Treatment & Procedures
ERCP
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography or ERCP is a technique that combines the use of endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat certain problems of the biliary or pancreatic ductal systems.
Manometry
Manometry is a test used to identify problems with movement and pressure in the oesophagus. Manometry measures the strength and muscle coordination of the oesophagus while swallowing.
Hydrogen Breath Test
Hydrogen Breath Test is usually performed to detect small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and also glucose / lactose malabsorption
OGD - Oesophago-gastro Duodenoscopy
OGD or Oesophago-gastro Duodenoscopy is a visual examination of the lining of your oesophagus, stomach and duodenum.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is, a procedure used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine/colon and rectum.
Minimally invasive surgery for…
Acute pancreatitis occurs due to a sudden inflammation of the pancreas. It may be mild or life threatening but usually subsides. Gallstones and excessive alcohol consumption are the main causes for acute pancreatitis and one experiences severe abdominal pain. Surgery may be needed if complications such as infection, cysts or bleeding occur. If gallstones…
Endoscopic Ultrasound
It is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed to detect gastrointestinal diseases. The procedure is performed using a specialized endoscope that projects sound waves of high frequency to produce detailed images of the digestive tract, lymph nodes, chest, liver, and pancreas. The procedure is largely diagnostic in nature and helps to detect…
Liver Scan
This diagnostic procedure is performed to take a closer look at the liver and spleen to identify any abnormalities. The procedure involves a radioactive dye or contrast material that is absorbed by the liver, spleen and bone marrow. A scan is then done to identify where the radioactive elements have collected, producing an image of dense radioactivity…
The Gastrointestinal Science
-
The pancreas secretes enzymes that help break down food and hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels.
-
The liver filters blood toxins and produces bile, which helps the body digest fat. It also stores vitamins and minerals for bodily functions, including iron and copper.
-
The gallbladder sits just under the liver, stores bile, and releases this bile into the small intestine.
-
The Gastrointestinal Tract includes the mouth, Oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus.
How does the Digestive System Work?
A digestive system works together to break down food into nutrients and get them ready to be absorbed into the bloodstream. All those nutrients distribute throughout the body to help build and repair cells, provide energy, and keep the body healthy.
-
The digestive system has two main parts: mouth, throat, stomach, and intestines.
-
The food mixes with saliva (produced in the mouth) that contains enzymes that start to break down starches into simple sugars like glucose.
-
Swallowing starts the process of moving food through the digestive tract.
-
Once food reaches the stomach, it mixes with hydrochloric acid and other enzymes produced by the stomach cells to break down proteins into amino acids and fats into fatty acids.
-
The mixture then moves into the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed into blood vessels while waste products leave the large intestine.
-
Waste, now called faeces, exits through the rectum and moves out of the body through the anus.
Common Gastrointestinal Conditions
-
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is when the stomach contents come back up into the Oesophagus. The most common symptoms of GERD are heartburn and regurgitation.
-
Peptic Ulcer Disease affects the lining of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. The lining is called the mucosa, and when it becomes inflamed or irritated, it can become painful and bleed.
-
Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders include IBD (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), functional dyspepsia, and other related conditions. The symptoms of these disorders are similar to those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but they occur without any evidence of inflammation.
-
Gastrointestinal (GI) Bleeding is blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract. The most common cause of GI bleeding is ulcers, which can be severe if left untreated.
-
Pancreaticobiliary Diseases affect the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver. They can lead to long-term complications such as pancreatic cancer or liver failure.
-
Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a group of chronic, autoimmune diseases that affect the gastrointestinal tract. It can cause pain, diarrhoea and weight loss.
-
Acute liver is when the liver stops working properly due to alcohol abuse, a viral infection, or a drug overdose.
-
Liver Malignancy is a cancerous growth of cells in the liver. It can result from viruses, bacteria, or other chemicals. Liver malignancy is also called hepatic carcinoma and primary liver cancer.
-
Gastrointestinal Malignancy is a cancer of the gastrointestinal tract or GI tract. The most common types of GI cancers are colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon or rectum), stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer and liver cancer.
Diagnostic Facilities
- Manometry
Manometry measures pressure in the human body. It measures the pressure of fluids inside the body, such as blood vessels and organs, to diagnose diseases such as cancer, hepatitis, and heart problems.
- Colonoscopy
A Colonoscopy examines the large intestine, also known as the colon. A gastroenterologist uses a flexible tube called a colonoscope to view the inside of the colon and identify abnormal growths, such as polyps and tumours.
- ERCP
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) diagnoses and treats pancreatic, biliary and gallbladder disorders. A thin tube called an endoscope goes into the body through the mouth, Oesophagus or anus. The endoscope enables the doctor to see the digestive tract and other organs.
- Hydrogen Breath Test
The Hydrogen Breath Test, also known as the lactose tolerance test, involves the patient ingesting a solution containing lactose and exhaling it into a balloon. A balloon collects hydrogen gas from the patient's breath. It diagnoses lactose intolerance in people unable to follow a diet based on dairy products. It can also check whether a person has been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
- OGD - Oesophago-Gastro Duodenoscopy
Oesophago-Gastro Duodenoscopy (OGD) uses a tiny camera called a duodenoscope which doctors insert into the Oesophagus and stomach to view the inside of these organs and look for abnormalities. This procedure is also known as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
- Endoscopic Ultrasound
Endoscopic ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the body's internal organs. It diagnoses and treats pancreatic cancer and gallstones, using a thin tube called an endoscope to project high-frequency sound waves into the body.
- Liver Scan
A liver scan uses a small amount of radioactive material to detect abnormalities in the liver. A doctor injects a radioactive tracer into the patient's bloodstream. Then the patient lies on a table for about an hour while a scanner device detects the radioactivity and produces images of the liver.
Treatments
- Gallbladder Stones Surgery
Gallbladder stones are hard, gritty deposits that form in the gallbladder. These can be as tiny as a grain of sand or large as a pearl, causing intense pain in the abdomen's upper right.
The surgery to remove them is called a cholecystectomy, in which the surgeon makes several small incisions on the abdomen so that a tiny camera can look inside and guide instruments to remove the stones. Other times, open-abdominal surgery makes a direct incision into the abdomen to remove the gallbladder and any surrounding tissue affected by infection or cancerous growths (carcinomas).
- Appendix Surgery
Appendix surgery removes the appendix through an incision in the abdomen on the occurrence of symptoms related to appendicitis. This condition can result in inflammation and swelling of the appendix. A surgeon may recommend this procedure when the patient's symptoms are severe, or there is no improvement after other treatments.
- Rectal Prolapse Surgery
Rectal Prolapse Surgery corrects a rectal prolapse, which occurs when the rectum protrudes from the anus. In some cases, it is only partial, while in others, it can be complete. The surgery involves cutting an incision into the skin around the anus and then pulling the rectum back into place with sutures or stitches.
- Splenectomy
A Splenectomy, or removal of the Spleen, treats various conditions like hemolytic anaemia, cirrhosis of the liver, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and certain types of leukaemia.
A complete splenectomy removes almost the entire Spleen's tissue, disabling the production of antibodies against foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses anymore due to a lack of space inside the body for additional tissue growth to replace old cells lost over time.
- Stapled Haemorrhoidectomy
Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy removes enlarged haemorrhoids. It involves an incision that exposes the haemorrhoids and then staples them closed. Doctors remove the staples after a few days.
It treats external haemorrhoids that are painful or bleeding and internal haemorrhoids that cause bleeding or prolapse.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve Gastrectomy removes the stomach's large portion and creates a small, banana-shaped pouch. The surgery treats obesity and some types of diabetes. After the procedure, patients can eat about 1/3 of what they ate before surgery with fewer calories.
- Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass reduces the stomach and connects it to the small intestine. A pouch is made from part of the stomach and connected to the small intestine. It makes the food move through the digestive system quicker, making one feel full faster.
Suppose a person has obesity caused by a binge eating disorder or another condition that causes them to overeat. In that case, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may be an effective treatment option.
- One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass
One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OGGB) is a bariatric surgery procedure that involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach, which allows food to pass through from the pouch to the rest of the stomach. It bypasses most intestines, reducing calories absorbed from food and helping patients lose weight.
- Duodenal Switch
Duodenal Switch is a weight-loss surgery procedure in which the surgeon creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach and attaches it to the middle portion of the small intestine, creating two new openings for food to pass through, one for liquids and one for solids.
The surgery also rearranges other parts of the digestive system, including parts of the small bowel, large bowel and pancreas.
- Endoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (ESG)
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (ESG) reduces the size of the stomach. This minimally invasive procedure is also called gastric sleeve surgery. The surgeon uses a small camera and instruments to operate, helping patients to lose weight by decreasing the amount of food and calories they can eat without feeling full. Unlike other weight loss procedures that alter the digestive system, ESG leaves most of the digestive tract untouched.
