Gastroenterologists for Colonoscopy in Attica

About the specialist

Gastroenterologist – Hepatologist M.D.

I am Alexandros Spyrantis, Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist M.D., with a private practice in Ilioupoli, Athens. I am also a Gastroenterologist Associate at the 1st Department of Gastroenterology and Interventional Endoscopy at IASO General Clinic.

I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Latvia in Riga and subsequently completed my specialist training in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Greece. My specialist training included the Hepato-Gastroenterology Department of G.O.N.K. “Agioi Anargyroi”, as well as clinical training at the Gastroenterology Department of General Hospital of Nikaia “Agios Panteleimon”. Prior to specialising in Gastroenterology, I trained in Internal Medicine, gaining broad clinical experience in the overall assessment and management of patients.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a particular area of professional interest. I have completed the Hellenic Gastroenterology Society’s Endoscopy School and have participated in hands-on training in invasive endoscopic techniques. I also regularly participate in scientific conferences and educational programmes in Greece and abroad, with a focus on Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Endoscopy.

In my clinical practice, I assess and manage a wide range of gastrointestinal and liver conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease, indigestion, gastritis, Helicobacter pylori infection, peptic ulcer disease, abdominal pain, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diarrhoea and changes in bowel habits. I also evaluate gastrointestinal bleeding, colorectal polyps, diverticular disease and inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as liver and biliary disorders.

I place particular emphasis on careful history-taking and a structured diagnostic approach. I believe that patients should clearly understand what may be causing their symptoms, why a particular investigation is recommended and what the next steps should be.

For this reason, I aim to give each patient sufficient time to discuss their symptoms, concerns and expectations. I explain the diagnosis and available treatment options in clear and understandable terms, while tailoring the medical approach to each individual patient.

My approach combines current medical knowledge with personalised care. I believe that effective medical care should take into account not only the clinical findings and scientific evidence, but also the individual needs and circumstances of each patient.

Alongside my clinical work, I maintain an active interest in medical research and continuing professional education. I have participated in scientific studies, presentations and posters at Greek and international conferences, with topics including inflammatory bowel disease, hepatology, gastrointestinal endoscopy and a range of gastrointestinal conditions.

My aim is to provide patients with medical care that combines scientific expertise, careful diagnostic assessment, up-to-date knowledge and clear, compassionate communication.

For me, good medical care does not end with establishing a diagnosis. It also means providing clear information, an appropriate management plan and building a relationship of trust between doctor and patient.

Ο Αθανασόπουλος Νικόλαος είναι Γαστρεντερολόγος - Ηπατολόγος - Επεμβατικός Ενδοσκόπος και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό ιατρείο στον Πειραιά. Σπούδασε στην Ιατρική Σχολή του Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών. Πραγματοποίησε την ειδικότητα της Γαστρεντερολογίας στο Γενικό Κρατικό Νοσοκομείο Νίκαιας. Έχει πλήρη εξειδίκευση και μετεκπαίδευση σε όλες σχεδόν τις πτυχές της ειδικότητας. Έχει μετεκπαιδευτεί στον τομέα της επεμβατικής ενδοσκόπησης στο Ευρωπαϊκό Ενδοσκοπικό Εκπαιδευτικό Κέντρο του Πανεπιστημιακού Νοσοκομείου της Ρώμης "Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore" και στο περίφημο Ενδοσκοπικό Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης των Βρυξελλών (πολυπεκτομές, αντιμετώπιση οξείας αιμορραγίας ανωτέρου και κατωτέρου πεπτικού, αντιμετώπιση περιπτώσεων ενσφήνωσης βλωμού, τοποθέτηση ενδοσκοπικής γαστροστομίας, οισοφαγικών και εντερικών stent, ERCP). Επίσης, διαθέτει σημαντική κλινική εμπειρία στις κινητικές παθήσεις του γαστρεντερικού συστήματος, καθώς ο ιατρός ήταν αναπόσπαστο μέλος του Εργαστηρίου Κινητικών Διαταραχών της Γαστρεντερολογικής Κλινικής του Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών. Μακρόχρονη και βαθιά είναι η εμπειρία και η γνώση που έχει αποκτηθεί στην Ιδιοπαθή Φλεγμονώδη Εντερική Νόσο, καθώς είχε την τύχη να θητεύσει κατά τα χρόνια της ειδίκευσής του στο τριτοβάθμιο ειδικό κέντρο για φλεγμονώδη νοσήματα του Γενικού Νοσοκομείου Νίκαιας, ένα από τα ελάχιστα κέντρα αναφοράς ΙΦΕΝ (ελκώδης κολίτιδα και νόσος Crohn) στη χώρα μας. Ο ιατρός έχει επίσης μετεκπαιδευθεί στην κλινική ηπατολογία, έχοντας παρακολουθήσει τις εργασίες του 4ου Σχολείου Κλινικής Ηπατολογίας κατά το ακαδημαϊκό έτος 2010 - 2011. Η συνεχής και άσβεστη επιστημονική και ερευνητική του δίψα αποδεικνύεται από το πλήθος δημοσιευμένων εργασιών, ανακοινώσεων, διαλέξεων, ομιλιών σε ελληνικά και ξένα περιοδικά και συνέδρια, καθώς και από τη συμμετοχή σε διεθνείς πολυκεντρικές μελέτες για την αναζήτηση και έρευνα νέων φαρμακευτικών θεραπειών που αφορούν κυρίως στις νόσους της ελκώδους κολίτιδας, νόσου Crohn και ηπατίτιδας B και C. Το μεγαλύτερο όμως παράσημο στην ως τώρα ζωή και καριέρα του θεωρεί ότι είναι η ίδρυση και συμμετοχή σε μια ανθρωπιστική οργάνωση, που ονομάζεται "ΔΩΣΕ ΕΛΠΙΔΑ", που ως στόχο έχει την δωρεάν και ανιδιοτελή παροχή βοήθειας σε χρόνιους πάσχοντες από νεοπλασματικά και μη νοσήματα. Αποτελεί ιδρυτικό στέλεχος και είναι αντιπρόεδρος του οργανισμού από το 2010.

Ενδοσκοπικό Τμήμα

Οι ενδοσκοπήσεις, (διαγνωστικές ή επεμβατικές), διενεργούνται με καταστολή υπό συνεχές monitoring όπως επιβάλλουν οι διεθνείς κατευθυντήριες οδηγίες και τα πρωτόκολλα καταστολής, καθώς το ιατρείο φέρει όλον τον εξοπλισμό που απαιτείται για την ασφάλεια του ασθενούς.

Το ιατρείο φέρει σύγχρονο ενδοσκοπικό εξοπλισμό με ψηφιακό επεξεργαστή εικόνας που επιτρέπει την καταγραφή φωτογραφιών κατά τη διάρκεια της ενδοσκόπησης.

Επίσης η παρουσία χειρουργικής διαθερμίας επιτρέπει την διενέργεια πολυποδεκτομών κατά τη διάρκεια της ενδοσκόπησης χωρίς να χρειάζεται ο ασθενής να υποβληθεί σε επαναληπτική εξέταση.

Ενδοσκόπηση ανωτέρου πεπτικού σωλήνα (γαστροσκόπηση)

Η διαδικασία είναι αναίμακτη, ανώδυνη και αξιόπιστη, καθώς πραγματοποιείται μέσω της ανάλυσης της αναπνοής του ασθενούς μετά την πρόσληψη ειδικού υγρού υποστρώματος. Με το Gastrolyzer H2, μπορούμε να εντοπίσουμε τις αιτίες πίσω από τα πιο συνηθισμένα γαστρεντερολογικά προβλήματα, όπως φούσκωμα, τυμπανισμός, μετεωρισμός και δυσπεψία. Αυτό επιτρέπει την αποφυγή των εμπειρικών θεραπειών και την εφαρμογή στοχευμένων και αιτιολογικών λύσεων, βελτιώνοντας την ποιότητα ζωής των ασθενών και μειώνοντας την ταλαιπωρία τους.
