GI Emergencies & Luminal Therapeutics Care by Dr. Yashavanth H S

Gastrointestinal (GI) emergencies and luminal disorders require prompt diagnosis and advanced endoscopic intervention to prevent serious complications. Conditions such as GI bleeding, obstructions, ulcers, strictures, and foreign body ingestion demand timely, minimally invasive therapeutic procedures for effective management and rapid recovery.

Common GI Emergencies and Luminal Conditions

GI emergencies may present with severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, black stools, difficulty swallowing, bowel obstruction, sudden bleeding, or ingestion of foreign objects. Early recognition and urgent treatment are crucial to stabilize the patient and prevent life-threatening complications.

When to Consult a Doctor ?

Immediate medical attention is required for GI bleeding, severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or suspected bowel obstruction. Early intervention through endoscopic therapy helps control the emergency and reduces the need for major surgery.

Advantages of Early Endoscopic Intervention

Early endoscopic management helps control bleeding, relieve obstruction, treat ulcers, and remove lesions with minimal invasiveness. Prompt intervention shortens hospital stay, improves outcomes, and reduces complications associated with delayed treatment.
