The Gastrointestinal and Liver Center offers professional consultations, diagnostics, and treatments for a full spectrum of gastrointestinal and liver conditions, ranging from common ailments to complex disorders, including:

• Abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and abnormal bowel habits
• Gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcers
• Enteritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
• Polyps and colorectal/gastrointestinal cancers
• Liver diseases, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease
• Gallbladder diseases, gallstones, and bile duct disorders
• Pancreatic diseases and gastrointestinal bleeding

Medical Innovations and Advanced Treatments

• ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): An endoscopic procedure used to examine the bile and pancreatic ducts. The endoscope is passed through the mouth down to the duodenum, where a contrast dye is injected into the ducts for visualization. Therapeutic interventions can be performed simultaneously, such as removing bile duct stones or inserting a stent to relieve biliary obstruction.
• Fibroscan: A non-invasive technology that uses electromagnetic waves to measure liver stiffness (fibrosis) and quantify liver fat accumulation (steatosis). Serving as an alternative to a liver biopsy, this procedure helps prognosticate potential complications and reduces hospitalization costs.
• POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy): An advanced endoscopic surgical technique used to treat achalasia (the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax).
• Urea Breath Test: A non-invasive breath test used to detect Helicobacter pylori (*H. pylori*) bacterial infection in the stomach.
• Capsule Endoscopy: A diagnostic procedure where the patient swallows a vitamin-sized capsule containing a camera to visualize the gastrointestinal tract.
• Narrow Band Imaging (NBI): An advanced endoscopic technology used during gastroscopy and colonoscopy to enhance the visualization of mucosal surfaces and vascular patterns for early detection of abnormalities.
