With a focus on patient comfort and long-term health, we combine clinical experience with modern technology to deliver reliable and compassionate care for every individual.
Advanced Upper GI Endoscopy
Advanced Upper GI Endoscopy is a state-of-the-art procedure used to examine the upper part of the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we utilize high-resolution endoscopic technology to accurately diagnose conditions such as ulcers, acid reflux, gastrointestinal bleeding, celiac disease, and early-stage cancers. This minimally invasive test is performed under sedation, ensuring maximum comfort. It also allows for real-time therapeutic interventions like biopsy, polyp removal, and bleeding control, making it a powerful tool in both diagnosis and treatment. Early detection through endoscopy leads to quicker recovery and significantly improves patient outcomes.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the rectum and the lower part of the colon (sigmoid colon). At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we perform this test to evaluate symptoms like persistent rectal bleeding, unexplained abdominal pain, chronic constipation or diarrhea, and suspected polyps. Using a flexible tube with a light and camera, our specialists gain clear, direct visualization of the intestinal lining, enabling precise diagnosis. It is typically done without full sedation, making it a shorter and simpler alternative to colonoscopy. This procedure plays a key role in early detection of colorectal abnormalities, including pre-cancerous changes, and allows for immediate biopsy or minor interventions. Our expert team ensures the process is both safe and comfortable, with minimal downtime for the patient.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is a comprehensive diagnostic procedure used to examine the inner lining of the large intestine (colon and rectum) for abnormalities such as polyps, tumors, ulcers, and inflammation. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we use advanced high-definition scopes to ensure a thorough evaluation. It is recommended for patients experiencing persistent abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or changes in bowel habits, and for those undergoing routine colon cancer screening. During the procedure, which is performed under sedation, our specialists can also remove polyps or take tissue samples for biopsy. Colonoscopy plays a vital role in early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer. We ensure strict hygiene protocols, personalized care, and post-procedure follow-up to provide our patients with the highest level of safety and confidence.
Endoscopic Variceal Banding (EVL)
Endoscopic Variceal Banding is a critical life-saving procedure used to manage esophageal varices—swollen veins in the esophagus caused by liver cirrhosis or portal hypertension. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, our specialists perform this procedure using an endoscope to place small elastic bands around the enlarged veins to stop or prevent bleeding. It is commonly used in patients with a history of vomiting blood or internal bleeding. The procedure is minimally invasive, performed under sedation, and does not require surgery. Regular EVL sessions may be advised to reduce the risk of recurrent bleeding. Our team ensures a comprehensive follow-up plan, including medications and liver care, to support long-term health and stability.
Foreign Body Removal
Foreign body removal is a procedure performed to extract objects that may have been accidentally swallowed or lodged in the gastrointestinal tract. These objects can range from food items to small objects like coins, toys, or dental materials. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we utilize advanced endoscopic techniques to safely remove foreign bodies, minimizing discomfort and ensuring a quick recovery. This procedure is typically recommended for patients who are experiencing symptoms like pain, nausea, or difficulty swallowing due to a foreign object. Our experienced specialists use state-of-the-art equipment to locate and remove the object with precision, often under sedation for patient comfort. We prioritize safety and provide thorough post-procedure care to prevent complications, ensuring our patients are on the road to recovery as soon as possible.
Polypectomy
Polypectomy is a procedure used to remove polyps (abnormal growths) from the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the colon and rectum. Polyps can vary in size and shape and are often asymptomatic, but some can develop into cancer over time. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we perform polypectomies using advanced endoscopic techniques to remove these growths safely and effectively. The procedure is typically performed during a colonoscopy, allowing our specialists to remove the polyp while visually inspecting the area. Depending on the size and location of the polyp, our team may use specialized instruments to snare and excise the tissue. Polypectomy plays a crucial role in the early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer. We ensure a seamless, comfortable experience for our patients with sedation, minimal discomfort, and thorough post-procedure monitoring.
Peg Tube Placement
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement is a procedure used to provide long-term nutrition for patients who are unable to eat orally due to various medical conditions such as neurological disorders, head and neck cancers, or gastrointestinal issues. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we use advanced endoscopic techniques to place a PEG tube directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall, ensuring a safe and effective feeding solution. The procedure is minimally invasive, performed under local anesthesia and sedation, and typically takes less than 30 minutes. Post-procedure, our specialists provide comprehensive care, educating patients and caregivers on tube management, feeding protocols, and potential complications. PEG tube placement ensures that patients can receive adequate nutrition, aiding in recovery, improving quality of life, and promoting overall health.
Dilatation
Dilatation is a procedure used to widen narrowed areas (strictures) in the gastrointestinal tract, which may occur due to conditions like esophageal strictures, gastric outlet obstruction, or Crohn’s disease. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we perform dilatation using specialized balloons or bougies, guided by endoscopic techniques, to carefully stretch and expand the narrowed passage. The procedure is typically performed under sedation to ensure patient comfort, and it can help improve symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, nausea, or vomiting. Dilatation offers significant relief to patients suffering from obstructed or constricted areas of the digestive tract, enhancing their ability to eat and digest food. Our skilled team provides careful monitoring during and after the procedure to ensure the best outcomes and minimize complications.
Sclerotherapy for Bleeding Ulcer
Sclerotherapy is a procedure used to treat bleeding ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the esophagus or stomach. It involves injecting a sclerosing agent directly into the ulcer or bleeding vessel, causing it to coagulate and stop bleeding. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we use advanced endoscopic techniques to guide the injection precisely, ensuring a safe and effective treatment. Sclerotherapy is particularly useful in managing variceal bleeding, often seen in patients with liver disease or cirrhosis. The procedure is minimally invasive and is typically performed under sedation for patient comfort. Our specialists closely monitor patients during and after the procedure to ensure successful outcomes and to prevent further complications. Sclerotherapy provides a critical therapeutic option for controlling acute bleeding and improving patient stability.
Ascitic Fluid Removal
Ascitic fluid removal, also known as paracentesis, is a procedure used to extract excess fluid from the abdomen, commonly caused by liver disease such as cirrhosis or heart failure. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we perform this procedure using a sterile technique and ultrasound guidance to ensure accuracy and minimize discomfort. Ascites, the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, can cause symptoms like bloating, difficulty breathing, and abdominal pain. The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort. After identifying the fluid accumulation site, our specialists insert a needle or catheter to drain the excess fluid safely. Removing ascitic fluid provides immediate symptom relief, improves quality of life, and can help with the diagnosis of underlying conditions.
24 Hr pH with Impedance Monitoring
24-hour pH with impedance monitoring is a specialized diagnostic procedure used to evaluate acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This test measures both the acidity (pH) and non-acid reflux activity in the esophagus over a 24-hour period, providing valuable insights into reflux episodes and their impact on the esophageal lining. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we use a small catheter or wireless probe placed in the esophagus to monitor pH levels and impedance, offering a comprehensive assessment of reflux patterns. The procedure helps diagnose conditions like GERD, esophagitis, and atypical reflux symptoms such as chronic cough or throat irritation. Patients are encouraged to maintain their normal daily activities during the test, and the results provide our specialists with critical information to tailor treatment plans, ensuring the most effective management of reflux-related conditions.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) combines endoscopy and ultrasound to obtain detailed images of the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding organs like the pancreas and liver. It is used to evaluate conditions such as pancreatitis, tumors, and esophageal disorders. A small ultrasound probe attached to an endoscope provides high-resolution images, helping to diagnose issues that other imaging methods may miss. EUS also enables fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for biopsy. This procedure is performed under sedation for patient comfort. It is minimally invasive, with minimal recovery time. EUS is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Our specialists ensure safety and comfort throughout the procedure.
ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
ERCP is a specialized procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas. It combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to evaluate blockages, stones, or tumors in these areas. At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, ERCP is performed using a flexible endoscope inserted through the mouth, allowing our specialists to access the bile and pancreatic ducts. The procedure is commonly used to remove gallstones, place stents, or obtain tissue samples. ERCP is minimally invasive and is typically performed under sedation for patient comfort. It plays a crucial role in managing conditions like jaundice, pancreatitis, and bile duct obstructions. Post-procedure care is essential for a smooth recovery.
