MBBS, MD (Gastroenterology), MACG (USA), MRCPS (UK)

Over 13 years of clinical experience performing Endoscopic Ultrasound and advanced endoscopic procedures.

Patients across Islamabad and Rawalpindi seek Dr. Omer's expertise in Endoscopic Ultrasound for its unmatched diagnostic precision. This procedure combines traditional endoscopy with ultrasound imaging, allowing detailed visualisation of pancreatic tumours, bile duct lesions, and surrounding tissues. For many patients, accurate EUS staging proves essential before treatment planning.

Dr. Omer's Endoscopic Ultrasound practice differs fundamentally from a general hospital setting. He allocates time to understand each patient's medical history, explains findings in plain language, and ensures no question goes unanswered. From initial assessment through recovery and follow-up, you receive individualised attention and clear guidance every step.

Understanding The Procedure

Understanding Endoscopic Ultrasound

Endoscopic Ultrasound combines high-resolution ultrasound with flexible endoscopy to visualise the GI tract and adjacent organs. Dr. Omer uses EUS to diagnose pancreatic masses, bile duct strictures, and stage tumours with precision. It is suitable for patients with upper abdominal symptoms or findings requiring detailed tissue-level imaging.

In Simple Terms

During Endoscopic Ultrasound, you receive light sedation while Dr. Omer gently passes a thin, specialised scope containing an ultrasound transducer down your oesophagus. This allows real-time imaging of your pancreas, bile ducts, and stomach wall. The procedure typically lasts 20 to 40 minutes, depending on findings.

Why It Is Done

Endoscopic Ultrasound is recommended when patients report persistent abdominal pain, yellowing skin or eyes, weight loss, or abnormal imaging suggesting pancreatic or bile duct disease. It helps diagnose cysts, tumours, inflammation, and strictures. In some cases, Dr. Omer may perform therapeutic interventions during the same procedure.

Who Needs It

Patients aged 40 and above with chronic abdominal symptoms or suspicious imaging findings are typical candidates. Those with known pancreatic cysts, unexplained jaundice, or a family history of pancreatic disease benefit from EUS evaluation. Dr. Omer assesses each patient individually during consultation.

What To Know

You must fast for six to eight hours before Endoscopic Ultrasound. Avoid blood-thinning medications as instructed. Mild sedation will be offered, so arrange a responsible adult to accompany you home. Recovery is quick, typically allowing normal activity within 24 hours.

Step by Step

What to Expect During Your Procedure

Your Endoscopic Ultrasound journey includes arrival, preparation, the procedure itself, immediate findings review, and careful recovery guidance.

1
Arrival and Check-in

You arrive at the clinic and complete registration. Dr. Omer reviews your medical history, current medications, and any allergies. A brief physical examination ensures you are fit for sedation.

3
EUS Examination

Dr. Omer gently introduces the endoscope with integrated ultrasound transducer. High-resolution imaging displays pancreatic anatomy, bile ducts, and any abnormalities. He may take biopsies if suspicious lesions are identified.

4
Findings Review

After the procedure, Dr. Omer shares initial observations with you and your companion. Visual findings are discussed clearly. Biopsies or tissue samples are sent to the laboratory for analysis.

5
Recovery and Follow-up

You rest in recovery for 30 to 60 minutes as sedation wears off. Dr. Omer provides written discharge instructions, dietary guidance, and activity recommendations. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to review final results.
