Minimally Invasive Relief for Digestive Tract Blockages
GI Stenting is an advanced endoscopic procedure used to open blocked or narrowed areas in the gastrointestinal tract. At Surat Gastro Centre, Dr. Saurabh Agarwal performs non-surgical GI stent placements to provide rapid symptom relief for patients with swallowing difficulties, intestinal obstructions, or tumor-related narrowing.
What is GI Stenting?
GI stents are flexible, mesh-like tubes inserted into the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, or bile ducts to:
- Keep narrowed passages open
- Restore normal food and fluid flow
- Relieve symptoms like pain, vomiting, or bloating
- People seeking a safer, reversible option for weight loss
