In the ever-evolving world of gastroenterology, academic exchange and clinical collaboration are essential to driving innovation and improving patient outcomes. Dr. Yogesh Harwani, one of India’s leading interventional gastroenterologists, recently spent a fulfilling weekend across two major cities — Hyderabad and Delhi — sharing his insights on two cutting-edge areas of GI practice:
🔹 EUS-RFA (Endoscopic Ultrasound–Guided Radiofrequency Ablation) in Gastroenterology
🔹 Unmet Needs in GERD: Endoscopic Solutions

ToggleThese sessions brought together eminent specialists, researchers, and clinicians to discuss the latest advancements, explore novel endoscopic interventions, and collectively shape the future of GI care in India.
During the Hyderabad session, hosted by Yashoda Hospitals, Dr. Harwani shared his expertise on Endoscopic Ultrasound–Guided Radiofrequency Ablation (EUS-RFA) — a minimally invasive, precision-based treatment modality that has been redefining therapeutic endoscopy.
EUS-RFA represents a remarkable evolution in gastroenterology, allowing clinicians to target and ablate lesions within the pancreas, liver, and lymph nodes with exceptional accuracy — reducing the need for high-risk surgical interventions.
Dr. Harwani emphasized how EUS-RFA is bridging the gap between diagnostic imaging and therapeutic endoscopy, offering new hope to patients with pancreatic cystic lesions, neuroendocrine tumors, and other complex GI conditions. His talk provided attendees with practical insights, case-based learning, and real-world experience from his clinical practice at Noble Institute of Gastroenterology (NIG), Ahmedabad.
In the ever-evolving field of gastroenterology, the integration of cutting-edge endoscopic techniques continues to redefine diagnosis and treatment standards. This weekend, Dr. Yogesh Harwani, Senior Gastroenterologist and Interventional Endoscopist at Noble Institute of Gastroenterology (NIG), Ahmedabad, had the privilege of participating in two high-impact academic sessions held in Hyderabad and New Delhi — contributing to national discussions on some of the most exciting advancements in gastrointestinal (GI) care.
Across these two vibrant cities, Dr. Harwani shared his clinical experiences and insights on two vital and emerging areas in GI practice:
🔹 EUS-RFA (Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation) in Gastroenterology
🔹 Unmet Needs in GERD: Endoscopic Solutions
The first leg of Dr. Harwani’s academic engagement took place at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, a leading center of excellence in advanced gastroenterology. The session focused on EUS-RFA (Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation) — an innovative, minimally invasive therapy offering promising results in the management of pancreatic lesions, neuroendocrine tumors, and other GI conditions.
Dr. Harwani emphasized how EUS-RFA combines the precision of endoscopic ultrasound with the therapeutic capabilities of radiofrequency ablation, enabling targeted treatment with reduced risks and improved patient outcomes. His talk delved into the latest evidence, patient selection strategies, and real-world clinical outcomes, offering valuable insights to both practicing gastroenterologists and interventional endoscopists.
He extended his gratitude to Dr. Viswanath Reddy, Dr. Ravishankar, and Dr. Shrinivas from Yashoda Hospitals for organizing an exceptionally engaging and informative academic session that fostered collaboration and scientific exchange among leading experts in the field.
The following day, Dr. Harwani traveled to Action Balaji Hospital, Delhi, where he was invited to speak on a topic that remains highly relevant to clinicians worldwide — “Unmet Needs in GERD: Endoscopic Solutions.”
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) continues to be a significant clinical challenge, especially for patients who do not respond to conventional medical therapy. Dr. Harwani highlighted the growing role of endoscopic anti-reflux procedures, such as TIF (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication) and Stretta therapy, as minimally invasive alternatives that bridge the gap between pharmacological management and surgical intervention.
His session explored the evidence-based benefits, procedural techniques, and patient selection criteria for these evolving endoscopic solutions. The discussion also covered the long-term efficacy of endoscopic interventions in symptom control, mucosal healing, and quality-of-life improvement for GERD patients.
He commended the efforts of Dr. Sawan Bopanna, Dr. Monika Jain, and Dr. Lamba from Action Balaji Hospital, Delhi, for curating such a thought-provoking academic program that encouraged dialogue and learning among experts from across the country.

Reflecting on the weekend, Dr. Yogesh Harwani expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to connect with colleagues, share clinical experiences, and contribute to the collective advancement of endoscopic gastroenterology.
“It’s always a pleasure to participate in academic interactions that challenge conventional thinking and push the boundaries of what we can achieve for our patients. Both sessions in Hyderabad and Delhi reflected the energy and commitment of the Indian GI community toward innovation and excellence,” said Dr. Harwani.
