Treatment through the endoscope
Advanced (therapeutic) endoscopy treats conditions that once needed open surgery — removing bile duct stones, draining blockages, treating achalasia and removing early cancers — through the mouth or back passage, without any cut on the skin. Recovery is faster and hospital stays are shorter.
Dr. Kalia performs these procedures at Fortis Hospital, Noida, which has the imaging, anaesthesia and inpatient support they need. Initial consultations and follow-up can be done at the Vasundhara clinic.
Procedures
EUS – Endoscopic Ultrasound
An ultrasound probe on the tip of an endoscope gives close-up images of the pancreas, bile ducts and gut wall — and allows needle biopsies.
ERCP
Endoscopic removal of bile duct stones and placement of stents to relieve jaundice caused by blockage — without open surgery.
POEM / Third-Space Endoscopy
Endoscopic treatment for achalasia (POEM) and removal of early cancers (ESD) by working within the layers of the gut wall.
Enteroscopy & Capsule Evaluation
Examining the small intestine — the part a normal endoscopy or colonoscopy cannot reach — with a swallowable camera capsule or a long enteroscope.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Most patients have their first consultation and reports reviewed at the clinic, and the procedure is then scheduled at Fortis Hospital, Noida.
It depends on the procedure. EUS is often done as a day procedure; ERCP and POEM usually involve a short hospital stay.
