If you are suffering from any gastrointestinal problems for a long period, seek immediate medical attention from Dr. Indraneel Saha. Offering outstanding therapeutic endoscopic procedures, here is a complete list of treatments he caters to:
Piles Banding
What Is Piles Banding? Piles banding, also known as rubber band ligation, is a laparoscopic procedure for treating internal hemorrhoids. It involves placing a small rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply, leading to shrinkage and eventual resolution of symptoms.
Achalasia Balloon Dilatation
Achalasia balloon dilatation is a pneumatic endoscopic procedure performed when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) fails to relax during food swallowing which prevents it from passing to the stomach. This process involves placing a balloon near the concerned area and inflating the same to widen the organ for the smooth passage of food.
Argon Plasma Coagulation
Argon Plasma Coagulation is a procedure performed during upper endoscopy or colonoscopy using argon gas to control bleeding from the lesions occurring in the gastrointestinal tract. This method also helps in treating Barrett’s esophagus, colonic polyps, esophageal cancer, etc.
Capsule Endoscopy
A capsule endoscopic procedure is performed to examine the complete GI tract using a stomach enzymes resistant wireless capsule which helps the doctors to visualize the GI tract and rectum. This is included in the diagnostic procedure for Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, etc.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure performed by healthcare professionals to examine the insides of a large intestine, also known as a colon. This process helps in identifying any swollen or inflamed tissue or polyps in the colon or rectum area.
Endoscopy
Endoscopy, a relatively safe procedure involves the insertion of a thin and long tube inside the human body to examine certain internal organs like gastrointestinal tracts. This minimally invasive process helps in performing imaging, surgeries, and other treatment plans.
ERCP Stone Extraction
ERCP stone extraction is an endoscopic procedure to remove calculi or stones from the pancreatic ducts or bile ducts. This procedure is performed by a gastrointestinal surgeon or interventional endoscopist and involves less pain and bleeding with no external incisions required.
Esophageal Dilatation
Esophageal Dilatation is a procedure performed to widen or narrow the lower section of the esophagus, which helps food to pass through the esophagus to the stomach. This procedure is mostly performed under sedation to ensure the patient’s comfort and safety.
Esophageal Stenting
Esophageal stenting is the placement of a stent or tubular device to clear any obstruction present in the esophagus, restricting the smooth passage of food. This treatment is common during esophageal cancer, perforation, and benign strictures.
Liver Fibroscan
A liver fibroscan is a non-invasive diagnostic test to examine the intensity of the underlying condition like liver scarring or steatosis a.k.a. fatty liver. Based on this test, the medical professional proceeds with the treatment plan, best suited to a patient.
Enteral Stenting
Enteral Stenting involves the insertion of a stent into the digestive tract in case of any blockage in the stomach, small intestine, and oesophageal area. This is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure, commonly performed to treat malignant obstruction in the gastrointestinal tract.
ERCP Stenting
ERCP stenting is a medical procedure that helps in the treatment of any blockages present in the pancreas or bile duct. This process incorporates the work of both endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and is minimally invasive, making it effortless and less painful.
Liver Biopsy
The process of liver biopsy involves examining a small sample of liver tissue under the microscope to assess any signs of cancer, inflammation, fibrosis, or infection. Mostly, this procedure is carried on under laparoscopic set-up making it less painful and invasive.
Polypectomy
What Is Polypectomy? Polypectomy is a colonoscopic procedure performed to remove the presence of colon polyps. It is a laparoscopic treatment and helps in the complete removal of precancerous polyps.
Variceal Banding
What Is Variceal Banding? Variceal banding is performed to treat esophageal varices, which are abnormally dilated blood vessels in the esophagus. This procedure is typically indicated for patients with liver cirrhosis or portal hypertension, as these conditions can lead to increased pressure in the veins supplying the liver, resulting in the development of varices.
