Sun Speciality Clinic, Coimbatore provides specialized care for esophagus disorders under the guidance of Prof. Dr. L. Venkatakrishnan (Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist) and Dr. K. Vijay (Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist). The esophagus is a vital part of the digestive system, responsible for moving food from the mouth to the stomach, and its diseases can cause difficulty swallowing, heartburn, chest pain, and regurgitation. Our clinic offers comprehensive evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and advanced treatment for conditions such as acid reflux, esophagitis, achalasia, strictures, and esophageal cancer. Using modern diagnostic tools and minimally invasive procedures, we ensure timely intervention, symptom relief, and long-term esophageal health. Our patient-focused approach combines medical therapy, endoscopic treatment, and surgical options for effective management.

Esophagitis
Achalasia
Esophageal Strictures

Diagnostic Services:
- Upper GI Endoscopy: Visual examination of the esophagus to detect inflammation, ulcers, or tumors.
- Barium Swallow X-ray: Assesses esophageal motility and structural abnormalities.
- 24-Hour pH Monitoring: Measures acid reflux for accurate GERD diagnosis.
- Esophageal Manometry: Evaluates muscle function and motility disorders.
- CT Scan & Biopsy: Detects tumors or advanced esophageal conditions.
Treatment Options:
Medical Management:
For GERD, esophagitis, and minor strictures, our specialists provide acid-suppressing medications, pain relief, and dietary guidance to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.
Endoscopic Procedures:
We perform minimally invasive endoscopic treatments, including dilation of strictures, variceal banding, stent placement, and biopsy. Endoscopic therapy is safe, effective, and reduces recovery time.
Surgical Management:
For severe conditions like achalasia or esophageal cancer, laparoscopic or robotic surgery is offered. These procedures provide precision, minimal pain, faster recovery, and better outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.
Lifestyle & Dietary Support:
Patients are guided on meal planning, avoiding trigger foods, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight to support esophageal health and prevent recurrence.
Cancer Care & Follow-Up:
Early diagnosis of esophageal cancer is critical. Our team provides surgical intervention, chemotherapy support, and long-term monitoring to improve survival rates and quality of life.
