Overview
Gastroenterology And Hepatobiliary Sciences
The Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Sciences at our hospital delivers advanced, comprehensive care for a wide range of gastrointestinal, pancreatic, liver, and biliary disorders. Our dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced Gastroenterologists utilizes cutting-edge technology to provide exceptional services.
We offer both outpatient (OPD) and inpatient (IPD) management for gastrointestinal, hepatic, and biliary disorders. Our diagnostic capabilities include a variety of endoscopic procedures such as Gastroscopy, Duodenoscopy, Enteroscopy, Colonoscopy, and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). These procedures are instrumental in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the digestive system.
In addition to routine care, our department excels in managing acute and life-threatening conditions such as Acute Liver Failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, Acute Pancreatitis, Acute Colitis, Biliary Sepsis, and more. We perform therapeutic procedures including Polypectomies, Variceal Banding, Foreign Body Removal, GI Stenting, and treatment for GI bleeding.
Our services also encompass specialized interventions such as Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement, Balloon Dilatation for benign and malignant strictures and achalasia, and Biliary procedures such as Gallstone Removal and Stenting of the Common Bile Duct (CBD).
