Upper GI Endoscopy treatment in Pune and PCMC

Upper Endoscopy

Upper endoscopy, also known as EGD, is a procedure in which a thin scope with a light and camera at its tip is used to look inside the upper digestive tract — the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum.

Usually performed as an outpatient procedure, upper endoscopy sometimes must be performed in the hospital or emergency room to both identify and treat conditions such as upper digestive system bleeding.

Dr. Prasad Bhate is treating the variotus stomach disease with the help of the ERCP.

The procedure is commonly used to help identify the causes of:

Abdominal or chest pain
Nausea and vomiting
Heartburn
Bleeding
Swallowing problems
