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.

About Barrett's Esophagus

Barrett's esophagus is a pre-cancerous condition where the normal esophageal lining is replaced by intestinal-type cells due to chronic acid reflux. Management includes surveillance endoscopy, acid suppression, and intervention for dysplasia. Dr. Adarsh provides comprehensive Barrett's management including anti-reflux surgery to prevent progression and coordination with gastroenterologists for endoscopic therapy.
