The Manitoba Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy Group

The Manitoba Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy Group was formed in 2022 and work together to provide the highest quality GI related care for the residents of Manitoba, Nunavut and Northwest Ontario. Through specialized advanced therapeutic endoscopy fellowship training, Drs. Moffatt, Coneys and Stone treat a variety of common and rare gastrointestinal diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, bile ducts, gallbladder and colon.

The group is trained in advanced and innovative endoscopic techniques that provide patients within our health system access to the most current and up to date procedural care offered in North America. The Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy group work together between both Health Sciences Center and St. Boniface Hospital to provide timely diagnoses and care for patients with a wide range of GI diseases.

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a procedure that looks at the wall and inside of the upper or lower digestive tract by inserting a flexible camera into the body that includes a built in ultrasound probe.

Gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM)

Gastric Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (G-POEM) is a minimally invasive, endoscopic technique developed to treat medically refractory gastroparesis.

Gastroscopy

An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), sometimes referred to as a gastroscopy or upper endoscopy, is a procedure to visualize the upper digestive tract.

Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)

Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is a minimally invasive, endoscopic technique developed to treat achalasia.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a medical technology that allows the delivery of heat generated by an electrical current in order to destroy (ablate) abnormal tissue.
