Key procedures of Gastroenterology at Bombay Hospital in Mumbai

ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio pancreatography): This procedure involves treating various Biliary-pancreatic disorders. These include obstructive jaundice caused by common bile duct stones (extraction of the stones) or relieving obstruction in biliary-pancreatic cancers by placement of plastic or metal stents. ERCP also aids in obtaining tumor tissue cytology/biopsy from the bile duct to confirm the diagnosis in suspected cases of malignancy. It is helpful in procuring tissue for examination and aids in difficult biliary and pancreatic therapeutic endoscopic procedures.
EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasonography):With EUS, our Leading gastroenterologist in Mumbai can take a close and detailed look at the digestive tract, pancreas, and surrounding tissues. It’s minimally invasive and gives accurate results, help us diagnose and treat a variety of digestive issues with precision.
Capsule Endoscopy: For certain conditions, such as suspected Crohn’s disease or unexplained small intestine bleeding, we use capsule endoscopy. Patients simply swallow a tiny capsule with a camera inside, which takes thousands of pictures as it travels through the intestine, all without any discomfort.
