Send us Fan MailThis episode features Dr. Mohammed Qadeer, who is an Interventional Gastroenterologist and the Medical Director of Endoluminal Surgery at Advocate Aurora Medical center in Kenosha, WI.  Dr. Qadeer recently achieved a very rare milestone in his specialty.  He has performed more than 1,100 Third Space Endoscopy (TSE) procedures at Aurora Medical center.  He discusses how he ended up specializing in TSE in a community hospital setting, discusses the role of TSE/ indications and the impact TSE has made in his practice for his patients!  He also discusses the rise of colon cancer rates in the younger population, the importance of getting your screening colonoscopy done and why it is the gold standard! Please join me on this very informative podcast with Dr. Qadeer. What is Third Space Endoscopy:Third space endoscopy is an advanced, minimally invasive technique where gastroenterologists perform complex procedures inside the wall of the digestive tract. Instead of making external surgical incisions, doctors access the targeted site by tunneling through the submucosal layer (the "third space") between the organ's inner lining and its outer muscle. How the Technique WorksThe Entry: The doctor inserts an endoscope through the mouth or anus into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.The Tunneling: A tiny incision is made in the inner mucosal lining, and a specialized tool is used to create a safe tunnel inside the wall of the organ.The Procedure: Through this tunnel, doctors can cut tight muscles, remove tumors, or excise early-stage cancers.The Closure: Once the procedure is finished, the entry incision is closed with medical clips. If you would like to message Dr. Qadeer please see contact info below:email: [email protected]/in/mohammed-abdul-qadeer-ab802695If you would like to reach out to me, feel free to email me at: [email protected] the show
