Ovidius Clinical Hospital Expands Gastroenterology in Constanța
Ovidius Clinical Hospital (OCH) has announced a strategic expansion of its Department of Gastroenterology and Interventional Gastroenterology in Constanța, welcoming Dr. Andrada-Gabriela Dinculescu to the team. A specialist with more than 15 years of experience in reference centers across Germany, Dr. Dinculescu brings a proven track record in cancer care of the colon and pancreas, and in coordinating gastroenterology and internal medicine services at leading medical facilities. Her leadership strengthens OCH’s commitment to delivering precise, evidence-based care for digestive diseases in southeastern Romania.
Advanced Technology Enables Comprehensive Diagnostics and Treatments
The expanded portfolio at OCH leverages state-of-the-art imaging and intervention platforms, including high-precision endoscopy with biopsies guided by endoscopic ultrasound (FNA/FNB), panoramic 360° capsule endoscopy (CapsoVision), and advanced hepatic elastography using Siemens Acuson Sequoia Crown. High-resolution ultrasound extends to colonic evaluation as well, with capabilities for ultrasound- or CT-guided biopsies when needed. This combination of technologies supports accurate diagnosis and targeted therapies across a broad spectrum of digestive conditions.
Endoscopic capabilities cover both diagnostic and therapeutic needs: digestive endoscopies and colonoscopies with polypectomy, dilations, and stent placements; hemostasis using argon plasma coagulation (APC), hemoclips, and OTS clips; injections and sclerotherapy for various lesions. In biliary and pancreatic disease, the department is fully equipped for ERCP, including complex stone extraction and stent placement, enabling minimally invasive solutions with swift recovery for patients.
Extensive Services for Chronic Digestive Diseases
Dr. Dinculescu’s team provides tailored management for chronic digestive diseases, from inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and microscopic colitis) to viral and autoimmune hepatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis. The department also offers proctology services with modern, minimally invasive approaches to hemorrhoids, fissures, and fistulas, prioritizing patient comfort and functional outcomes.
Diagnostics, Functional Tests, and Microbiological Screening
Beyond endoscopy, the clinic provides comprehensive diagnostic tests such as esophageal manometry and breath tests to identify lactose, fructose, and sorbitol intolerances, as well as screening for Helicobacter pylori infection. This broad diagnostic portfolio supports precise treatment plans and ongoing disease monitoring, helping patients regain digestive health more efficiently.
Patient-centered Care in a Modern Private Hospital
“We focus on delivering modern and precise medical solutions for digestive diseases by combining state-of-the-art technology with the experience of our medical team,” say representatives of Ovidius Clinical Hospital. As the largest and most modern private hospital in Southeast Romania, OCH offers integrated services, rapid diagnostics, and multidisciplinary treatment. Patients can access consultations and treatments at both Spitalul OCH and Policlinica OCH Constanța, ensuring convenient, comprehensive care in a patient-friendly setting.
