Gastroenterology Services | One-Stop Solution For Digestive Diseases

What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is a medical field focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and associated organs like the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Gastroenterologists specialise in conditions such as GERD, ulcers, inflammatory bowel diseases, liver diseases, pancreatitis, and gallbladder disorders. They employ various diagnostic techniques and treatments, including endoscopic procedures, medication, and lifestyle adjustments, to improve patients' digestive health and overall well-being.

What is Hepatology?

Hepatology is the medical specialty focused on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of liver-related diseases and disorders. Hepatologists are experts in understanding the liver's structure, function, and its role in various bodily processes such as metabolism, digestion, and detoxification. Common conditions treated by hepatologists include hepatitis (viral and non-viral), fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and autoimmune liver diseases. Hepatology encompasses both medical management and advanced interventions such as liver transplantation, making it crucial in addressing a wide range of liver health issues.

What is Pancreatology?

Pancreatology is the specialised field of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders related to the pancreas. This includes conditions such as pancreatitis (acute and chronic inflammation of the pancreas), pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cysts, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours. Pancreatology integrates expertise from various medical disciplines including gastroenterology, oncology, and surgery due to the complex nature of pancreatic diseases. Pancreatic disorders can significantly impact digestion, blood sugar regulation, and overall health, making early diagnosis and comprehensive management vital in improving patient outcomes.
