Gastroenterology and Interventional Endoscopy Approach
Interventional endoscopy allows certain digestive and pancreatobiliary conditions to be investigated or treated through an endoscope rather than through open surgery. The appropriate procedure depends on symptoms, imaging findings, laboratory results, and the suspected digestive disorder.
Dr. Banerjee’s practice includes advanced procedures such as ERCP and EUS. ERCP can be used in selected patients to diagnose and treat problems involving the bile ducts or pancreatic ducts, while EUS combines endoscopy with ultrasound to provide detailed imaging of structures within and around the digestive tract.
His broader gastroenterology work includes long-term management of inflammatory bowel disease, reflux, liver disease, and chronic digestive symptoms. Patients with persistent bloating or changes in bowel habits may require a structured evaluation before conditions such as SIBO or inflammatory disease can be diagnosed.
