Our Services

The practice provides advanced diagnostic and interventional gastroenterology procedures. These options help patients receive effective treatment with less invasive methods.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP)

ERCP uses a duodenoscope to examine the bile ducts and pancreas. It can help identify and remove gallstones that block the bile ducts. It can also help diagnose pancreatitis, strictures and tumours. Furthermore, doctors can place stents to relieve blockages. Advanced endoscopic techniques make ERCP useful for managing biliary and pancreatic diseases.

Liver Biopsy

A liver biopsy helps diagnose hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, liver fibrosis and tumours. The liver metabolises nutrients, produces bile and detoxifies the body. Therefore, early identification of liver problems remains important. A biopsy provides information that helps guide the treatment plan.

Double Balloon Endoscopy (DBE)

DBE allows doctors to examine the small intestine in detail. Traditional endoscopy cannot easily reach this area. Therefore, DBE can help investigate unexplained small bowel bleeding and diagnose Crohn’s disease or tumours. It can also remove polyps and allow doctors to take biopsies. The procedure uses a flexible endoscope with an inflatable tube for a detailed assessment.

Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS)

EUS combines endoscopy and ultrasound technology. This provides a detailed view of the gastrointestinal tract and nearby organs. It can examine the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum, as well as the colon and rectum. It can also examine the gallbladder and pancreas.

EUS helps diagnose tumours, cysts and structural abnormalities. In addition, it allows precise biopsies, which supports accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
