Overview
The Centre of
Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Apollo hospitals
specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and
treatment of diseases of the digestive tract and
liver. Our Gastroenterologists specialize in caring
for people who have diseases of the stomach,
intestines and other digestive organs.
Endoscopy, a
procedure that uses a flexible fiberoptic tube to
examine the inside of the body cavity, is used to
detect many upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI)
problems. Those with acute heartburn, indigestion
and unexplained abdominal pain can be treated by
these specialists.
In addition, irritable bowel
syndrome, ulcers, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's
disease, esophageal tumors, liver disease,
pancreatic disorders and other complex problems of
the GI system are treated.
The Centre of Surgical
Gastroenterology is involved in managing major
gastrointestinal surgical problems, which
predominantly involve Gastrointestinal cancers, Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic diseases, Colorectal
surgery and Minimal Access surgery and Diagnostic &
Therapeutic Endoscopies are done.
Through infrastructure organized around interest
groups oriented toward disease processes, organ
systems, procedures or patient groups, clinical
expertise is integrated with the newest forms of
established and experimental diagnostic and
therapeutic methods. Outpatients and patients in the
hospital are cared for by teams of physicians and
allied health personnel with broad expertise in all
forms of gastroenterological and hepatobiliary
diseases.
Because of our recognition that high-quality care
depends upon scientific discovery, major research
programs at the basic, applied, and translational
levels exist to generate new knowledge that
ultimately benefits patients.
