ERCP | London Gastro Care

ERCP is a procedure that uses an endoscope and X-rays to look at your bile duct and pancreatic duct. ERCP can also be used to remove gallstones or take small samples of tissue for analysis (a biopsy).

What happens during ERCP

The endoscope also has a ‘side channel’ down which various tubes or instruments can pass. These can be manipulated by the doctor who can do various things. For example:

Inject a dye into the bile and pancreatic ducts. X-ray pictures taken immediately after the injection of dye show up the detail of the ducts. This may show narrowing (stricture), stuck gallstones, tumours pressing on the ducts, etc.

Take a small sample (biopsy) from the lining of the duodenum, stomach, or pancreatic or bile duct near to the opening called the papilla. The biopsy sample can be looked at under the microscope to check for abnormal tissue and cells.

If the X-rays show a gallstone stuck in the duct, the doctor can widen the opening of the papilla to let the stone out into the duodenum. A stone can be grabbed by a ‘basket’ or left to be passed out with the stools (faeces).

If the X-rays show a narrowing or blockage in the bile duct, the doctor can put a stent inside to open it wide. A stent is a small wire-mesh or plastic tube. This then allows bile to drain into the duodenum in the normal way. You will not be aware of a stent, which can remain permanently in place.

The endoscope is gently pulled out when the procedure is finished. An ERCP can take anything from 30 minutes to over an hour, depending on what is don

April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month. Let’s talk about risk factors of Esophageal Cancer.

Individual’s risk of developing esophageal cancer during his or her lifetime is 0.5 percent. Five-year survival rate for esophageal cancer is an average 20 percent.

Types of esophageal cancer:

Squamous cell carcinoma, which typically affects the upper and middle part of the esophagus

Adenocarcinoma, which usually occurs in the lower part of the esophagus

Esophageal cancer often does not cause symptoms in its early stages. However, as it progresses individuals can experience:

Difficult or painful swallowing

Weight loss

Hoarseness

Cough that does not go away

Indigestion or Heartburn

Vomiting

Because symptoms usually do not appear until the disease is advanced, esophageal cancer is also one of the most difficult cancers to treat.

Risk factors for esophageal cancer includes:

Smoking

Drinking alcohol

Having Long-term acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Barrett’s esophagus

Obesity

Poor nutrition

Men are also approximately three times more likely to develop esophageal cancer than women.

Prevention:

Avoid using tobacco products

Stop consuming alcohol

Treat obesity

Get treated for reflux or Barrett’s esophagus

Eating non-starchy vegetables and whole fruit probably lowers risk.

Regular physical activity lowers risk

Having one or all of these risk factors does not mean that one will develop esophageal cancer.  Also, not having any risk factors does not mean that one will never develop esophageal cancer. Raising awareness of risk factors associated with esophageal cancer is one way to help reduce the incidence of an esophageal cancer.  People who are considered to be at an elevated risk should consult their doctor immediately about getting screened as early as possible.

Early detection can improve the chances of survival if cancer is found in the esophagus.   There are also more treatment options available for early esophageal cancer and better outcomes.

What is Colonoscopy | London gastro care

A colonoscopy is an outpatient procedure.

London Gastro Care is one of the best clinics in Hyderabad

where you can get a colonoscopy. Dr. Chandra Puli is among the very best. He has performed many procedures in Hyderabad and London. A colonoscopy is an outpatient procedure that is done to examine the inside of the large intestine (colon and rectum). The examination uses an instrument called a colonoscope (sometimes called a scope). This flexible instrument, is very long and includes a camera and the ability to remove tissue (you do not feel tissue being removed). A colonoscopy is commonly used to evaluate gastrointestinal symptoms, such as bleeding, abdominal pain or changes in bowel habits (how often you poop, how easily you poop, and the color and consistency of your poop).When is colonoscopy used?

Colonoscopy is used to examine the large bowel for various GI symptoms, mainly diarrhea, change in bowel habits, blood in the stools, IBD, IBS, Bowel cancer screening, and Polyps removal. Dr Chandra Puli has performed more than few thousand of these procedures over 12 years of his experience in Gastroenterology safely and with greater success as assessed by JAG KPI’s. Dr Chandra Puli has a special interest and skills in removing large polyps which otherwise would require surgeries.

How to prepare for a colonoscopy?

Colonoscopy results would be best if the colon is clean, so your doctor can give you the best results and also remove the polyps at the same time if your colon is clean.
