Gastroenterology

The department of gastroenterology provides a comprehensive gastroenterology service with the help of modern technology but with a humane touch. The department has highly qualified and internationally trained consultants and also is a preferred referral centre where patients are referred from outstation as well. Supporting the excellent professionals is a team of staff nurses and technicians. The department deals with various medical problems in gastroenterology in the outpatient, inpatient, and emergency services. The doctors have expertise in the management of the full spectrum of gastrointestinal, liver and pancreatico-biliary diseases. This includes, but is not restricted to, disorders like inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, malabsorption syndrome, gastrointestinal bleed, chronic diarrhea, constipation, peptic ulcer, reflux disease, acute liver failure, chronic liver disease (viral, alcoholic and others), portal hypertension, bilio-pancreatic disorders, malignancies etc. The Department boasts of fully equipped operation theatres where high end and complex diagnostic, therapeutic as well as emergency procedures using endoscopy are performed. Apart from the routine colonoscopies and endoscopies, we are also leaders in advanced therapeutic endoscopy which allows for the simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of complex, hard-to-find problems in the gastrointestinal tract. Advanced therapeutic endoscopic procedures are of a higher complexity, and typically “interventional” endoscopic procedures that require additional training and specialized expertise, which we boast of.
