Endoscopic Ultrasound

At Complete Gastro Care Hospital, we are dedicated to providing state-of-the-art Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) services to diagnose and treat complex gastrointestinal conditions with precision and minimal invasiveness. EUS combines high-frequency ultrasound with endoscopy, allowing our expert gastroenterologists to obtain detailed images and perform targeted interventions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and adjacent organs.

Diagnostic Capabilities

EUS is instrumental in the accurate diagnosis and staging of various GI disorders, including

  • Pancreatic Cancer: EUS provides detailed imaging of the pancreas and surrounding structures, aiding in the detection of tumors and assessment of their size and extent.

  • Bile Duct Disorders: It helps in visualizing and diagnosing conditions such as bile duct stones, strictures, and tumors.

  • Submucosal Lesions: EUS can identify and characterize submucosal tumors (e.g., gastrointestinal stromal tumors) that may not be visible with other imaging techniques.

Therapeutic Interventions

In addition to diagnosis, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy offers therapeutic options for treating certain conditions:

  • Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA): Precise biopsy sampling of suspicious lesions or lymph nodes for pathological evaluation.

  • Cyst Drainage: EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts or other fluid collections, reducing the need for surgical intervention.

  • Palliative Treatments: EUS can deliver therapeutic interventions such as stent placement to relieve obstructed bile ducts or esophagus due to tumors.
