Conditions Evaluated and Treated Using EUS

EUS is used to assess pancreatic and biliary diseases, tumors, lymph nodes, gallbladder disorders, GI varices, and chronic abdominal pain. Early and accurate evaluation with EUS helps guide optimal treatment decisions and avoid unnecessary surgery.

When to Consider EUS ?

EUS is recommended when conventional imaging is inconclusive or when tissue diagnosis and targeted therapy are required. Early consultation with a specialist ensures accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.

Advantages of EUS-Guided Diagnosis and Therapy

EUS provides high diagnostic accuracy, allows real-time guided biopsy and drainage, and offers minimally invasive therapeutic options. It reduces surgical risk, shortens recovery time, and improves overall patient outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1 What is the difference between a regular Endoscopy and an EUS?

A standard endoscopy only allows a doctor to see the inner lining of your digestive tract. An Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) uses a specialized scope with an ultrasound probe at the tip. This allows Dr. Yashavanth to see "through" the walls to examine nearby organs like the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder with extreme precision.

2 Is the EUS procedure painful?

No, the procedure is not painful. It is performed under conscious sedation, meaning you will be in a relaxed, sleep-like state and will not feel discomfort. Most patients in our Nagarbhavi clinic are ready to go home within two hours of the procedure.

3 Why do I need an EUS if I already had a CT scan or MRI?

While CT and MRI scans provide a "birds-eye view," EUS provides a high-resolution, close-up image. It is often the gold standard for detecting small tumors (less than 2cm) or stones that other scans might miss. It also allows for a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) biopsy during the same session if a suspicious area is found.

4 How should I prepare for my EUS appointment?

You will typically need to fast (no food or water) for 6 to 8 hours before the procedure to ensure your stomach is empty. If you are taking blood thinners or have diabetes, please inform us during your consultation so we can provide specific medication adjustments.

5 How long does it take to get the results?

Dr. Yashavanth will discuss the visual findings of the ultrasound with you immediately after you wake up from sedation. If a biopsy (FNA/FNB) was performed, those results typically take 3 to 5 working days as they require analysis by a pathologist.
