Department of Esophagus Diseases
What is the Esophagus?
The esophagus is a muscular, hollow tube that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach. It lies in the neck and chest and is responsible for carrying food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach through coordinated muscular movements called peristalsis.
When the esophagus is affected by disease, patients commonly experience difficulty in swallowing, chest discomfort, heartburn, or food getting stuck. Early evaluation and treatment help prevent complications and improve quality of life.
Common Esophagus Diseases We Treat
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
- Achalasia Cardia (esophageal motility disorder)
- Esophageal Diverticula
- Foreign Body in Esophagus
- Corrosive Injury to Esophagus
- Cancer of Esophagus
- Reflux Esophagitis / Barrett’s Esophagus
Chronic Esophageal Disorders
Chronic esophageal diseases, such as long-standing reflux, achalasia cardia, or repeated corrosive injury, can lead to scarring, narrowing, and long-term swallowing problems. Untreated, they may increase the risk of serious complications including strictures (narrowing), aspiration into the lungs, and even esophageal cancer. Early diagnosis with endoscopy, manometry and imaging, followed by appropriate medical, endoscopic or surgical treatment, is crucial for long-term relief and safety.
