Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
FECAL MICROBIOTA TRANSPLANTATION (FMT)
This emerging treatment involves transferring stool from a healthy donor into a patient's gastrointestinal tract. FMT aims primarily at restoring microbial balance in cases of recurrent Clostridium difficile infections and other GI disorders where dysbiosis occurs.
NERCP (ENDOSCOPIC RETROGRADE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY)
This specialized endoscopic technique enables healthcare providers to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts and pancreas. ERCP combines endoscopy with fluoroscopy for comprehensive imaging guidance during procedures.
- Common Indications: It’s typically recommended for suspected biliary obstructions or pancreatitis caused by gallstones or tumors.
GASTROSTOMY TUBE PLACEMENT
A gastrostomy involves placing a feeding tube directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall. This procedure assists patients who are unable to consume food orally due to various medical conditions.
- Indications: Conditions such as neurological disorders or severe swallowing difficulties often prompt this intervention when nutritional intake is compromised.
- Surgical Technique: The placement can be performed using endoscopic guidance or through open surgery depending on patient needs and circumstances.
- Care and Management: Following placement, routine care is vital to prevent infections and ensure tube functionality for effective feeding administration.
This life-enhancing procedure not only addresses nutritional deficiencies but also supports improved overall health outcomes for patients needing long-term feeding solutions.
LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a surgical technique used to remove the gallbladder through small incisions. This minimally invasive method offers numerous benefits compared to traditional open surgery.
- Symptoms: Typically indicated by recurring pain in the upper abdomen or gallstones detected via imaging studies.
- Diagnosis: Confirmed through ultrasound or CT scans prior to surgery to ensure suitability for laparoscopic approach.
- Surgical Technique: Surgeons utilize specialized instruments and video assistance for enhanced visualization during gallbladder removal.
- Recovery Time: Most patients experience shorter hospitalization and quicker recovery periods compared to conventional surgery methods.
This advanced procedure minimizes scarring while providing effective treatment for gallbladder-related complications.
COLONOSCOPY
A colonoscopy is a critical examination of the large intestine that plays a significant role in early detection of colorectal diseases. It utilizes a long, flexible tube with a camera to visualize the intestinal lining.
- Causes: Risk factors including age, family history of colorectal cancer, and certain lifestyle choices necessitate this examination.
- Symptoms: Signs such as persistent diarrhea, constipation changes, or rectal bleeding may prompt your physician to recommend this test.
- Diagnosis: The procedure often includes biopsy sampling if abnormal tissue is found during examination.
- Treatment Options: Polyps found during colonoscopy can be removed immediately. Additionally, patients will receive follow-up care tailored to results.
This important diagnostic tool not only aids in identifying tumors but also ensures proactive management of gastrointestinal health.
ENDOSCOPY
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This method allows physicians to visualize the esophagus, stomach, and parts of the intestine with high precision.
- Symptoms: Patients may experience abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained weight loss indicating the need for an endoscopy.
- Diagnosis: Typically performed under sedation, endoscopies are guided by a thin tube equipped with a camera and light, allowing for direct observation.
- Treatment/Management Options: During the procedure, biopsies can be taken, and polyps can be removed, thereby addressing multiple issues simultaneously.
- Recovery: Patients can usually return home the same day and may resume normal activities within 24 hours.
This procedure is invaluable for diagnosing conditions like ulcers or cancer while ensuring patient comfort throughout the process.
