Why Choose Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals?

CARE Hospitals provides a range of medically and technologically advanced services in its Medical Gastroenterology Department, 

Advanced Endoscopy: In endoscopy, images of the inside of the body are taken using a thin, long tube containing a light and video camera, which is a minimally invasive procedure. The images are displayed on a screen connected to the camera. The entire endoscopy is recorded for later reference so that doctors can examine it again if necessary. It is usually done to determine the level/degree of the concerned medical problem. 

Colonoscopic Procedures: In a colonoscopy, your doctor examines the colon and rectum as an outpatient procedure. Using a colonoscope, the doctor examines the colon with a thin, flexible tube. The colon can be scanned to see if it has ulcers, polyps, tumours, inflammation, bleeding, or cancer. You can also get screened for cancer or precancerous growths with a colonoscopy.

A colonoscopy may involve the following procedures,

• Performing a diagnostic colonoscopy.
• Early GI malignancies can be diagnosed with narrow-band imaging.
• For colonic bleeds, endoscopic therapy can be used (Sclerotherapy, Argon Plasma Coagulation, Bipolar Coag, and Clips).
• Polypectomy and Submucosal Resection.
• Using clips/loops to stop bleeding after a polypectomy.
• Dilatations of colonic strictures with balloons.
• Removing foreign bodies.
• For malignant colonic disorders, self-expanding metallic stents can be used.
• Decompression of the Colon.
• Hemorrhoidal Banding.

Upper GI Procedures: An endoscope is used to examine the oesophagus, the stomach, and the small intestine during upper GI (gastrointestinal) endoscopy. The medical professional inserts the endoscope through the mouth and then moves it through the throat into the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum.

Among the procedures performed in the upper GI are,

• Diagnostic Upper GI
• Early GI malignancies can be detected with narrow-band imaging.
• Endoscopic Treatment for variceal bleeds and non-variceal bleeds.
• APC, bipolar coag, clips and loops, and spray coagulation are among the alternatives to banding sclerotherapy.
• Resection of Polyps and Submucosa.
• Balloon Dilatations to treat Esophageal Strictures.
• Dilatations of Pyrophoric Strictures with Balloons.
• Removing foreign bodies.
• Metal Stents with self-expanding capabilities for Benign and Malignant conditions.
• Gastric Percutaneous Endoscopic Surgery (G-PEG).
• Endoscopic Jejunostomy

Outpatient Ascitic Fluid Paracentesis: An ascites is a form of fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity that can be removed with a paracentesis, a procedure that is performed as an outpatient endoscopic procedure at Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals. Abdominal Injury, Infection, inflammation, or other conditions such as cirrhosis and cancer can cause ascites. In order to determine the cause of the fluid buildup, the fluid extracted is sent to the laboratory. A paracentesis may also be used to relieve pain or belly pressure in people with cancer or cirrhosis by removing the fluid. 

ERCP: In addition to treating gallstones and inflammatory strictures (scars), Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) involves Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and X-rays. ERCP can also be for identifying problems, such as leaks (resulting from surgery or trauma) and cancers. Due to the availability of non-invasive tests, such as magnetic resonance cholangiography, ERCP has been primarily utilised for cases in which the Treatment will be administered during the procedure.

These procedures are available,

• ERCP diagnostics.
• Removal of stones from the Common Bile Duct (CBD).
• A variety of techniques are employed to treat large CBD stones, including mechanical lithotripsy, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), and Papillary Balloon Dilatation.
• Placement of stents for benign and malignant biliary strictures.
• Pancreatic pseudocyst drainage.
• Chronic Pancreatitis & Pancreatic Duct Leaks are treated with Pancreatic Duct Stenting.

Enteroscopic Procedures​​​​​​: During this procedure, one or more balloons are attached to a tube and inflated to examine the small intestine. It is possible to insert a scope in two ways: either through the mouth (upper endoscopy) or through the rectum (lower endoscopy). As the inflated balloons hold onto the sides of the bowel, the tube slides over it. When inserted through the bowel, it is easy to move.

Among the Enteroscopic procedures performed are,

• Treatment of small bowel bleeds using endoscopic methods (sclerotherapy, APC, bipolar coil, clips).
• Polypectomy
• A balloon dilatator is used to treat small bowel strictures.
• Removal of foreign bodies.
• Small bowel malignant stents that expand on their own.
