ENDOSCOPY INTERVENTIONAL
Interventional endoscopy is utilized in treating bile duct stones, stenting of the gastrointestinal tract, treating gastrointestinal bleeding, and diagnosing and treating tumors involving the esophagus, stomach, biliary system, pancreas, small bowel, and colon.
The procedures are typically performed outpatient; most patients may return home the same day.

Endoscopic tissue resection – EMR and ESD
- for removal of cancerous or precancerous growths (polyps) on the lining of the oesophagus, stomach, small bowel, large bowel, and rectum
Per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)
- minimally invasive management of Achalasia and other oesophageal motility conditions
By combining advanced imaging and device technology with technical expertise, our physicians help patients avoid more invasive traditional Treatment approaches, such as surgery.
These procedures are minimally invasive, meaning they are performed using thin, flexible tubes advanced through the body’s natural orifices, such as the Colonoscopy, Upper Endoscopy, and Laparoscopy.
Thus, they avoid the complications associated with surgery and provide faster recovery times.
