Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection in Mumbai
Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) has really changed the landscape of minimally invasive surgery, especially for those tricky large or early-stage cancerous growths in the gastrointestinal tract. With ESD, surgeons can actually remove these lesions in a single piece—no need for the old-fashioned open surgery. The result? Patients often bounce back faster and face a much lower risk of recurrence. If you want to see the details, this advanced procedure is worth a closer look.

It’s honestly rare to find such depth of expertise in India, or anywhere else for that matter.
Patients from across Mumbai and even further afield seek out Dr. Rathod for his pioneering approach to ESD. He blends the latest technology with years of clinical wisdom, crafting a treatment experience that’s both comprehensive and personal. It’s this dedication to precision and top-tier patient care that’s made him such a trusted name for complex endoscopic work.
Conditions Treated With Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD)
ESD is surprisingly versatile—it tackles a range of gastrointestinal issues without the need for major surgery. The real focus is on removing abnormal tissue growths right from the digestive tract lining, often in places that are tough to reach through traditional means.
Early-Stage Gastrointestinal Cancers
Early-stage cancers of the esophagus, stomach, or colon often respond exceptionally well to ESD. The technique lets doctors remove cancerous lesions while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible—something that’s not always easy with other approaches.
Precancerous Lesions
Take Barrett’s esophagus, for instance—a precancerous condition that’s often managed with ESD. And when it comes to large polyps in the colon or stomach, this advanced method is frequently the best route for complete removal.

Advanced Cases
For complex lesions that standard endoscopy just can’t handle, ESD’s precision really comes into its own. It enables en bloc resection—even for large or oddly-shaped abnormalities that would otherwise require much more invasive measures.
ESD is especially valuable when lesions are tucked away in hard-to-reach spots. The technique allows for complete removal while keeping organ function intact—a balance that’s not easy to strike.
