Facing concerns like gastrointestinal polyps, abnormal tissue growth, or early-stage digestive tumors? At Curis Life, Andheri West, we specialize in the EMR procedure (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection) — a highly effective, non-surgical mucosal excision method. Whether it’s for polyp removal via EMR, Barrett’s esophagus treatment, or addressing early cancers, our expert gastroenterologist provides precise care with cutting-edge equipment and compassionate attention.
What is Endoscopic Mucosal Resection?
The Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) is a minimally invasive endoscopy procedure designed to remove mucosal lesions, polyps, or superficial tumors from the GI tract. Unlike traditional surgery, it allows targeted treatment through an endoscope inserted via the mouth or rectum, depending on the location of the lesion.
It’s commonly used for:
- GI tract EMR in the esophagus, stomach, or colon
- Endoscopic lesion resection of flat or large polyps
- Removing abnormal mucosa in Barrett’s esophagus
- Treating early-stage cancer without open surgery

Endoscopic Lesion Resection – How EMR Works
The EMR procedure involves:
- Identifying the lesion using a high-resolution endoscope.
- Submucosal injection beneath the lesion to lift and isolate it.
- Snaring and removing the lesion without cutting into deeper layers.
- Extracting the tissue for lab analysis.
Performed under light sedation, EMR is safe, efficient, and often completed as an outpatient procedure.
Benefits of EMR vs Traditional Surgery
- No external incisions
- Shorter recovery time
- Reduced hospital stay
- Precise targeting of abnormal tissue
- Early cancer removal without the need for major surgery
EMR also helps avoid the risks of general anesthesia, particularly important for elderly patients or those with comorbidities.
Precision Medicine
We apply precision medicine to personalize each endoscopic intervention based on your condition, lesion location, and genetic profile. This helps determine whether EMR or alternatives like Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) or surgery are best suited for you, ensuring safe, evidence-based care.
