Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

POLYPECTOMY DURING COLONOSCOPY

Polypectomy During Colonoscopy

A polypectomy is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at removing abnormal growths called polyps from inside the colon during colonoscopy. It prevents polyps from developing into malignant tumors over time if left untreated.

HELICOBACTER PYLORI TESTING AND TREATMENT

Helicobacter pylori Testing and Treatment

The presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria in the stomach lining contributes significantly to gastritis and peptic ulcer disease worldwide. Detecting and eradicating this infection can relieve symptoms and prevent complications including gastric cancer risk elevation.

  • Symptoms or causes: Persistent stomach pain, bloating after meals, nausea or unexplained weight loss might suggest infection requiring testing;

ESOPHAGEAL MANOMETRY

Esophageal Manometry

A specialized test designed to assess the muscle contractions and coordination in your esophagus that move food towards your stomach. It helps diagnose motility disorders causing swallowing difficulties or chest pain unrelated to cardiac causes.

  • Symptoms or causes: Persistent difficulty swallowing, sensation of food sticking in chest, or unexplained chest discomfort may prompt this study.
  • Diagnosis: A slender catheter inserted via nose into esophagus measures pressure changes during swallowing sequences precisely mapped using advanced sensors.
  • Treatment/management: Findings help guide appropriate therapy ranging from dietary modifications to medications improving motility function or surgical options when needed.
  • What to expect: Mild discomfort from catheter insertion is common but temporary; study typically lasts 30-60 minutes without sedation requirements.

This diagnostic tool plays an essential role in evaluating esophageal function abnormalities leading to better symptom control strategies tailored individually.

CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY

Capsule Endoscopy

This innovative technique involves swallowing a tiny camera encapsulated within a pill-sized device that captures images as it travels through the digestive tract. It is especially useful for examining areas difficult to reach by traditional endoscopes.

  • Symptoms or causes: Used for investigating unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease assessment, or small bowel tumors.
  • Diagnosis: As the capsule moves naturally through digestion, it transmits thousands of pictures wirelessly for detailed evaluation by specialists.
  • Treatment/management: While purely diagnostic, results guide tailored treatment plans based on findings such as inflammation or lesions.
  • What to expect: The painless test requires no sedation and allows normal activities during its passage; images are collected over 8 hours approximately.

This non-invasive approach enhances visualization of hidden GI segments with minimal discomfort or risk to patients seeking clarity about their symptoms.

COLONOSCOPY SCREENING

Colonoscopy Screening

Colonoscopy is a crucial screening tool used for detecting abnormalities within the large intestine. It helps identify polyps, ulcers, inflammation, and colon cancer at an early stage.

  • Symptoms or causes: Recommended for individuals with a family history of colorectal issues or symptoms like blood in stool and chronic bowel changes.
  • Diagnosis: A long flexible tube equipped with a camera is guided through the rectum to inspect the colon’s interior lining thoroughly.
  • Treatment/management: Polyps detected during colonoscopy can often be removed immediately to prevent progression to cancer.
  • What to expect: Preparation involves bowel cleansing; sedation ensures patient comfort throughout this generally safe outpatient procedure.

Routine colonoscopy screenings play a vital role in preventing colorectal diseases by facilitating timely intervention when necessary.

UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL ENDOSCOPY

Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that enables direct visualization of the upper digestive tract. It helps to examine the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine.

  • Symptoms or causes: Indications include persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained abdominal pain, or bleeding.
  • Diagnosis: A thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) is gently inserted through the mouth to visualize internal linings and detect abnormalities.
  • Treatment/management: Besides diagnosis, biopsies can be taken during the procedure for further analysis. Some minor therapeutic interventions are also possible.
  • What to expect: The procedure is usually brief and performed under mild sedation; patients may experience mild throat discomfort afterwards.

This minimally invasive technique provides valuable insights into many upper GI conditions, aiding early detection and management to maintain digestive health.
