Gastroenterology Department
We are housing among the finest Gastroenterology departments across Eastern India with all the latest equipment and a team of leading Gastroenterologists.
Olympus 190 Series Endoscope, Colonoscope and ERCP kit with narrow-band imaging (NBI) that allows earliest of the earliest detection in case of any malignancies or abnormal growth
- Olympus 190 Series Endoscope and Colonoscope: These are advanced instruments used to examine the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, respectively. They provide high-resolution images for accurate diagnosis.
- ERCP kit: This equipment is used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for the biliary and pancreatic systems.
- Narrow-band imaging (NBI): This technology enhances the visualization of mucosal structures, enabling earlier detection of abnormalities like cancer or precancerous lesions.
Presence of Endoscopic Ultrasound, which is the most advanced diagnostic tool for Gall Bladder, CBD and Pancreatic problems. It is also the US-FDA-approved endoscopic procedure for FNAC
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) combines endoscopy with ultrasound imaging. It is highly effective in diagnosing gallbladder, bile duct, and pancreatic diseases. EUS also allows for fine-needle aspiration (FNAC) under ultrasound guidance to obtain tissue samples for diagnosis.
We are having the facility for Capsule Endoscopy which offers highest convenience
Capsule endoscopy involves swallowing a small camera-equipped capsule to examine the small intestine. It is a non-invasive alternative to traditional endoscopy, providing a wide view of the intestinal tract.
To detect fatty liver, we are having Transient Elastography (Fibroscan) which is superior and more accurate compared to USG
Transient elastography (Fibroscan) is a non-invasive method to measure liver stiffness, which is a marker of liver fibrosis. It is more accurate than traditional ultrasound (USG) in assessing liver damage caused by fatty liver disease.
For swallowing disorders (Achalasia), we are having Esophageal Manometry and for GERD / acid reflux, we have 24 hrs pH Impedance Test
- Esophageal manometry: This test measures the pressure in the esophagus to diagnose swallowing disorders like achalasia.
- 24-hour pH impedance test: This test monitors acid reflux and esophageal acid exposure over a 24-hour period to diagnose GERD.
We also have the facility of Hydrogen Breath Test to detect SIBO or other issues like Lactose intolerance.
A hydrogen breath test measures the amount of hydrogen in exhaled breath. It is used to diagnose small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and lactose intolerance.
We are pioneers in 3rd Space Endoscopy which has replaced complex surgeries with endoscopic procedures- POEM, G-POEM, ESD, EMR etc.
Third-space endoscopy refers to advanced endoscopic techniques that treat conditions traditionally requiring surgery. These procedures include:
- POEM (Peroral endoscopic myotomy): Treats achalasia by cutting the muscle layer of the esophagus.
- G-POEM (Gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy): Treats gastroparesis by improving stomach emptying.
- ESD (Endoscopic submucosal dissection): Removes early-stage gastrointestinal tumors.
- EMR (Endoscopic mucosal resection): Removes superficial lesions from the gastrointestinal tract.
By offering a comprehensive range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, this gastroenterology department demonstrates a commitment to providing state-of-the-art care for patients with digestive disorders.
