Overview
The Department of Medical Gastroenterology at Baby Memorial Hospital is a specialised centre committed to the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of diseases affecting the digestive system and liver. Designed as a high-precision, minimally invasive treatment hub, the department addresses a wide range of conditions involving the oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, liver, and biliary tract. Our team of expert gastroenterologists and interventional endoscopists ensures early detection and timely treatment, supported by the latest advancements in endoscopic and imaging technologies.
The department is equipped with ultra-modern endoscopy suites, enabling comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), and Upper and Lower GI Endoscopy. These facilities allow for highly accurate evaluation of gastrointestinal bleeding, gallstones, pancreatitis, strictures, malignancies, and functional disorders, often avoiding the need for major surgery.
We also offer advanced therapeutic interventions including endoscopic variceal ligation, polypectomy, stricture dilatation, biliary/pancreatic stenting, and PEG tube placement. These procedures are conducted under sedation using high-definition video endoscopy systems, ensuring patient comfort, rapid recovery, and reduced hospital stays.
Conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), liver cirrhosis, and gastrointestinal cancers are managed through integrated care pathways, where diagnostic precision and medical expertise lead to enhanced clinical outcomes.
Our department also provides round-the-clock emergency endoscopy services for acute GI bleeding and cholangitis, supported by a dedicated endoscopy team and critical care specialists. Emphasising safety, accuracy, and patient-centred care, the Medical Gastroenterology unit at Baby Memorial Hospital is a trusted destination for thousands of patients across Kerala and South India.
