What is Medical Gastroenterology?

Medical Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, medical management, and prevention of disorders of the digestive tract, liver, pancreas, and biliary system. At Mallige Hospital, our gastroenterologists use advanced diagnostics and evidence-based therapies to treat conditions ranging from acid reflux and hepatitis to inflammatory bowel disease and complex liver disorders.

FAQs

Upper GI Endoscopy is a procedure using a thin, flexible tube with a camera to inspect the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine. It helps diagnose ulcers, inflammation, tumours, and swallowing disorders.

Colonoscopy involves inserting a colonoscope into the rectum to examine the entire large intestine. It detects polyps, inflammation, and colorectal cancer early, and allows for biopsy or polyp removal.

Liver Disease Management encompasses diagnosis and treatment of conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. We use imaging, blood tests, and liver elastography to guide medication, lifestyle changes, and procedural therapies.

ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) and EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound) are advanced endoscopic techniques. ERCP visualizes and treats bile and pancreatic ducts, while EUS uses ultrasound at the tip of the endoscope for high-resolution imaging of the GI tract and surrounding organs.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—chronic inflammatory conditions of the GI tract. Our team manages IBD with medication, dietary guidance, biologic therapies, and regular monitoring to maintain remission.

A polypectomy is the removal of abnormal tissue growths (polyps) from the colon or rectum. This is often done during a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy.

A sigmoidoscopy is a medical procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera (sigmoidoscope) to examine the lower part of the large intestine (sigmoid colon and rectum). It helps detect abnormalities such as inflammation, bleeding, or growths.
