Gastroenterology

Conditions Treated & Services

Gastroenterology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the digestive system, or gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The Institute of Gastro Sciences and Bariatric Surgery functions as a dedicated center for early detection, accurate diagnosis, and advanced treatment of gastrointestinal, pancreato-biliary, bowel, and liver-related disorders.

Upper Endoscopy

Also known as EGD (Esophago-Gastro-Duodenoscopy), this procedure allows specialists to examine the lining of the oesophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as acid reflux, ulcers, and inflammation.

Endoscopic Retrograde (ERCP)

This procedure combines endoscopy with X-rays to examine the bile and pancreatic ducts. It is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as gallstones, pancreatitis, and blockages in the bile ducts.

Endoscopic Ultrasound

This specialized procedure uses sound waves to produce images of the digestive and surrounding organs. It is used to diagnose conditions such as tumours, cysts, and gallstones.

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR)

EMR is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove abnormal tissue or growths from the digestive tract, such as polyps or early-stage tumours.

Hydrogen Breath Test

Hydrogen Breath Test is usually performed to detect small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and also glucose / lactose malabsorption

Manometry

Manometry is a test used to identify problems with movement and pressure in the oesophagus. Manometry measures the strength and muscle coordination of the oesophagus while swallowing.

Optimal clinical outcomes

Care is personalized to individual needs, with additional guidance on nutrition, lifestyle modification, and preventive care to support long-term digestive health.
