Other Details

Gastroenterology is a medical specialty that relates to the diagnosis of disorders related to the digestive system. Diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract include the organs from mouth to anus, along the alimentary canal. Digestive disorders have become the most common medical problem. They can at most times be annoying, at times debilitating and, in some cases, life-threatening.

The Department of Gastroenterology offers a comprehensive, sophisticated diagnosis and medical treatment for adults and children by a skilled and experienced staff. It is equipped with state of the art video endoscopes that help to diagnose virtually all mucosal diseases of the gastrointestinal tract accurately and rapidly. We have been able to bring therapeutic relief to patients by utilizing techniques such as foreign body extraction (coin, denture, bone, meat bolus), dilatation of strictures (both benign and malignant), endoscopic hemostasis (stopping bleeding from ulcers, vascular malformation, varices), stenting for malignant tumors (particularly esophageal), removal of polyps from stomach and colon, and feeding tube placement.
