institution.

Esophageal Lab:

Esophageal Lab, which comprises UGI scopy, high resolution manometry, timed barium swallow study, 24 hrs esophageal pH and impedance study, enables comprehensive understanding of esophageal symptoms. This paves way for offering right solutions for complex esophageal disorders.

Innovative Endoscopy Techniques, first of its kind in India

Catheter Pull Sign and Red Catheter Sign, Life saving technique to prevent post puncture bleed during Glue Therapy for gastric fundal variceal bleed.
Double step invagination technique for retrieval of embedded metallic stent in esophagus.
Novel technique for removal of foreign body in rectum.
