Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a highly advanced, minimally invasive procedure that combines endoscopy and ultrasound to obtain detailed images of the digestive tract and surrounding organs. At Prathima Institute of Gastroenterology, EUS plays a crucial role in the early and accurate diagnosis of complex gastrointestinal, pancreatic, biliary, and mediastinal conditions.
EUS uses a thin, flexible tube (endoscope) with a high-frequency ultrasound probe at its tip. This allows doctors to visualize the layers of the gastrointestinal wall and nearby structures such as the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, lymph nodes, and bile ducts with exceptional clarity—far more detailed than conventional imaging in many cases.
When is EUS Recommended?
EUS is commonly advised for:
Evaluation of pancreatic diseases and pancreatic masses
Staging of gastrointestinal cancers (esophagus, stomach, rectum)
Assessment of bile duct and gallbladder disorders
Detection of submucosal tumors and cysts
Investigation of unexplained abdominal pain or abnormal scans
Expert gastroenterologists trained in advanced EUS techniques
State-of-the-art endoscopy and ultrasound technology
Comprehensive diagnosis and personalized treatment planning
Patient-centric care with a focus on safety and accuracy
If you or your doctor require precise evaluation of gastrointestinal or pancreatic conditions, Endoscopic Ultrasound at Prathima Institute of Gastroenterology offers clarity, confidence, and compassionate care. For appointments or more information, please contact our gastroenterology department.
Spiral enteroscopy involves inserting a tube with a rotating spiral overtube into the small intestine. The spiral mechanism allows for smooth and controlled advancement and withdrawal of the endoscope, enabling deeper access to the small bowel.
It is typically used when less invasive methods fail or when deeper access to the small intestine is required for diagnosis or treatment.
It is used for small bowel bleeding, tumors, Crohn’s disease, polyps, strictures, and foreign body removal.
Surgical spiral enteroscopy typically lasts 1–3 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Recovery involves short hospital observation, and most patients resume normal activities within a few days.
