The Gastroenterology, Liver & Pancreatic Diseases Department at Unico Hospital PLC provides comprehensive medical care for disorders affecting the digestive system, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. These organs play essential roles in digestion, metabolism, nutrition, and overall health, and problems affecting them may range from common digestive conditions to complex and potentially serious diseases.
Our department combines specialized medical expertise, advanced diagnostic facilities, and personalized treatment approaches to provide accurate diagnosis, effective disease management, and compassionate care for patients of all ages.
Gastroenterology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and digestive system. Gastroenterologists manage conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas.
The department provides care for both acute and chronic digestive problems, ranging from acidity and indigestion to inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, liver disease, pancreatic disorders, and other complex conditions.
The department provides specialized evaluation and treatment for a broad range of gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic conditions, including:
Digestive symptoms can have many different causes. Persistent abdominal pain, heartburn, bloating, changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing may require specialist evaluation.
Our gastroenterology specialists conduct a detailed assessment of symptoms, medical history, lifestyle factors, and relevant test results before developing an individualized treatment plan. The goal is not only to manage symptoms but also to identify and address the underlying cause whenever possible.
The liver performs essential functions including metabolism, detoxification, nutrient processing, and the production of important proteins. Liver disease can sometimes progress silently, making appropriate evaluation and regular monitoring important for individuals at risk.
The department provides comprehensive care for fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, abnormal liver function, chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and complications associated with advanced liver disease.
Patients may receive guidance on medication, nutrition, weight management, lifestyle changes, and appropriate follow-up depending on their individual condition.
The department also specializes in disorders of the pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. Conditions such as pancreatitis, gallstones, bile duct obstruction, and other hepatobiliary disorders may cause significant abdominal pain and digestive problems.
Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important, particularly when patients present with severe abdominal pain, jaundice, persistent vomiting, or other acute symptoms.
Accurate diagnosis is an important part of gastroenterology and liver care. Depending on the patient's symptoms and clinical condition, specialists may recommend investigations such as:
These investigations can help identify inflammation, ulcers, bleeding, tumors, infections, structural abnormalities, and other digestive or hepatobiliary conditions.
Upper GI endoscopy allows specialists to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine using a specialized flexible camera. It can assist in diagnosing conditions such as ulcers, gastritis, reflux-related problems, bleeding, and other abnormalities.
Colonoscopy is used to examine the large intestine and can help identify causes of persistent bowel changes, gastrointestinal bleeding, inflammation, polyps, and other colorectal conditions. When necessary, tissue samples or certain therapeutic procedures may be performed during endoscopic evaluation.
Complex gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic conditions may require collaboration between multiple medical specialties. Our gastroenterology team can work with General Surgery, Oncology, Radiology, Pathology, Nutrition, Critical Care, and other relevant departments when multidisciplinary management is required.
This coordinated approach helps ensure that patients receive appropriate care throughout diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and long-term follow-up.
Consider consulting a gastroenterology specialist if you experience persistent or recurrent abdominal pain, heartburn, difficulty swallowing, nausea, vomiting, bloating, chronic diarrhea, constipation, blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, jaundice, or changes in bowel habits.
People with known liver disease, hepatitis, fatty liver, recurrent pancreatitis, or other chronic digestive conditions may also benefit from regular specialist follow-up.
The Gastroenterology, Liver & Pancreatic Diseases Department at Unico Hospital PLC is committed to providing comprehensive, evidence-based, and patient-focused care for digestive, liver, biliary, and pancreatic disorders.
From common gastrointestinal problems to complex liver and pancreatic diseases, our team focuses on accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, prevention of complications, and long-term health management—helping patients achieve better digestive health and an improved quality of life.
