How Upper GI Procedure in Jalandhar Is Done at STAR Hospital
At the start of the procedure, the patient is asked to lay on the table, and a sedative is given to the patient, only to the throat. A sedative is sprayed on the throat of the patient, and once the throat is numb, a long flexible thin pipe (endoscope) is inserted. The mouth is kept open with the help of the mouth guard and the patient is not allowed to swallow the saliva. The saliva is sucked from the mouth of the patient, from time to time, with the help of a suction pipe.
The patient might feel a little pressure as the pipe moves inside, and the doctor penetrates the pipe by having the visuals of the inside on the monitor. The doctor can analyze the problem, or even take tissues for testing and treat the problem. The tools for the treatment are small and can be inserted within the endoscope. This also helps to treat the disease with laser. Once the doctor performs the surgery, the patient can rest and follow the precautions mentioned by the doctor.
