Welcome to the Gastroenterology Department at Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital. Our Gastroenterology Department specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders related to the digestive system. We have a team of highly skilled gastroenterologists who are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with gastrointestinal conditions.
Gastroenterology is a medical specialty that focuses on the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Our Gastroenterology Department offers a wide range of services, including:
- Diagnostic Procedures: We perform a variety of diagnostic procedures to evaluate gastrointestinal conditions. These may include endoscopy, colonoscopy, upper gastrointestinal (GI) series, endoscopic ultrasound, and capsule endoscopy. These procedures allow us to visualize the digestive tract, obtain tissue samples for biopsy, and make accurate diagnoses.
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): We diagnose and treat GERD, a condition characterized by acid reflux and heartburn. Our gastroenterologists may recommend lifestyle modifications, medications to reduce acid production, and in some cases, surgical interventions to manage GERD and prevent complications.
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): We provide comprehensive care for patients with inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Our gastroenterologists develop individualized treatment plans that may include medications, nutritional therapy, and ongoing monitoring to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
- Liver Diseases: We diagnose and manage various liver diseases, including viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Our gastroenterologists work closely with hepatologists and liver transplant specialists to provide comprehensive care for patients with liver disorders.
- Gallbladder and Biliary Diseases: We evaluate and treat conditions affecting the gallbladder and bile ducts, such as gallstones, gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), and biliary obstruction. Our gastroenterologists may recommend lifestyle modifications, medications, or surgical interventions, including minimally invasive procedures, to manage these conditions.
- Pancreatic Disorders: We specialize in the diagnosis and management of pancreatic disorders, including pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, and pancreatic cancer. Our gastroenterologists work in collaboration with pancreatic surgeons and oncologists to provide comprehensive care and develop personalized treatment plans.
- Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders: We diagnose and manage functional gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia. Our gastroenterologists provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and medications to help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
