EUS Diagnostics & Therapeutics by Dr. Yashavanth H S

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is an advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that combines endoscopy with high-resolution ultrasound to visualize gastrointestinal organs, bile ducts, pancreas, and surrounding structures. EUS allows precise diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of complex GI, pancreatic, and biliary conditions.

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.
