Gastroenterology

Medical Gastroenterology studies the diseases of Esophagus, Stomach, Small intestine and Large Intestine, Liver, Pancreas and Gall bladder.

At Vydehi hospital, we diagnose and treat the entire range of gastrointestinal diseases and liver diseases. Our expert team of specialists use the state of art advanced equipment like EVIS X1-CV 1500 processor and treatment techniques dealing from simple cases to most critical cases with support from Surgical Gastroenterology, Oncology, Interventional Radiology, Pathology and Intensive Care departments. They carry the examination of the gastrointestinal tract with video endoscopes, which produce a high-quality picture of the internal lining of the gastrointestinal and biliary tract. Most common video endoscopies performed are Oesophago Gastro Duodenoscopy (OGD for short; it is often also called gastroscopy), colonoscopy, Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatiography (ERCP), SpyGlas Cholangioscopy and Manometry
