endoscopic program covers digestive endoscopy and colonoscopy for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, featuring polypectomy, strictures dilations, stent placements, hemostasis with argon plasma, hemoclips, OTS clips, injections, and sclerotherapy. For biliary and pancreatic conditions, the team provides complete ERCP capabilities, including complex stone extraction and biliary or pancreatic stent placement.
Care for chronic digestive diseases
For patients with chronic digestive illnesses, the department offers modern, individualized therapies for a broad spectrum of conditions. This includes inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, microscopic colitis), viral and autoimmune hepatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis. The program also covers proctology with contemporary, minimally invasive treatments for hemorrhoids, fissures, and fistulas, prioritizing patient comfort and rapid recovery.
Additional diagnostics and patient-centered care
The center provides a comprehensive diagnostic toolkit beyond endoscopy, including esophageal manometry and breath tests to evaluate dietary intolerances (lactose, fructose, sorbitol) and screening for Helicobacter pylori. These tests guide personalized treatment plans and help patients manage symptoms effectively in daily life.
