Upper GI Endoscopy (Gastroscopy)

This advanced upper endoscopy includes biopsy sampling to diagnose microscopic tissue changes. It’s essential for accurate evaluation of conditions such as Helicobacter pylori infection, gastritis, pre-cancerous lesions, and early tumor detection.

Why It’s Important

Biopsies help:

• Confirm infection or inflammation
• Rule out cancerous or pre-cancerous tissue
• Guide precise treatment plans

Patient Benefits

• Early detection of serious conditions
• Faster clarity on the cause of symptoms
• Helps avoid unnecessary treatments

Band Ligation for Hemorrhoids

Rubber band ligation is a safe, effective treatment for internal hemorrhoids. A small elastic band is placed around the hemorrhoid, cutting off blood supply and allowing the tissue to shrink and fall off painlessly.

Ideal For Patients With

• Rectal bleeding
• Painful bowel movements
• Discomfort from hemorrhoidal swelling

Advantages

• Minimally invasive
• Outpatient procedure
• Quick recovery
• Low complication risk

Glue Injection for Tissue Repair

Glue injection (tissue adhesive technique) is used in selected gastrointestinal procedures to seal bleeding vessels or tissue defects. It’s especially useful in managing variceal bleeding — a life-threatening condition in liver disease patients.

Why It’s Done

• Immediate bleeding control
• Supports tissue healing
• Less invasive compared to open surgery

Esophageal, Gastric & Duodenal Stenting

Stenting involves placing a small, flexible tube (stent) to widen narrowed or blocked segments of the digestive tract — including the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum. This restores passage and improves swallowing and digestion.

When It’s Used

• Tumor obstruction
• Esophageal strictures
• Postsurgical narrowing

Patient Benefit

• Improves food intake
• Reduces risk of aspiration
• Enhances quality of life

Stricture Dilatation

Stricture dilatation widens narrow sections of the gastrointestinal tract using specialized balloons or dilators. It treats scars or fibrosis due to chronic inflammation, previous surgery, or ulceration.

Symptoms Addressed

• Difficulty swallowing
• Food sticking sensation
• Progressive weight loss

Detection of Early Gastric & Esophageal Cancers with NBI Mode

Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) is an advanced endoscopic technique that enhances the visualization of the mucosal surface and vascular patterns of the stomach and esophagus. By using specific wavelengths of light, NBI highlights subtle changes in the tissue that may indicate early-stage gastric or esophageal cancers, which are often missed with conventional endoscopy. Early detection allows timely intervention and significantly improves patient outcomes.

Benefits

• Enhanced visualization of subtle mucosal and vascular changes
• Enables detection of early-stage cancers that are otherwise difficult to identify
• Minimally invasive and safe procedure with real-time results
• Guides precise biopsy and treatment planning

Who Should Consider It

• Patients with unexplained persistent heartburn, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), or upper abdominal discomfort
• Individuals with a history of chronic gastritis, Barrett’s esophagus, or other pre-cancerous conditions
• Individuals with a history of chronic gastritis, Barrett’s esophagus, or other pre-cancerous conditions
• Patients requiring surveillance after previous gastrointestinal lesions

Why It Matters

APC is a non-contact thermal therapy used to control bleeding in the GI tract — including angiodysplasias and vascular lesions. It delivers ionized argon gas to coagulate tissue safely without deep tissue damage.

Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC)

APC is a non-contact thermal therapy used to control bleeding in the GI tract — including angiodysplasias and vascular lesions. It delivers ionized argon gas to coagulate tissue safely without deep tissue damage.

Advantages

• Precise bleeding control
• Effective for diffuse lesions
• Low complication rates
