Medical Gastroenterology & Hepatology Services
Clinical & Medical Management
- General GI Care: Diagnosis and management of functional and inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders, including acid reflux (GERD), peptic ulcers, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and Crohn’s disease.
- Hepatology (Liver Care): Medical treatment and management of acute and chronic liver diseases, including hepatitis, fatty liver, and cirrhosis.
- Pancreatic & Biliary Care: Medical management of diseases affecting the pancreas (e.g., pancreatitis) and biliary system.
- Nutritional Assessment & Counseling: Diet-based management and tailored nutritional support for patients recovering from GI disorders or surgeries.
Diagnostic Endoscopy & Imaging
- Gastroscopy (Upper GI Endoscopy): Endoscopic examination of the upper digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, and duodenum) to detect ulcers, inflammation, or tumors.
- Colonoscopy: Endoscopic examination of the large intestine to screen for, detect, and evaluate abnormalities.
- Capsule Endoscopy: A swallowable camera capsule that continuously captures images to evaluate the small intestine, which is difficult to reach with standard endoscopes.
- Double Balloon Enteroscopy: An advanced endoscopic technique used to deeply examine and treat conditions within the small intestine.
- Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS): Combines endoscopy with ultrasound technology to obtain highly detailed images of the digestive tract, pancreas, and liver.
- ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): A specialized technique combining endoscopy and fluoroscopy (X-ray) to diagnose disorders of the bile and pancreatic ducts.
Advanced & Therapeutic Endoscopy
- Therapeutic Colonoscopy: Interventional procedures performed during a colonoscopy, such as removing polyps (polypectomy) or stopping intestinal bleeding.
- Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD): An advanced technique to precisely peel away and remove early-stage tumors from the digestive tract wall without open surgery.
- Endoscopic Full Thickness Resection (EFTR): An endoscopic procedure to remove deep lesions that involve the entire thickness of the gastrointestinal wall.
- Submucosal Tunnelling Endoscopic Resection (STER): Creating a tunnel within the GI wall to safely remove submucosal tumors while preserving the outer organ layers.
- Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM): A minimally invasive endoscopic treatment for swallowing disorders (like achalasia) performed by carefully cutting esophageal muscle fibers.
- GERD Endotherapy: Minimally invasive, endoscopically guided treatments designed to tighten the lower esophageal sphincter and treat acid reflux without traditional surgery.
- Esophageal & GI Stenting: The endoscopic placement of hollow tubes (stents) to keep the esophagus or other parts of the GI tract open in cases of severe strictures or cancer blockages.
- Therapeutic EUS: Using Endoscopic Ultrasound to guide interventions such as draining pancreatic cysts, obtaining targeted biopsies, and delivering localized tumor treatments.
Functional & Specialized Diagnostics
- Manometry & pH-metry: Tests that measure muscle pressure, coordination, and acid levels in the esophagus or rectum to diagnose motility and reflux disorders.
- Hydrogen Breath Testing: A non-invasive test used to detect digestive issues such as lactose intolerance or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).
- FibroScan: A specialized, non-invasive ultrasound technology used to measure liver stiffness and assess the degree of liver scarring (fibrosis).
Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery
- Esophageal & Gastric Surgeries: Surgical treatments for the esophagus and stomach, addressing conditions such as severe hiatal hernias, intractable ulcers, and benign tumors.
- Treatment for GI Bleeding: Surgical intervention to locate and stop severe, life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding that cannot be managed endoscopically.
Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary (HPB) Surgery
- Gallbladder Surgery (Cholecystectomy): The surgical removal of the gallbladder, typically performed laparoscopically, to treat gallstones or severe inflammation.
- Pancreatic & Liver Surgeries: Highly specialized open or keyhole (laparoscopic) surgeries to treat cysts, benign lesions, and complex diseases of the liver and pancreas.
- Biliary Tract Surgery: Surgical interventions to repair bile duct injuries, clear complex blockages, or reconstruct the biliary drainage system.
- Liver Transplant: The complex surgical replacement of a severely diseased or failing liver with a healthy whole or partial liver from a donor.
Colorectal & Hernia Surgery
- Colorectal Surgery: Surgical treatment of the colon, rectum, and anus for inflammatory bowel diseases, diverticulitis, and structural abnormalities.
- Laparoscopic & Open Hernia Repair: Surgical repair of abdominal wall hernias (including advanced minimally invasive techniques like eTEP) to push protruding tissue back into place and reinforce the abdominal wall.
Proctology Services
- Minimally Invasive Proctology: Tailored treatments for anorectal conditions (hemorrhoids, fistulas, fissures) aimed at early recovery and high patient comfort. Procedures utilize advanced technologies including:
- LASER Technology & Infrared Coagulators (for precise tissue treatment)
- Doppler-Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation (to safely restrict blood flow to hemorrhoids)
- Video Proctoscopes (for enhanced visualization)
- Anal Manometry (to assess sphincter function)
Bariatric (Weight-Loss) Surgery
Comprehensive Bariatric Surgery: Surgical procedures that alter the digestive system (such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) to restrict food intake or absorption, facilitating significant weight loss and resolving metabolic conditions.
Gastrointestinal & Hepatopancreatic Oncology (Cancer Surgery)
- Colorectal Cancer Surgery: The precise surgical removal of malignant tumors within the colon or rectum, often followed by bowel reconstruction.
- Robotic-Assisted Cancer Surgery: Utilizing advanced robotic systems to perform highly precise, minimally invasive resections for colon, rectal, and other GI cancers, resulting in faster recovery.
- Comprehensive GI Cancer Care: Multidisciplinary surgical management (frequently utilizing laparoscopic approaches) for cancers of the stomach, liver, pancreas, and biliary tract to optimize outcomes and minimize surgical stress.
