Dr. Syed Ibrahim Hassan

Dr. Syed Ibrahim Hassan is a Consultant Medical Gastroenterologist at Princess Esra Hospital, Hyderabad, where the Gastroenterology & Hepatology department provides diagnostic and therapeutic care for gastrointestinal, liver and pancreaticobiliary disorders. The hospital currently lists him as a member of its gastroenterology team.

The department’s documented scope includes diagnostic and therapeutic upper- and lower-GI endoscopy, colonoscopy and enteroscopy. It also provides advanced liver therapy and specialised endoscopic management for patients who require intervention rather than diagnostic assessment alone.

Relevant therapeutic expertise includes ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Princess Esra Hospital describes ERCP services including common-bile-duct and pancreatic stenting and stone extraction, as well as EUS-guided pancreatic pseudocyst drainage, lymph-node biopsy, biopsy of pancreatic lesions and celiac plexus block.

Other documented departmental procedures include endoscopic sclerotherapy, variceal banding, fundal-variceal glue injection, pneumatic dilatation for achalasia, oesophageal-stricture dilatation and endoscopic cystogastrostomy. Double-balloon enteroscopy is used for selected small-bowel disorders, including obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and evaluation in Crohn’s disease.

For an international patient, the appropriate gastroenterology consultation or procedure depends on symptoms, imaging, laboratory results, previous endoscopy and pathology where relevant. Recent reports should be reviewed by the treating team before travel so that the need for endoscopy, ERCP, EUS or further liver and pancreaticobiliary investigation can be confirmed.
