Department of Gastroenterology & GI Surgery
Expert Care for Digestive, Liver, and Pancreatic Disorders with Advanced Endoscopy Services
The Department of Gastroenterology specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the digestive tract, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. We offer a comprehensive suite of medical and surgical services, focusing on evidence-based medicine and personalized patient care.
Our unit features a dedicated Advanced Endoscopy Suite equipped with the latest high-definition video endoscopes, Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), and ERCP facilities, enabling precise diagnosis and minimally invasive therapeutic procedures for complex conditions.
The team includes highly qualified Gastroenterologists, Hepatologists (Liver Specialists), and Gastrointestinal Surgeons who collaborate to manage conditions such as chronic Hepatitis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), advanced GI cancers, and acute GI bleeding.
We are committed to patient comfort and safety, offering all endoscopic procedures under conscious sedation or anesthesia, ensuring a painless and stress-free experience.
Integrated GI and Liver Care
Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy
Procedures like ERCP for bile duct stones, endoscopic stenting, and ablation for GI tumors.
Hepatology & Liver Clinics
Specialist management for chronic Hepatitis B/C, liver cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancers.
Minimally Invasive GI Surgery
Laparoscopic and robotic surgery for colorectal cancer, appendicitis, and gallbladder removal (Cholecystectomy).
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Diagnosis and long-term management of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, including biologic therapies.
Advanced GI Technology
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
High-resolution imaging of the GI wall, pancreas, and bile ducts; used for cancer staging and fine-needle aspiration (FNA).
ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
A specialized procedure to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts (e.g., stone removal, stenting).
Capsule Endoscopy
Pill-sized camera ingested by the patient to capture detailed images of the small intestine, unreachable by standard endoscopy.
FibroScan Technology
Non-invasive tool to assess liver stiffness (fibrosis/cirrhosis) and fatty liver (steatosis) without requiring a painful biopsy.
Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC)
Used endoscopically to stop active GI bleeding, treat vascular malformations, and destroy polyps.
High-Definition Endoscopy Towers
Equipped with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) technology for early detection and characterization of precancerous lesions.
Key Procedures and Conditions Treated
Medical Gastroenterology
Specializing in non-surgical diagnosis and management of chronic digestive issues, functional gut disorders, and acute GI emergencies.
Gastrointestinal Surgery
Offering a full spectrum of surgical treatments for GI diseases, with a strong emphasis on minimally invasive laparoscopic and open surgical techniques.
Hepatology and Pancreatic Care
Dedicated treatment protocols for complex liver diseases, pancreatic masses, and biliary tract disorders, including critical care for acute organ failure.
Commitment to Digestive Health
Integrated Surgical & Medical Team
Gastroenterologists and GI Surgeons work together from diagnosis to recovery, ensuring seamless, coordinated care.
Advanced Sedation for Endoscopy
Procedures are performed under continuous monitoring and expert sedation for patient comfort and reduced anxiety.

Dedicated screening protocols for high-risk patients (e.g., colonoscopy screening for colorectal cancer).
Trained Endoscopy Technicians
Our endoscopy staff are highly trained in sterilizing and maintaining sensitive equipment to prevent infection.
Nutritional and Dietetic Support
Consultations with GI dietitians for IBD, Celiac, and post-operative nutritional management.
Acute Bleed Management Protocol
24/7 readiness and specialized pathways for rapid, life-saving intervention in cases of severe GI hemorrhage.
