Diagnostic & Therapeutic Endoscopy Services

A diagnostic endoscopy is an examination to look at digestive system using a long, flexible tube called endoscope. The endoscope has a camera attached to it and it is passed through the mouth, down the esophagus and into the stomach.The pictures are taken during the procedure.

Our state-of-the-art endoscopy services enable us to detect the diseases at an early stage as well as offer the best treatment and care.Our gastroenterologists, along with dedicated nurses bring the best in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy using high-definition endoscopies that are even capable of narrow bend imaging.

• Upper Endoscopy (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy - EGD): This procedure allows visualization of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It aids in diagnosing conditions such as ulcers, inflammation, and tumors.

• Colonoscopy: A vital tool for colorectal cancer screening and early detection, colonoscopy examines the colon and rectum for abnormalities like polyps, inflammation, or cancer.

• Capsule Endoscopy: Utilizing a swallowed capsule with a tiny camera, this minimally invasive procedure visualizes the small intestine. It's particularly effective for diagnosing conditions like Crohn's disease and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.

• Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS): Combining endoscopy with ultrasound imaging, EUS provides detailed images of the digestive tract and adjacent structures. It's valuable for diagnosing pancreatic cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, and staging gastrointestinal cancers.

• SpyGlass Cholangiopancreatography: An advanced endoscopic procedure offering detailed visualization of the bile ducts and pancreatic duct, aiding in diagnosing and treating conditions such as bile duct stones, strictures, and tumors.

• High-definition manometry is done to assess the pressure activity within the esophagus and sphincters and to assess diseases like achalasia.We have a fully equipped motility study lab for routine esophageal & anorectal manometry

• ERCP or Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography is an endoscopic procedure to diagnose and treat the bile duct (tubes which carry bile from liver to gall bladder) for any stones,tumors, etc.

• 24 x 7 pH monitoring is performed to detect problems in the upper digestive tract like gastroesophageal reflex disease and it is done by passing by a fine tube down through to reach the esophagus and a tiny meter is attached to calculate the amount of acid there.

• 24 x 7 GI bleed care is provided by expert doctors and trained nursing team. They deliver comprehensive care with round-the-clock endoscopic services to treat the patients’ GI bleeding.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM):

We offer Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM), an innovative procedure for treating achalasia and other esophageal motility disorders. POEM provides a highly effective alternative to traditional surgical approaches, ensuring faster recovery times and reduced risks.

Therapeutic Procedures:

• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): A specialized procedure for diagnosing and treating conditions of the bile ducts and pancreas, including the removal of gallstones and placement of stents to relieve obstructions.

• Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) and Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD): Advanced techniques used to remove abnormal or precancerous tissue from the digestive tract, particularly beneficial for early-stage gastrointestinal cancers.

• Endoscopic Hemostasis: Using specialized instruments to stop bleeding within the digestive tract, commonly employed to treat bleeding ulcers, vascular malformations, or bleeding tumors.

• Endoscopic Stenting: Placing stents endoscopically to relieve obstructions or strictures within the digestive tract, often performed to alleviate blockages in the esophagus, bile ducts, or colon caused by tumors or other conditions.
