Our Medical Services & Treatments
Endoscopy
Upper GI endoscopy (gastroscopy) for evaluation of heartburn, ulcers, difficulty swallowing, and unexplained abdominal pain. We use high-definition endoscopes with narrow-band imaging (NBI) for enhanced detection of early mucosal changes and pre-cancerous lesions.
Colonoscopy
Diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening, polyp detection and removal, evaluation of rectal bleeding, chronic diarrhea, and inflammatory bowel disease. Recommended for all adults over 45 or those with a family history of colorectal cancer.
Liver Disease Treatment
Comprehensive hepatology services including evaluation and management of hepatitis B and C, fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH), alcoholic liver disease, cirrhosis, and portal hypertension. We coordinate with our surgical team for liver biopsies and transplant referrals when needed.
GI Surgery
Surgical management of gastrointestinal conditions including gallstones, appendicitis, bowel obstruction, GI perforations, and gastrointestinal cancers. Most procedures are performed laparoscopically for faster recovery.
Nutritional Support
Clinical nutrition assessments and dietary counselling for patients with IBD, celiac disease, chronic pancreatitis, post-surgical malabsorption, and liver disease. Our dietitians create individualized meal plans that support digestive healing and long-term wellness.
ERCP
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for diagnosis and treatment of bile duct stones, strictures, tumors, and pancreatic duct disorders. ERCP allows stone extraction, stent placement, and tissue sampling without the need for open surgery.

Why Choose Hope Gastroenterology?
Hope Gastroenterology operates as a specialized clinic within Hope Hospital's Morning OPD (8 AM to 11 AM, daily). This focused clinic model allows our specialist gastroenterologists to dedicate sufficient time to each patient while keeping wait times short. For procedures, we have a dedicated endoscopy suite equipped with Olympus high-definition scopes, CO2 insufflation for patient comfort, and full sedation support from our anesthesia team.
Our strength lies in coordination. Gastroenterologists, GI surgeons, oncologists, interventional radiologists, and dietitians work together on complex medical cases -- from early cancer detection through staging, treatment, and nutritional rehabilitation. This multidisciplinary healthcare approach is especially important for conditions like pancreatic cancer, advanced liver disease, and complicated IBD where no single doctor can deliver optimal outcomes alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hope Gastroenterology and what services does it offer?
Hope Gastroenterology is the dedicated digestive care division of Hope Hospital Nagpur. It offers a complete range of gastroenterology services including diagnostic and therapeutic upper GI endoscopy, colonoscopy, ERCP, liver disease management, treatment for acid reflux, peptic ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and gastrointestinal cancers. The department also provides clinical nutrition and dietary counselling for patients with chronic GI conditions.
When should I see a gastroenterologist at Hope Hospital?
You should consult a gastroenterologist if you experience persistent symptoms such as chronic acidity or heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, blood in the stool, persistent abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea or constipation, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), or bloating that does not resolve with dietary changes. Early evaluation is especially important for patients over 45 years of age or those with a family history of colorectal cancer, as screening colonoscopy can detect precancerous polyps before they become malignant.
Is endoscopy painful and how long does it take?
Endoscopy at Hope Hospital is performed under conscious sedation, which means you will be relaxed and comfortable during the procedure. Most patients experience no pain. An upper GI endoscopy typically takes 10-15 minutes, while a colonoscopy takes 20-30 minutes. You will be monitored in our recovery area for about an hour afterward. Most patients can go home the same day and resume normal activities by the next morning. Our gastroenterologists use the latest high-definition endoscopes with narrow-band imaging for improved detection of abnormalities.
