Vinay Sehgal Gastroenterologist London specializes in treating Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) and other complex digestive disorders. With advanced skills in endoscopy and years of experience, Dr. Sehgal provides the best care to patients suffering from GORD. He ensures quick recovery and effective symptom relief using the latest techniques.
Dr. Vinay Sehgal Gastroenterologist London has extensive experience diagnosing and treating GORD. This condition, which causes heartburn, acid reflux, and difficulty swallowing, can greatly affect a person’s quality of life. Dr. Sehgal’s expertise ensures accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans. He uses advanced diagnostic tools, including the BRAVO capsule, to monitor acid levels in the oesophagus. This approach helps tailor the best treatment for each patient.
Dr. Sehgal provides minimally invasive treatments for GORD, offering patients effective solutions with fewer risks. One of the main treatments he offers is the STRETTA procedure. It uses radiofrequency energy to strengthen the lower oesophageal sphincter, reducing acid reflux. This treatment has been proven to help patients feel better, without the need for invasive surgery. Furthermore, Dr. Sehgal is one of the few experts in London performing the Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) procedure. This innovative technique repairs hiatus hernias and treats GORD symptoms without the need for large incisions.
He also focuses on preventing the long-term effects of untreated GORD. Over time, GORD can lead to serious conditions such as Barrett’s Oesophagus, which increases the risk of oesophageal cancer. Dr. Sehgal offers a variety of treatments to address these concerns. He uses endoscopic methods like Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) to treat early-stage oesophageal cancer, offering patients the best chance of a full recovery.
Aside from GORD, Dr. Sehgal also treats other complex digestive conditions. These include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), achalasia, and eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE). His expertise in advanced endoscopy ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for these conditions. Patients benefit from his comprehensive approach and commitment to improving their digestive health.
He is also dedicated to advancing the field of gastroenterology. He has led research in oesophageal cancer treatment and developed innovative technologies, such as a non-invasive oesophageal tissue sampling device. This device has improved how doctors monitor pre-cancerous conditions, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Sehgal’s ongoing research continues to contribute to better diagnostic and treatment options for digestive diseases.
