SRM Prime Hospital Launches Most Advanced GI and Liver Institute
Chennai: SRM Prime Hospital, Ramapuram, has unveiled the SRM Prime Institute of Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases, a state-of-the-art facility featuring South India’s most advanced endoscopy unit. The institute promises comprehensive digestive care with cutting-edge technology and expert clinical leadership.
The institute was inaugurated by renowned Tamil film actor R. Parthiban, alongside P. Siva, Chief Executive Officer of SRM Prime Hospital, and senior gastroenterology consultants Dr. Arulprakash and Dr. Tharun J George.
Equipped with high-end systems like the Arietta 750 and EP-8000 endoscopic ultrasound platforms, and the Olympus X1 imaging suite, the institute enables precision-guided, minimally invasive procedures. The addition of the Slim Therapeutic Endoscope EG-840TP enhances diagnostic accuracy and procedural flexibility, supporting faster recovery and improved patient outcomes.
“Our vision is to deliver world-class digestive care under one roof,” said P. Siva. “This institute combines advanced imaging, minimally invasive techniques, and 24/7 emergency services to set a new benchmark in gastroenterology.”
Dr. Arulprakash highlighted the institute’s capabilities in treating conditions of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver. “We offer safe, painless procedures using gentle sedation and specialise in non-surgical treatments for complex GI and liver conditions. Our endoscopic ultrasound system—the first of its kind in Tamil Nadu—enables targeted interventions for pancreatic and biliary diseases,” he said.
The institute also provides advanced therapies for early gut cancers, swallowing disorders, acid reflux, and liver and pancreatic conditions. It is equipped for laser stone fragmentation and cholangioscopy, and offers bariatric endoscopy options such as Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) and Intragastric Balloon therapy.
Specialised clinics at SRM Prime include the Acid Reflux Clinic, Constipation & GI Motility Clinic, Pancreas Clinic, Liver Clinic, Obesity & Metabolic Endoscopy Clinic, and the IBD Clinic for Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis. The hospital ensures round-the-clock emergency care for GI bleeding, foreign body removal, acute pancreatitis, and liver-related crises.
With this launch, SRM Prime Hospital reinforces its commitment to delivering precision-driven, patient-friendly digestive care that meets global standards.
