Latest work with IntechOpen by Mahesh Goenka

The book Elastography - Current Insights and Applications aims to consolidate specific information and updates about elastography in general and abdominal pathologies specifically. The concept of elastography has been most widely explored for assessing liver fibrosis. However, multiple other domains, including focal liver lesions, endoscopic ultrasound elastography, and pancreatic elastography, are less explored. The book covers key concepts of bioethical principles, techniques, and recent updates on such areas of elastography in abdominal pathologies. We hope this book helps to enlighten the readers about these aspects of elastography.

Endoscopic Management of Leaks and Fistula in Gastrointestinal Tract

By Mahesh Kumar Goenka, Gajanan Ashokrao Rodge and Usha Goenka

Leak, perforation, and fistula are the three main types of transmural defects in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Evolution of interventional endoscopic\\ techniques as well as widespread use of laparoscopic and bariatric surgical procedures has contributed to the rising incidence of GI defects. The basic principle for management of leaks and fistula is to provide a barricade to the flow of luminal contents across the defect. This can be achieved either by a surgical or endoscopic method. Minimally invasive closure techniques such as clipping, stenting, suturing, and endoscopic vacuum therapy have revolutionized the management of GI defects. This chapter deals with endoscopic techniques and their present status in the management of luminal GI leaks and fistula.

Endoscopy in Management of Portal Hypertension

By Bhavik Bharat Shah, Usha Goenka and Mahesh Kumar Goenka

Portal hypertension (PH) is a serious consequence of several disease states affecting prehepatic, intrahepatic, or posthepatic portal circulation. Backpressure caused by PH transmits through the collaterals to form varices at various sites. PH also leads to hyperdynamic congestion and altered gastrointestinal mucosal immune response, resulting in portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG), portal hypertensive enteropathy (PHE), and portal colopathy (PC). These PH associated phenomena may lead to torrential life-threatening bleed or chronic blood loss leading to debilitating chronic anemia. Endoscopy plays a pivotal role in the management of these patients both for diagnostic and therapeutic purpose. The choice of therapeutic strategy depends on many factors: severity of the disease, patient’s clinical performance, and whether it is done as an emergency or as a prophylactic approach. In this chapter, we evaluate the endoscopic management of patients with the gastrointestinal complications of PH.
