Cryotherapy
Medicines and/or surgery can effectively control the symptoms of GERD. However, neither medications nor surgery for GERD can reverse the presence of Barrett’s esophagus or eliminate the risk of cancer. There are some treatments available that can destroy the Barrett’s tissue. These treatments may decrease the development of cancer in some patients and include heat (radiofrequency ablation, thermal ablation with argon plasma coagulation and multipolar coagulation), cold energy (cryotherapy) or the use of light and special chemicals (photodynamic therapy).

Primary Care
We encourage you to make an appointment to see your gastroenterologist or call with your questions during office hours. If you develop a non-digestive disorder while under our care, we will arrange for your Primary Care Physician to take care of that problem. If you do not have your own doctor, we will assist you in finding appropriate medical care.
Emergency Care
Colonoscopy
Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer, yet it is one of the most preventable. Call us today to schedule your Screening Colonoscopy! 402-465-4545
Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Gastroenterology Specialties, P.C. is one of the Midwest’s largest, unaffiliated, private gastroenterology practices. We provide specialty care for digestive disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD), inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and hepatitis.
Diarrhea

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
Hemorrhoids happen when there is increased pressure in the veins of the anus, which causes them to bulge and expand. The most common cause is straining during bowel movements; pregnancy, obesity and childbirth are also risk factors. They may result from constipation, sitting for long periods of time or an anal infection. In some cases they may be caused by other diseases, such as liver cirrhosis.

Gastroenterology
This foundation’s mission is to cure and prevent Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis through research, and improve the quality of life by those affected by these diseases. Penny Morris, RN, is a leader in the Nebraska Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. With her leadership Gastroenterology Specialties forms a team to walk in the fund raising event each spring. Prior to the walk Penny sets into motion bake sales as a fund raiser. Penny participates in the local support group and frequently provides educational presentations to the membership.We are very proud of Penny’s continued commitment to this organization.
Colon Cancer
Minor rectal bleeding refers to the passage of a few drops of bright red (fresh) blood from the rectum, which may appear on the stool, on the toilet paper or in the toilet bowl. This brochure addresses minor rectal bleeding that occurs from time to time. Continuous passage of significantly greater amounts of blood from the rectum or stools that appear black, tarry or maroon in color can be caused by other diseases that will not be discussed here. Call your doctor immediately if these more serious conditions occur. Because there are several possible causes for minor rectal bleeding, a complete evaluation and early diagnosis by your doctor is very important. Rectal bleeding, whether it is minor or not, can be a symptom of colon cancer, a type of cancer that can be cured if detected early.
Endoscopy
Lincoln Endoscopy Center opened July 1998. The Ambulatory Surgery Center has three suites equipped with state-of-the-art Olympus equipment. Patients have individual restrooms and lockers in Pre-op/Post-op bays. Lincoln Endoscopy Center was the first freestanding endoscopy center in the State of Nebraska.

X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Because most people do not have symptoms, diverticulosis is often found incidentally during evaluation for another condition or during a screening exam for polyps. Gastroenterologists can directly visualize the diverticula (more than one pouch, or diverticulum) in the colon during a procedure that uses a small camera attached to a lighted, flexible tube inserted through the rectum. One of these procedures is a sigmoidoscopy, which uses a short tube to examine only the rectum and lower part of the colon. A colonoscopy uses a longer tube to examine the entire colon. Diverticulosis can also be seen by other imaging tests, for example, computed tomography (CT) scan or barium x-rays.
Radiation Therapy
Proctitis refers to inflammation of the lining of the rectum. It can be caused by previous radiation therapy for various cancers, medications, infections or a limited form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It may cause the sensation that you didn’t completely empty your bowels after a bowel movement, and may give you the frequent urge to have a bowel movement. Other symptoms include passing mucus through the rectum, rectal bleeding and pain in the area of the anus and rectum. Treatment for proctitis depends on the cause. Your doctor will discuss the appropriate course of action with you.

Ulcer
Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is an uncommon condition that can affect both men and women, and is associated with long-standing constipation and prolonged straining during bowel movement. In this condition, an area in the rectum (typically in the form of a single ulcer) leads to passing blood and mucus from the rectum. Treatment involves fiber supplements to relieve constipation. For those with significant symptoms, surgery may be required.
