For decades, a diagnosis of a large colon polyp, a bile duct stone, or early-stage stomach cancer meant one thing: major open surgery. It meant large incisions, long hospital stays, and weeks of recovery.
At Liv Hospital, we have pioneered a different path. We specialize in Interventional Gastroenterology, a field that bridges the gap between medicine and surgery. Using high-tech endoscopes and microscopic tools, we can now perform complex procedures entirely through the body’s natural openings (the mouth or rectum). We can peel away tumors, crush stones, and widen narrowed passages without making a single cut on your skin.
Our Treatment and Management philosophy focuses on Organ Preservation. Why remove a stomach if you can just remove the cancer? Why remove a colon if effective medication can heal the inflammation? Whether managing a chronic condition like Crohn’s Disease or performing a life-saving ERCP, our goal is to restore your digestive health with the absolute minimum disruption to your life.
Finding a polyp or early tumor is only the first step. Removing it safely and completely is the cure.
For larger or flat polyps (1–2cm) that sit deeper in the lining.
This is the pinnacle of endoscopic skill, pioneered in Japan and performed by experts at Liv Hospital.
When a gallstone escapes the gallbladder and blocks the main bile duct, it causes jaundice, severe pain, and life-threatening infection (Cholangitis).

For patients with Achalasia, a rare condition where the swallowing muscle (LES) is too tight, preventing food from entering the stomach.
Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are lifelong autoimmune conditions. The goal is not just symptom relief, but “Mucosal Healing”—making the gut look normal again to prevent surgery.
We move beyond simple steroids to targeted “Smart Drugs” that block specific inflammatory pathways.
In Crohn’s disease, scar tissue can narrow the intestine (stricture), causing blockages.
The liver has an amazing capacity to regenerate, but it needs help to fight viruses and toxins.
For patients with Cirrhosis, the veins in the esophagus can swell (varices) and burst.
There is no “magic pill” yet, but we offer a structured program:
Chronic acid reflux is dangerous. It changes the lining of the esophagus (Barrett’s Esophagus), which can turn into cancer.
If you have Barrett’s Esophagus with dysplasia (precancerous cells).
A newer endoscopic technique where we tighten the valve between the stomach and esophagus by creating a controlled scar, reducing reflux without surgery.
Obesity is a major cause of GI disease. We offer endoscopic solutions for patients who do not want Bariatric Surgery.
The pancreas is unforgiving. We treat its complications gently.
The main risks are bleeding (1–2%) and perforation (<0.5%). At Liv Hospital, we use preventative clips to close the defect immediately after removal, significantly reducing these risks. If a complication occurs, we can almost always fix it endoscopically during the same procedure.
Yes, usually the next morning. You may have a sore throat from the scope. If you had a sphincterotomy (cut), we advise a soft diet for 24 hours. If you have Pancreatitis after ERCP (a known risk), you may need to fast for a few days.
No. Once you achieve “Sustained Virologic Response” (SVR) at 12 weeks post-treatment, the virus is gone from your body forever. However, you can get reinfected if you are exposed to infected blood again. It does not provide immunity.
Orbera (Endoscopic): 6 months or 12 months (depending on the model). It must be removed (or pass) because the acid in the stomach eventually weakens the balloon material.
Because they suppress the immune system, there is a slightly increased risk of infections (like TB or pneumonia). We screen you thoroughly for latent infections before starting. However, the risk of untreated Crohn’s disease (surgery, cancer, malnutrition) is far higher than the risk of the medication.
