Diagnosis and management, through High Definition Gastroscopy
Colonoscopy for symptoms related to lower GI tract
Capsule Endoscopy for detection of
Balloon Enteroscopy is done if there is a strong suspicion of abnormality in the small bowel and a biopsy or therapy is required. By performing a Per-oral and Per-anal Balloon enteroscopy, entire small bowel can be scanned and treated by endoscope.
Cancer Detection and Staging with precision using diagnostic and interventional Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS)
-thereby enabling selection of proper mode of treatment. Very useful for cancers of the pancreas, bile ducts, gall bladder,stomach and esophagus.
For conditions like enlarged lymph nodes in the chest or abdomen due to TB or cancer, fluid collections in the chest or abdomen, which would traditionally require surgical treatment, this technique is a far better option that avoids open surgery.
To detect Bile duct stones, detect microlithiasis in the gall bladder, pick up pancreas divisum, detect masses in the Mediastinum, detect nature of submucosal tumors
Interventional EUS for acquiring Fine needle aspiration (FNAC) from pancreatic cancers, mediastinal masses, bile duct cancers, gall bladder cancers, peri-gastric or peri-colonic masses.
Therapeutic EUS for assisting biliary or pancreatic cannulation in case of a failed ERCP or performing a direct EUS guided drainage of the biliary and pancreatic system.; and for drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts.
Digital Chromo Endoscopy examination to pick up cancerous changes in the esophageal, gastric or colonic mucosa and then take targeted biopsies from it. With this technique, cancers of the upper GI tract can be picked up in the early stage when they are amenable for cure.
Interventional endoscopy for
The routinely performed interventional ERCP procedures are:
