What Is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is the study of the digestive system.

The digestive system helps break down food.

It also helps the body absorb nutrients.

Important digestive organs include:

• Food pipe (esophagus)
• Stomach
• Small intestine
• Large intestine
• Liver
• Pancreas
• Gallbladder

Problems in these organs can affect overall health.

Diseases Treated by Dr. Khurana

Dr. Khurana treats many digestive diseases.

Some of the common conditions include:

Acid Reflux (GERD)

Acid reflux happens when stomach acid moves upward.

Doctors call this condition GERD.

Dr. Khurana helps control this problem with medicine and diet advice.

Liver Diseases

The liver plays an important role in the body.

It helps clean the blood and process nutrients.

Some common liver diseases include:

• Fatty liver

•  

Dr. Khurana provides treatment and long-term care.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

IBD causes swelling in the intestines.

Two common types are:

These diseases need long-term care.

Dr. Khurana helps patients manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Bile Duct Stones

Stones can form in the bile duct.

These stones block bile flow.

This can cause pain or jaundice.

Dr. Khurana removes these stones using ERCP procedures.

Advanced Endoscopy Treatments

Dr. Khurana performs many advanced endoscopy procedures.

These procedures help treat problems without major surgery.

They are safe and often allow faster recovery.

ERCP Procedure

ERCP stands for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography.

Doctors use ERCP to treat problems in the bile ducts and pancreas.

During ERCP, doctors can:

• Remove stones
• Open blocked ducts
• Place stents
•  

This procedure helps relieve pain and improve digestion.

Biliary Stenting

Sometimes bile ducts become blocked.

Doctors place a small tube called a stent.

The stent keeps the bile duct open.

This allows bile to flow normally again.

Dr. Khurana performs both plastic and metal stent placement.

Foreign Body Removal

Sometimes people swallow objects by accident.

Examples include:

• Coins
• Bones
• Small toys

These objects may get stuck in the food pipe.

Dr. Khurana removes them safely using endoscopy.

Feeding Tube Placement (PEG)

Some patients cannot swallow food.

Doctors place a feeding tube directly into the stomach.

This procedure is called PEG.

PEG helps patients receive proper nutrition.

Children sometimes need endoscopy to check stomach issues.
