Endoscopy

Endoscopy is a nonsurgical procedure performed in order to look into a person’s digestive tract. Using an endoscope, a flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it, we can view pictures of the digestive tract on a TV monitor.

Endoscopy is routinely performed for the following conditions:

• For patients who suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding, both Banding / injection of esophageal varices and control of bleeding with adrenaline injection / argon plasma coagulation are routinely performed.
• For patients for whom feeding is a problem either due to neurological disorders or altered consciousness levels, endoscopic placement of nasojejunaltube or PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) tube is done.
• Endoscopic removal of gastric / colonic polyps is routinely done.
• For patients with obstructive jaundice, ERCP / papillotomy / stone extraction from CBD/biliary stenting (plastic as well as metal stents) can be performed.
• Other routine procedures like liver biopsy, aspiration of liver abscess and diagnostic and therapeutic paracentesis are done through endoscopy.
