Paediatric Gastroenterology

Paediatric Gastroenterology in Yeshwanthpur

A child's body is constantly growing, and their medical needs are specific. Thus, they require the best care possible. If your kid is suffering from constipation, nausea, hepatitis, poor weight gain, reflux or liver failure you need an experienced gastroenterologist. Paediatric gastroenterology specialists offer outpatient and inpatient treatment for children with digestive problems.

Paediatric gastroenterologists consult with the child's medical team. This ensures that children receive the best healthcare treatment. Each child's healthcare plan is unique, and the child's current and potential medical needs are taken into account. Paediatric Gastroenterology in Yeshwanthpur is available at Manipal Hospitals.

Procedures and Treatment

The doctors provide best paediatric endoscopy diagnosis, such as Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, a diagnostic and therapeutic treatment in which the specialist puts an endoscope via the mouth inside the throat into the oesophagus. This allows the clinician to examine pictures of the oesophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine.

  • Colonoscopy (Argon Laser Coagulation)

The endoscope is passed via the rectum into the large intestine (colon) to examine the sections of the intestine. The colon is inspected using either sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy treatments. This allows the doctor to examine the whole colon and treat any anomalies as well as various conditions such as polyp removal.

  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

The medical team also employs a type of endoscopy treatment known as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, or ERCP, which allows the doctor to study images of the gallbladder and adjacent tissues. ERCP is also used for stent insertion and biopsies.

  • Capsule Endoscopy

The doctor employs capsule endoscopy, a technique that uses a little wireless camera to allow doctors to view the small intestine. Thousands of images are taken while the camera moves through your body. These scans are then analysed to detect any abnormalities in the child's gastrointestinal tract.

  • Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)

Endoscopic ultrasonography is a procedure that employs an endoscope with an ultrasound connected to identify various disorders including the pancreas, lymphatic nodes, and liver. The doctor also utilises EUS to do FNAC and biopsy on patients as well as for clinical treatment.

  • Dilatation of Esophageal/GI Structure

A highly qualified professional with a specialised balloon (CRE) or bougie performs this treatment over a paediatric patient suffering from pylorus (opening in the stomach), collapsed oesophagus, or any other element of the intestine. Book an appointment at our multi-speciality hospital today.

  • Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG)

If a patient has difficulty swallowing, this is the most secure approach to delivering meals, liquids, and medicines.

  • Esophageal and Anorectal Manometry

If a patient has trouble swallowing, constipation or faecal incontinence, then this procedure is performed by doctors to find the cause of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) by inserting a manometry probe in the oesophagus or the rectum.

  • Esophageal pH Monitoring and Impedance Study

A specially constructed probe is put into the oesophagus and placed there to monitor the pH or quantity of acid that flows into the oesophagus from the stomach. This method aids in the diagnosis of GERD or chronic aspiration.
