What to Expect During Your Procedure
These advanced endoscopic procedures are typically performed under sedation to ensure your comfort:
- Preparation: Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure and medication adjustments as needed
- Sedation: Intravenous sedation to keep you comfortable and relaxed throughout
- Procedure: The endoscope is passed through the mouth to access the treatment area
- Intervention: Precise application of bands, glue, clips, or dilatation as required
- Recovery: Brief monitoring period followed by discharge with specific instructions
- Follow-up: Scheduled appointments to monitor healing and treatment effectiveness
Most patients can return home the same day and resume normal activities within 1-2 days. Specific recovery instructions will be provided based on the procedure performed and your individual health needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
You'll receive sedation to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and don't remember the procedure. Afterward, you might have a mild sore throat or abdominal discomfort that typically resolves within a day.
Procedure times vary depending on complexity: Banding (20-30 minutes), Glue injection (30-45 minutes), Clip application (15-30 minutes), Dilatation (20-40 minutes). You should plan to spend 2-4 hours at the facility for preparation and recovery.
Success rates are generally high: Banding controls bleeding in 90-95% of cases, Glue injection achieves hemostasis in 85-95% of gastric varices, Clips successfully stop bleeding in 85-90% of cases, and Dilatation successfully treats strictures in 80-90% of patients.
This depends on your condition. Variceal banding typically requires 2-4 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Dilatation may need repeated sessions for complex strictures. Your doctor will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
While generally safe, potential risks include bleeding (especially after banding or dilatation), perforation, infection, reaction to sedation, or ulcer formation at treatment sites. These complications are uncommon, and our team takes all precautions to minimize risks.
Most patients can resume normal activities within 1-2 days. You'll receive specific instructions about diet, medication, and activity restrictions based on the procedure performed. Avoid driving for 24 hours due to sedation effects.
