Answer box: Gastro treatment in Bathinda, Punjab, India covers the food pipe, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and the back passage. Dr Raman Garg, a surgical gastroenterologist at Bombay Gastro & Cancer Institute (BGCI), sees the problem, tests it and treats it with medicines, scope tests or keyhole surgery, all under one roof.
What gastro treatment means, in plain words
Gastro treatment is care for anything that goes wrong between your mouth and your back passage, plus the liver, gallbladder and pancreas that help digestion. Pet dard, gas, acidity, kabz, loose motion, piles, pitte ki pathri, peeliya and blood in the stool all fall here.
Most people do not know whom to see. A family doctor gives a tablet. A physician orders a scan. A surgeon is met only at the end. Dr Raman Garg is a surgical gastroenterologist: a stomach, gut, liver, gallbladder and pancreas specialist who also operates. So one doctor decides whether you need medicines, a scope test or surgery, and does it himself. Read more about him on the Dr Raman Garg page and the difference between a gastroenterologist and a gastro surgeon.
This page is the map of everything we treat. Find your problem below, open its page and read the full details on symptoms, tests, steps, recovery and cost.

Gallbladder and bile duct problems
The gallbladder is a small pouch under the liver that stores bile, a fluid that digests fat. Stones form in it and cause pain after meals. This is the commonest reason farmers and shopkeepers from the Malwa belt come to us.
- Gallstone treatment in Bathinda: symptoms, when stones can be watched and when they must be treated.
- Gallbladder removal surgery: the stitchless keyhole operation, step by step, with recovery.
- Laparoscopic surgery in Bathinda: how keyhole surgery works and who can have it.
- Reading in your language: Pite di pathri da ilaj (Punjabi) and Pitte ki pathri ka ilaj (Hindi).
Acidity, gas, ulcer and stomach pain
Acidity is usually a habit problem, but it can also hide an ulcer, an infection or a hiatal hernia. Gas that never settles, pain that wakes you at night or weight loss with it should not be treated at home for months.
- Acid reflux and GERD treatment
- Gas, acidity and bloating treatment
- Stomach pain treatment
- Stomach ulcer treatment
- H pylori treatment, the germ behind many ulcers
- Hiatal hernia treatment, when acid keeps coming up despite tablets

Bowel and back passage problems
Many people wait years with piles or a fissure because of shame. Please do not. These are common and treatable, and a short visit often settles the plan.
- Piles treatment: bawasir, khooni bawasir, tablets, rubber band and surgery.
- Anal fissure treatment: the cut that burns and bleeds during potty.
- Fistula treatment: a tunnel near the back passage that keeps discharging.
- Constipation treatment: kabz that does not respond to diet.
- Blood in stool treatment: never assume it is only piles.
- IBS treatment: pain and loose motion linked with stress.
- Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's treatment: long-term bowel inflammation.
- Intestinal obstruction surgery: a blocked gut, an emergency.
- Blogs: piles vs fissure vs fistula and blood in stool: causes and when to worry.
Liver and pancreas problems
The liver filters your blood and the pancreas makes digestive juice and insulin. Both can be harmed by fat, alcohol, stones and infections, and both often give few signs until late.
- Fatty liver treatment: diet, weight, FibroScan and follow-up.
- Jaundice treatment: peeliya, its causes and the tests that find them.
- Pancreatitis treatment: sudden severe pain after a stone or alcohol.
Scope tests that find the cause
A camera test shows what a scan cannot. Both are done in our advanced endoscopy and colonoscopy suite.
- Endoscopy in Bathinda: dooRbeen test of the food pipe and stomach. See what endoscopy is.
- Colonoscopy in Bathinda: the large bowel, with biopsy or polyp removal if needed.
Cancer and major surgery
A cancer diagnosis is frightening. Early planning with one surgeon who explains each step makes it easier.
- Colon cancer surgery
- Stomach cancer surgery
- GI cancer surgery for rectum, pancreas and liver
- Second opinion on gastro surgery if another doctor has advised an operation and you want a clear view first.
- Gastro emergency care: what to do and where to go at once.
- Appendix: appendicitis surgery.
Which treatment will you need? Medicines, procedure or surgery
Most gastro problems do not need an operation. Honest sorting looks like this.
| Path | Examples | How it is decided |
|---|---|---|
| Medicines and food changes | Mild acidity, gas, fatty liver, early IBS, H pylori | Examination, ultrasound or stool and blood tests |
| Scope or scan, then plan | Long-lasting pain, bleeding, swallowing trouble, anaemia | Endoscopy, colonoscopy, imaging partners |
| Day-care procedure | Piles banding, polyp removal, biopsy | Findings during the test |
| Keyhole surgery | Gallstones, appendix, hernia, severe reflux | Repeated attacks, infection, failed medicines |
| Major or cancer surgery | Colon, stomach, rectum, pancreas, liver | Biopsy, scans and staging |
A 45 year old from Rampura Phul with burning after meals for two years may need only a four-week plan and an endoscopy. A 38 year old from Mansa with three gallbladder attacks in a year usually needs surgery. The point is that the answer comes after examination, not before.
