Manju D. Chandrasegaram is a Gastroenterologist based on North Terrace in Adelaide, SA 5000.
In everyday terms, this is the kind of doctor you see when problems involve the gut and the organs that help digestion. That can mean the stomach, bowel, liver, bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas. Over time, patients often come in with symptoms like pain in the right upper abdomen, ongoing nausea, bloating, change in bowel habits, or jaundice (yellow skin or eyes). In many cases, careful tests and scans are needed before treatment choices are made.
Manju also looks after people with gallbladder and bile duct conditions. This includes issues like gallstones, cholecystitis, cholangitis, and blockages that can lead to jaundice or cholestasis. Some patients need procedures to remove stones or place a stent when bile flow is blocked. Others may be referred for gallbladder removal, depending on what’s going on.
Pancreas problems are also part of the work. This can include acute pancreatitis, long-term or hereditary pancreatitis, and cancers that affect the pancreas or the nearby area. At times, treatment may involve endoscopic care and more specialised procedures, including surgery when it’s the right option.
There’s also a cancer and screening side to this work. Manju cares for people with colorectal cancer and other cancers of the gut, including cancers around the ampulla, and neuroendocrine tumours. Procedures like colonoscopy and endoscopy are important for checking symptoms, finding causes, and sometimes taking samples for diagnosis.
Some of the procedures used in care can include endoscopy and colonoscopy, and when needed, stent placement. In more complex cases, surgical pathways such as pancreatectomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy may be part of the plan, based on the diagnosis.
Education and work history details aren’t listed here, so it’s not possible to share specific degrees or years of experience. Research and clinical trial involvement also isn’t provided in the available information.
What does stay clear is the focus: getting to the cause, using the right tests, and supporting patients through treatment for digestive and related conditions, from day-to-day gut issues to more serious problems.
