Gastroenterology deals in treating diseases related to gastrointestinal tract including liver, biliary system, and digestive disorders. The branch also includes the understanding of gastrointestinal organs, like the functioning of the liver, digestion and absorption, removal of waste and several others. Any gastrointestinal disorder can cause problems in stomach, oesophagus, pancreas, gallbladder, liver, small and large intestines.

Endoscopic Ultrasounds (EUS) are also done for guided biopsies and pancreatic biliary diseases. We also offer Fibroscan & Capsule Endoscopy services.
The latest machines, skilled team of specialists & modern infrastructure help provide precise treatment for all.
ENDOSCOPY: A minimally invasive facility used to examine the inner body using a long, thin and tube-like instrument called an endoscope.
COLONOSCOPY: This is a type of endoscopic procedure used to examine the large bowel and the distal part of the small bowel.
ERCP: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography used to examine the pancreatic and bile ducts.
EUS – EUS is an endoscopic procedure that allows to examine the digestive tract and adjacent structures like liver, pancreas, gall bladder. Diagnosis of digestive tract diseases can be done with great precision by EUS. It is also used for taking biopsies from tumors, cysts and lymph nodes. Staging of malignant tumors and many therapeutic procedures, related to pancreas and bile ducts can be done successfully with EUS.
FibroScan - FibroScan is an advanced ultrasound machine that is used to perform pain free, non-invasive test for managing chronic liver diseases. It measures fibrosis (scarring) and steatosis (abnormal retention of fat) in the liver. The machine can quantify stiffness of liver tissue and generate an approximation of fat in the liver.
We also offer the following services & treatment at our Centre for Liver & Digestive Sciences:
Endoscope: This is a long, thin and tube-like instrument with a light source and a thin camera at one end by which it takes images of the inner body and the same on the television screen.
Colonoscope: Colonoscopes are a thin tube-like instrument that comes with a CCD camera/fibre optic camera and it is passed through the anus for carrying out the examination.
FibroScan: This is a specialized ultrasound machine that measures fibrosis and steatosis in the liver. We recommend that every individual after a certain age gets checked so that they can take preventive action when required. This a safe, non-invasive way we can identify an issue beforehand and it is the need of the hour, due to the stark variations in our diet & lifestyle & negative routine habits.
ERCP: This is a type of endoscopic technology which is a bendable, lighted tube used for examining stomach & small intestine.
Capsule colonoscopy: A thin tube-like endoscopic instrument with a camera at both ends which is used to examine the colon.
