MEDICAL GASTROENTEROLOGY

Medical Gastroenterology at Sentini City Hospital

At Sentini City Hospital, our Medical Gastroenterology department is dedicated to providing top-tier care for patients with digestive disorders. Our team of skilled gastroenterologists is committed to diagnosing and managing a range of conditions affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, liver, pancreas, and biliary system, utilizing non-surgical, patient-centered approaches. With cutting-edge technology, advanced diagnostics, and a multidisciplinary care model, we strive to deliver personalized treatment plans that address each patient’s unique needs.

Scope of Medical Gastroenterology Services

Our Medical Gastroenterology department offers comprehensive management for various digestive system disorders, including but not limited to:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Chronic acid reflux can significantly impact quality of life. Our gastroenterologists offer effective management through lifestyle modifications, medications to reduce acid production, and monitoring to prevent complications.

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): IBS requires individualized care due to its range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits. We provide dietary guidance, stress management, and pharmacologic therapies to help patients manage this complex condition.

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): For patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, our specialists develop long-term treatment plans using anti-inflammatory medications, immunomodulators, and biologic therapies to control symptoms and prevent complications.

• Liver Disorders: From viral hepatitis and fatty liver disease to cirrhosis, our team addresses liver conditions with lifestyle modifications, medications, and monitoring for potential complications. We work closely with hepatologists and other specialists to provide holistic liver care.

• Pancreatic Disorders: Conditions like pancreatitis and pancreatic enzyme deficiencies are managed through dietary recommendations, enzyme replacement, and tailored therapies to enhance digestive health.

• Colorectal Cancer Screening and Prevention: Preventive screening is a vital part of gastroenterology. We emphasize regular colonoscopies and other screenings to detect and address potential issues early, significantly reducing the risk of colorectal cancer.

Advanced Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures

Sentini City Hospital’s Medical Gastroenterology department uses state-of-the-art technology to accurately diagnose and treat a range of conditions. Our specialists are skilled in various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including:

• Endoscopy: Through upper endoscopy, our gastroenterologists can diagnose and treat esophageal, stomach, and duodenal issues. Colonoscopy enables visualization and biopsy of the colon, essential for managing conditions like IBD, polyps, and colorectal cancer screening.

• ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): This advanced technique helps diagnose and treat bile duct and pancreatic duct disorders, often avoiding the need for surgery.

• EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound): A high-precision diagnostic tool, EUS provides detailed imaging of the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding organs, aiding in the assessment of conditions affecting the pancreas, liver, and lymph nodes.

• Capsule Endoscopy: For small intestine examination, capsule endoscopy allows patients to swallow a small camera that captures images as it passes through the digestive tract, detecting abnormalities that are otherwise difficult to diagnose.

Patient-Centered and Collaborative Care

Our gastroenterology team adopts a multidisciplinary approach, working closely with radiologists, pathologists, hepatologists, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive care. This collaborative model enables us to create individualized treatment plans that integrate diagnostic findings, lifestyle factors, and any additional health considerations.

Preventive Care and Patient Education

Sentini City Hospital’s Medical Gastroenterology department emphasizes preventive care and patient education as essential components of long-term digestive health. Our gastroenterologists work closely with patients to understand the underlying causes of their symptoms and provide guidance on dietary and lifestyle adjustments that promote better health outcomes. Preventive screenings, such as routine colonoscopies for colorectal cancer, are a core service that enables early detection and intervention for GI conditions.

Technological Innovation and Continuous Advancement

Our department is dedicated to staying at the forefront of medical gastroenterology. As technology advances, so do our diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.
