Sunway Medical Centre performs first advanced liver drainage procedure
EUS-HGS combines endoscopy and ultrasound.
Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City, has conducted its first endoscopic ultrasound-guided Hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) procedure.
EUS-HGS combines endoscopy and ultrasound to create a new drainage pathway between the liver’s bile duct and the stomach.
The centre said that the procedure provides an alternative treatment option for patients with bile duct obstruction in cases where traditional methods are not feasible.
