Ulcerative colitis Treatment in German Medical Institute (GMI)
About the clinic
Ulcerative colitis care at German Medical Institute (GMI) in Limassol, Cyprus, includes diagnostic endoscopy, outpatient management and biologic infusions. Dr. Evangelos Ionas, an inflammatory bowel disease specialist and ECCO member, completed IBD intensive training in 2023.
Ulcerative colitis diagnostics
GMI brings gastroenterology, radiology and histopathology services together at the clinic. Diagnostic and monitoring options include:
- Outpatient gastroenterology consultation with clinical assessment.
- High-definition colonoscopy for checking colitis activity and surveillance. CO2 insufflation may reduce post-procedure discomfort, and propofol is used for sedation.
- Gastroscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for upper digestive tract examination and imaging.
- Small bowel capsule endoscopy to assess the small bowel when disease may extend beyond the colon.
- Endoscopic biopsy or polypectomy with histopathology to help confirm diagnosis and monitor disease activity.
- CT and MRI imaging, blood tests and endoscopy image reports.
Medical treatment and follow-up
- Biologic therapy infusion is given intravenously in a dedicated day-care unit, without a full hospital admission.
- Long-term outpatient management includes clinic visits, examination, diagnosis, medication prescriptions and scheduled follow-up. A clinical nutritionist and the GMI paramedical team can support care.
The colonoscopy uses an Olympus CF-HQ1100DL scope with NBI, RDI and TXI imaging. Patients typically recover within minutes and leave shortly after the procedure. Biopsy or polypectomy histopathology results are available in about 10–12 days, with written recommendations.
Dr. Ionas has endoscopy training in EMR, polypectomy, hemostasis and clipping. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss ulcerative colitis care at GMI.
