Endoscopy in Noida – Advanced Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures at Fortis Hospital
If your doctor has recommended an endoscopy or if you have been experiencing persistent acidity, stomach pain, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained nausea this page will tell you exactly what to expect, who performs your procedure, and why endoscopy at Fortis Hospital, Noida is a step above a routine clinic setting.
Dr. Sushrut Singh, Additional Director of Gastroenterology at Fortis Hospital, Sector 62, Noida, performs the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy procedures. He holds a fellowship in Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy under Dr. Malay Sharma one of India’s foremost experts in the field.
What Is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin, flexible tube fitted with a high-definition camera — called an endoscope — is passed into the digestive tract to directly visualise its inner lining.
Unlike an X-ray or CT scan that produces images from outside the body, endoscopy lets the doctor see the actual tissue in real time. And in many cases, the problem can be treated during the same procedure — without any surgical incision.
Types of Endoscopy Performed by Dr. Sushrut Singh
Upper GI Endoscopy (Gastroscopy / OGD Scopy)
The most common endoscopic procedure. A thin camera tube is passed gently through the mouth into the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Used to diagnose — and in many cases treat — conditions like GERD, peptic ulcers, gastritis, Barrett's oesophagus, oesophageal strictures, and upper GI bleeding.
Colonoscopy
A camera tube is passed through the rectum to examine the full length of the large intestine. Used to investigate chronic diarrhoea, blood in stools, altered bowel habits, abdominal pain, and to screen for colon cancer and polyps.
Therapeutic Endoscopy
Many GI conditions can be treated directly through the endoscope — no surgery needed. During therapeutic endoscopy, Dr. Sushrut performs polyp removal (polypectomy), variceal banding, injection therapy for bleeding ulcers, stricture dilatation, and foreign body removal.

Active GI bleeding — from ulcers, varices, or vascular malformations — requires urgent endoscopic assessment and intervention. Dr. Sushrut is trained in the full range of emergency haemostasis techniques including haemoclipping, adrenaline injection, variceal ligation (EVL), and glue injection for gastric varices.
What Conditions Does Endoscopy Diagnose and Treat?
GERD & Chronic Acidity
Visualises oesophageal damage, rules out Barrett's, and guides treatment.
Peptic Ulcers
Confirms diagnosis, tests for H. pylori, and treats bleeding ulcers.
Gastritis & Stomach Inflammation
Direct biopsy — identifies H. pylori and other underlying causes.
Oesophageal Strictures
Accurately diagnosed and safely dilated during the same session.
Barrett's Oesophagus
Detected early, biopsied, and placed on a structured surveillance program.
GI Bleeding
Source identified and treated immediately via injection, banding, or clipping.
Colon Polyps
Detected and removed seamlessly — directly preventing colorectal cancer.
IBD (Crohn's / Ulcerative Colitis)
Disease extent mapped, targeted biopsies taken, and treatment guided.
Colorectal Cancer Screening
Pre-cancerous polyps are found and removed before they turn malignant.
Difficulty Swallowing (Dysphagia)
Root cause identified — whether it is a stricture, tumour, or motility issue.
What to Expect During Your Endoscopy at Fortis Noida
📋 Before the Procedure
- Upper GI endoscopy requires 6–8 hours of fasting. Colonoscopy requires a bowel prep (laxative) the day before.
- Some blood thinners may need to be paused — Dr. Sushrut's team will advise in advance.
- A pre-procedure consultation explains exactly what will be examined and why.
🩺 During the Procedure
- Performed under mild IV sedation — you will be relaxed and unlikely to feel significant discomfort.
- Upper GI endoscopy takes 10–20 minutes. Colonoscopy takes 20–45 minutes.
- A trained endoscopy nursing team assists throughout, and live imaging is reviewed in real time.
☕ After the Procedure
- You rest in the recovery area for 30–60 minutes while the sedation wears off.
- A report with images is provided before you leave. Dr. Sushrut explains the findings clearly.
- Most patients return to light activity the same day. (Note: Avoid driving immediately after sedation.)
- If biopsies are taken, pathology results return in 3–5 working days.
"Is endoscopy painful?"
Most patients report feeling mild pressure — not pain. Because it is performed under sedation at Fortis Hospital, the majority of patients have no memory of the procedure at all. If you are anxious, tell the team before your appointment — they are highly experienced in managing patient comfort and ensuring a stress-free experience.

Endoscopy (gastroscopy) examines the upper digestive tract — oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum — through the mouth. Colonoscopy examines the large intestine through the rectum. Both use the same flexible camera technology but are performed for different symptoms and conditions.
