Diagnostic Services:
At Sun Speciality Clinic, we employ the latest diagnostic techniques to evaluate pancreatic health:
- Blood Tests & Pancreatic Enzyme Analysis: Assess amylase, lipase, and other markers to detect inflammation or pancreatic dysfunction.
- Ultrasound & CT Scan: Visualize pancreatic structure and detect cysts, tumors, or inflammation.
- MRI & MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography): Detailed imaging of the pancreas and bile ducts for accurate diagnosis.
- Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS): Minimally invasive method to examine pancreatic tissue and guide biopsies.
- Genetic & Autoimmune Testing: Identify hereditary or autoimmune pancreatic disorders for precise management.
Our advanced diagnostic approach allows for early detection of serious conditions, including pancreatic cancer, improving treatment outcomes.
Treatment Options:
Medical Management:
For acute or chronic pancreatitis, Prof. Dr. L. Venkatakrishnan and Dr. K. Vijay prescribe pain control, enzyme replacement, and dietary modifications. Medications are also used to manage autoimmune or hereditary pancreatic conditions and to prevent recurrence.
Endoscopic & Minimally Invasive Procedures:
Endoscopic procedures, including ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), are used for removal of pancreatic stones, stent placement, and drainage of cysts or fluid collections. These minimally invasive procedures reduce complications, shorten hospital stays, and speed up recovery.
Surgical Management:
For complex cases like pancreatic tumors, cysts, or severe chronic pancreatitis, our surgeons perform advanced laparoscopic or robotic surgeries. These techniques ensure smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery while providing effective disease management.
Nutritional & Lifestyle Support:
Patients with pancreatic disorders often need specialized diets and lifestyle adjustments. Our specialists provide personalized dietary plans, exercise guidance, and lifestyle counseling to support digestive health and prevent complications such as malnutrition or diabetes.
Cancer Care & Post-Treatment Monitoring:
For patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, we provide early detection, multidisciplinary care, and targeted therapies, including surgical intervention, chemotherapy, or palliative care when necessary. Continuous post-treatment monitoring ensures long-term survival and quality of life.
