Endoscopic Surgery in Jalpaiguri

Endoscopic Surgery in Jalpaiguri is performed using a scope, a flexible tube with a camera and light at the tip. This allows your surgeon to see inside your colon and perform procedures without making major incisions, allowing for easier recovery time and less pain and discomfort. Endoscopic procedures are most often used for diagnosis.

Snaring is the most common surgical procedure that can be performed through any of the endoscopes. A snare is a wire that is like a lasso. The snare is looped over the tumor and tightened; then the wire is electrified to prevent bleeding as it cuts through.

Dr. Rajat Kumar Bhattacharjee perform Endoscopic Surgery in Jalpaiguri to achieve surgeries may include:

Colonoscopy

During this procedure, the anus, rectum and colon are examined using a colonoscope, a flexible tube with a camera and light at the tip. The inside of the colon is examined carefully, looking for signs of disease. A biopsy, a small piece of tissue, may be taken at this time, for later examination under a microscope. Dr. Rajat Kumar Bhattacharjee do the Colonoscopy in Jalpaiguri at Doctor’s Care Polyclinic & Diagnostic Centre.

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

During this procedure, the rectum and sigmoid colon are examined using a scope, similar to a colonoscope. The flexible sigmoidoscope is 65 cm long and is used to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon.

The rigid sigmoidoscopy

The rigid sigmoidoscope is 25cm long and is generally used to examine the rectum.

Anoscopy

During this procedure, your doctor will examine the inside of the anus and anal canal with the anoscope. The surgeon may remove a small piece of tissue, called a biopsy. This biopsy will be examined under a microscope later for signs of disease by a pathologist, a doctor who is expert in looking at cells under the microscope.

Endoscopic Foreign Body Removal

People sometimes swallow food or foreign bodies that become stuck in the digestive tract. Usually, the items pass through the digestive tract and are excreted from the body in stool. When a foreign object does not pass from the body on its own, you may need a procedure to remove it.

Endoscopic foreign body removal is a minimally invasive procedure to remove items that have been swallowed and become stuck in the digestive tract. (If an object becomes lodged in the airway and obstructs breathing, emergency medical attention is required.)

A person who swallowed a foreign object may feel that something is stuck in the throat and may have difficulty swallowing. Doctors typically perform an upper endoscopy, also known as an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), to remove the object.

During the EGD, the doctor examines the lining of the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach and upper part of the small intestine, to check for damage.

Upper GI Endoscopy

An upper GI endoscopy in Jalpaiguri or EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) is a procedure to diagnose and treat problems in your upper GI (gastrointestinal) tract.

The upper GI tract includes your food pipe (esophagus), stomach, and the first part of your small intestine (the duodenum).

This procedure is done using a long, flexible tube called an endoscope. The tube has a tiny light and video camera on one end. The tube is put into your mouth and throat. Then it is slowly pushed through your esophagus and stomach, and into your duodenum. Video images from the tube are seen on a monitor.

Small tools may also be inserted into the endoscope. These tools can be used to:

Take tissue samples for a biopsy
Remove things such as food that may be stuck in the upper GI tract
Inject air or fluid
Stop bleeding
Do procedures such as endoscopic surgery, laser therapy, or open (dilate) a narrowed area
