Gastroscopy, also known as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure performed by Dr. Lalji Patel to evaluate and diagnose conditions affecting the upper digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
Comprehensive Evaluation: During a gastroscopy procedure, Dr. Patel uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at the tip, called an endoscope, to examine the lining of your upper digestive tract in real-time. This allows him to visually inspect for abnormalities such as ulcers, inflammation, tumors, or signs of bleeding.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Capabilities: In addition to visual inspection, gastroscopy provides the capability for diagnostic sampling and therapeutic interventions. Dr. Patel can take tissue samples (biopsies) for further analysis, remove polyps, stop bleeding, dilate strictures, or place stents to alleviate blockages.

He works closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and preferences. emphasizes the importance of follow-up care to monitor your progress and ensure optimal outcomes.

Doctor and his team will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible throughout the examination.
The duration of a gastroscopy procedure can vary but generally takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Factors such as the complexity of the examination, any additional procedures performed (such as biopsies or therapeutic interventions), and patient comfort may affect the overall time. Doctor will provide you with detailed instructions and information about what to expect before, during, and after the procedure
While gastroscopy is considered a safe procedure, there are minimal risks and potential complications, including bleeding, perforation (tear) of the digestive tract lining, and adverse reactions to sedation or anesthesia. These risks are rare and are typically outweighed by the benefits of the procedure in diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal conditions. Doctor will discuss the potential risks and benefits with you beforehand and take appropriate measures to minimize any complications.
