About me
Dr Vinay Sehgal is a Consultant Gastroenterologist and Interventional Endoscopist at University College London Hospital. University College London Hospital is a centre of excellence with strong academic ties that enables its doctors to bring the latest treatments from the benchside to the bedside which is something Dr Sehgal passionately believes in for his patients.
Dr Sehgal has a super specialist interest in advanced, organ-preserving endoscopic therapies for patients that may otherwise need surgery including endoscopic removal of early cancers, endoscopic management of reflux disease including the TIF procedure and the POEM procedure for achalasia and Zenker's diverticulum.
Areas of Expertise
• Heartburn and acid reflux:
Endoscopic diagnosis including BRAVO capsule insertion and endoscopic therapies for reflux including transoral incision less fundoplication (TIF), anti-reflux mucosal ablation (ARMA) and STRETTA.
• Barretts Oesophagus endoscopic therapy:
Endoscopic removal (EMR and ESD) and ablation (RFA, APC, Cryotherapy) for early neoplasia and cancer which would otherwise require major surgery.
• Achalasia
Rapid diagnosis of major motility of the oesophagus including endoscopy, EndoFLIP and manometry. He also offers advanced endoscopic therapies for achalasia including the POEM procedure.
• Pharyngeal pouch/Zenker's Diverticulum
Dr Sehgal is one of few specialists who offers minimally invasive endoscopic therapy for Zenker's diverticulum including the Z-POEM procedure. This avoids major surgery and has significantly improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
