01 / IN SHORT
EUS
explained plainly.
Written for patients, reviewed by the surgeons who perform this treatment.
EUS combines endoscopy with high-resolution ultrasound to image the pancreas, bile duct and gut wall in fine detail — and to take precise, minimally invasive needle biopsies of deep lesions that are hard to reach any other way.
- WHAT
- Endoscopy + ultrasound from inside the gut
- WHY
- Image & biopsy the pancreas, bile duct and gut-wall lesions
- STRENGTH
- Detects and samples small, deep lesions accurately
- COMFORT
- Done under sedation, similar to a gastroscopy
What is EUS?
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) places a tiny ultrasound probe on the tip of an endoscope, allowing imaging from inside the digestive tract. Because the probe sits right next to the pancreas, bile duct and gut wall, it produces far more detailed pictures of these deep structures than external scans.
What it detects & treats
EUS evaluates pancreatic masses and cysts, bile-duct stones and narrowings, gut-wall tumours such as GISTs, and enlarged lymph nodes. Its key strength is fine-needle biopsy — sampling deep lesions precisely and safely to confirm a diagnosis and guide treatment.
What to expect
EUS is performed under sedation, much like a gastroscopy, and usually takes 20–45 minutes depending on whether a biopsy is taken. Most patients go home the same day.

DOCUMENTED CASE · COLONOSCOPY & POLYPECTOMY
Polyp to Prevention: How a Colonoscopy Stopped a Cancer
1BEFORE TREATMENT
A patient in their 50s with a family history of colon cancer and subtle change in bowel habit, anxious about screening.
2TREATMENT
The polyp was lifted and excised endoscopically in full, with clear margins, during the same colonoscopy.
3AFTER TREATMENT
Pathology confirmed a pre-cancerous lesion removed completely — a cancer prevented. A surveillance schedule was set so any future polyps are caught equally early.
Outcomes vary between patients. These accounts describe individual experiences, not a guaranteed result.

09 / WHY DWARIKA HOSPITALABOUT THE HOSPITAL
Four promises.
One standard.
What every patient can expect here — from the first call to the last follow-up.
01.
Super-specialist led
Surgery here is performed by MCh-qualified surgical gastroenterologists, not general surgeons operating outside their specialty.
02.
Keyhole by default
Laparoscopic and scarless techniques are the standard approach, reserving open surgery for cases that genuinely need it.
03.
One team, one plan
Diagnosis, surgery, nutrition and follow-up sit under one roof — you are not handed between disconnected clinics.
04.
Counselling before consent
Every patient is told what the operation can and cannot achieve, with costs stated upfront, before anything is scheduled.
