Conditions We Treat

At the Institute of Gastrosciences, we offer a wide range of specialized services for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases. Our expert team uses advanced, minimally invasive techniques to ensure effective and comfortable care for each patient. Key services we offer are:

Diagnostic endoscopy: A safe procedure using a thin, flexible tube with a camera to examine the food pipe, stomach, intestines, or colon to find the cause of digestive symptoms.
Interventional endoscopy for upper and lower digestive tract: Advanced minimally invasive procedures to stop bleeding, remove growths, open narrowed areas, or relieve blockages in the digestive system.
Interventional ERCP (Endoscopic Procedure for Bile and Pancreas Issues): A specialized procedure to remove stones or relieve blockages in the bile or pancreatic ducts, often using laser and small tubes (stents) to keep ducts open.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS): Combines endoscopy with ultrasound imaging to get detailed views of organs inside the abdomen and perform biopsies or drain fluid collections without surgery.
3rd Space Endoscopy: Highly advanced, non-surgical procedures used to treat swallowing problems, digestive tract blockages, early tumors, and certain rare conditions through the natural openings of the body.
Weight-loss (Bariatric) endoscopy: Non-surgical options like balloon placement or stomach reshaping procedures to help with weight loss for suitable patients.
Stone Removal without Surgery (Lithotripsy/ESWL): Uses sound waves to break stones in the pancreas or bile duct without any cuts or incisions.

As part of our commitment to community health, we also run a Gut Wellness and Preventive Care Program. Through health camps, awareness talks, and screenings, our team helps people understand and take care of their digestive health early on.
