Esophageal Disorders
Barrett's Esophagus
Barrett's esophagus is a pre-malignant condition where the esophageal lining changes due to chronic acid exposure. Dr. Adarsh, based in Bangalore, manages Barrett's esophagus through a combination of anti-reflux surgery to prevent further acid damage and endoscopic surveillance to detect dysplasia early.
