What is an Interventional Endoscopist and how is it different from a regular one?
A regular endoscopist primarily performs diagnostic checks to look inside the body. An Interventional Endoscopist like Dr. Radhika Chavan uses advanced tools and specialized training to actually treat the problem during the procedure such as removing stones from the bile duct (ERCP), draining cysts, or performing biopsies (EUS). These minimally invasive procedures often help the patient avoid open surgeries and ensure faster recovery times, lesser pain, and precise clinical outcomes.
Can Chronic Pancreatitis be managed without major surgery?
Yes. Through advanced EUS-guided treatments and specialized celiac plexus neurolysis (for pain management), Dr. Radhika Chavan, a trusted EUS and ERCP specialist in Pune, can significantly improve the quality of life for patients with pancreatitis, focusing on minimally invasive relief rather than traditional surgery.
What is ERCP? What is it used for?
ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is a specialized, minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. It combines the use of a flexible endoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and X-ray imaging. Interventional Endoscopists like Dr. Radhika Chavan use ERCP primarily as a treatment tool rather than just for diagnosis. It is commonly used to:
- Remove stones
- Relieve jaundice
- Repair leaks
- Biopsy
Because it is performed through the mouth while you are under sedation, ERCP often eliminates the need for traditional open surgery, leading to a much faster recovery and no external scars.
What is EUS? What is it used for?
EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound) is a specialized procedure that combines endoscopy with ultrasound to get detailed images of the digestive tract and surrounding organs like the pancreas and liver. It helps doctors to identify, evaluate, and diagnose gastrointestinal and pancreatic disorders.
It is used to stage cancers, evaluate chronic pancreatitis, and visualize hidden areas of the digestive tract that regular scans might miss. It also allows for EUS-FNA, a way to take a needle biopsy of internal organs without an external incision.
What is POEM? What is it used for?
POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy) is a revolutionary, “incision-less” endoscopic surgery performed entirely through the mouth.
It is the gold-standard treatment for Achalasia Cardia, a condition where the esophagus cannot move food into the stomach. By cutting the tight muscle at the base of the esophagus from the inside, POEM restores normal swallowing without any external scars on the body.
What is EMR? What is it used for?
EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection) is a specialized technique used to remove abnormal tissues or early-stage tumors from the lining of the digestive tract. It is primarily used to remove large polyps or early-stage cancers in the esophagus, stomach, or colon. By lifting the lesion with a liquid injection and removing it safely, EMR often eliminates the need for traditional, invasive surgery.
What is ESD? What is it used for?
ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) is an advanced, high-precision endoscopic procedure used to remove deeper or more complex growths from the GI tract wall in one single piece. It is typically used for larger tumors or early-stage gastrointestinal cancers that have a higher risk of spreading. Because it removes the entire lesion intact, it provides a much more accurate diagnosis and a lower chance of the tumor returning.
