Our Services

We provide cutting-edge diagnostic and interventional gastroenterology procedures, ensuring that patients receive the most effective and least invasive treatment options.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP)

ERCP is a specialised procedure that allows the examination of the bile ducts and pancreas using a duodenoscope. This procedure is particularly useful for:

• Identifying and removing gallstones that block bile ducts
• Diagnosing pancreatitis, strictures, or tumours
• Placing stents to relieve obstructions

By using advanced endoscopic techniques, ERCP plays a vital role in detecting and managing biliary and pancreatic diseases.

Liver Biopsy

A liver biopsy helps diagnose various conditions, including:

• Hepatitis
• Fatty liver disease
• Cirrhosis
• Liver fibrosis and tumours

Because the liver is responsible for metabolising nutrients, producing bile, and detoxifying the body, identifying issues early is essential. A biopsy provides critical information to guide the most effective treatment plan.

Double Balloon Endoscopy (DBE)

DBE is an advanced technique that allows detailed examination of the small intestine, an area that traditional endoscopy cannot easily access. It is particularly beneficial for:

• Investigating unexplained small bowel bleeding
• Diagnosing conditions such as Crohn’s disease or tumours
• Removing polyps and taking biopsies

By using a flexible endoscope with an inflatable tube, this procedure ensures a comprehensive assessment of the small intestine.

Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS)

EUS combines endoscopy with ultrasound technology, allowing for a highly detailed view of the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding organs, including:

• Oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum (upper digestive tract)
• Colon and rectum (lower digestive tract)
• Gallbladder and pancreas

This technique is invaluable for diagnosing tumours, cysts, and structural abnormalities. Additionally, it enables precise biopsies, improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
