Advanced Upper GI Endoscopy in Ghaziabad

Upper GI Endoscopy, also called EGD, is one of the most commonly recommended diagnostic procedures at Kak Liver and Gut Center, Ghaziabad. Dr. Manish C Kak advises this test for patients experiencing persistent acidity, GERD, swallowing difficulty, unexplained vomiting, upper abdominal pain, anemia, or suspected ulcers. The procedure helps examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine with high-definition clarity.

Patients are required to fast for 6–8 hours before the procedure. Once at the center, they are taken to the endoscopy suite, where mild sedation is administered through an IV line to ensure a comfortable and anxiety-free experience. A thin flexible camera (endoscope) is passed through the mouth and gently guided down the GI tract. Dr. Kak examines the lining, takes biopsies if needed, and can simultaneously perform necessary treatments such as stopping bleeding or removing small polyps.

The entire procedure takes 10 minutes, and patients are kept under observation for 30–45 minutes afterward. EGD is a day-care procedure, and patients can go home the same day. Light meals can be resumed 1–2 hours later. Mild throat irritation may occur temporarily.

Upper GI endoscopy is extremely safe, especially under the expertise of Dr. Manish C Kak — one of the leading gastroenterologists in Ghaziabad and Delhi NCR. The procedure plays a crucial role in early detection of ulcers, tumors, infections, celiac disease, or structural abnormalities. Timely evaluation helps prevent complications and ensures personalized treatment for long-term digestive wellness.
