Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an imaging test that is performed to diagnose gastrointestinal (digestive) and lung disorders. It is a minimally invasive procedure. Endoscopic ultrasound uses the sound waves of high frequency to produce images of the patient’s lining of the gastrointestinal tract and chest, along with some surrounding organs such as liver, pancreas and lymph nodes. Endoscopic ultrasound is sometimes combined with FNAC (Fine needle aspiration cytology), and helps the doctor to take a biopsy tissue sample from the chest or abdomen for further detailed analysis. This combined procedure of Endoscopic ultrasound and biopsy is also a minimally invasive procedure and is not an exploratory surgery. The endoscopic ultrasound procedure is an effective technique and is helpful in some other treatments like drainage of a pseudocyst. Endoscopic ultrasound procedure consists of a small ultrasound device installed at the head or tip of an endoscope (a small tube-like structure, flexible in nature with a light fitted in it). Endoscopic ultrasound is a safe procedure that helps in diagnosing various problems at an early stage.

Esophageal manometry (muh-NOM-uh-tree) is a test that gauges how well your esophagus works. Your esophagus is the long, muscular tube that connects your throat to your stomach. Esophageal manometry measures the rhythmic muscle contractions (peristalsis) that occur in your esophagus when you swallow. Esophageal manometry also measures the coordination and force exerted by the muscles of your esophagus.

During esophageal manometry, a thin, flexible tube (catheter) that contains sensors is passed through your nose, down your esophagus and into your stomach. Esophageal manometry can be helpful in diagnosing some mostly uncommon disorders that affect your esophagus.

Splenectomy is a surgery performed to remove the affected or damaged spleen. The spleen is the organ that lies beneath the rib cage attached to the left side of the abdomen. The spleen is an important organ as it eliminates the dead, damaged or old blood cells from the body. It also helps in fighting against foreign bodies (infections) and filtering unwanted substances from the body. Although most of the blood products are produced by the bone marrow, the spleen also produces a certain type of blood cells and white blood cells. The main reason for Splenectomy surgery is an abdominal injury and it is performed in order to treat the ruptured spleen. Splenectomy is also helpful in treating various other conditions like splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), some cancers, certain blood disorders, and benign tumors or cysts. These days the surgical procedure of splenectomy is often performed by a minimally invasive technique known as laparoscopic splenectomy. This involves a tiny camera and special surgical instruments.
