Dr. Yogesh Batra — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Yogesh Batra is a Senior Consultant at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in the Delhi NCR, with more than 25 years of experience in gastroenterology and hepatobiliary medicine.

His list is built on the endoscope. He performs ERCP, therapeutic endoscopy, advanced polypectomy, endoscopic hemostasis, endoscopic dilatation and GI stenting. On the medical side he manages chronic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic pancreatitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and inflammatory bowel disease in the form of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Both of his first degrees were taken at GSVM Medical College in Kanpur: the MBBS and the MD in medicine. He then took his DM in gastroenterology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi.

Publication is the largest part of his record. He has more than 50 ISI publications and 80 publications in PubMed, has organized numerous conferences, and has been selected as an evaluator for national-level conferences and journals. He has also travelled to institutions in Hong Kong and Germany, and his record notes a national chapter role in events.

An output on that scale, alongside an evaluator role for journals and conferences, places the academic half of his work at about the same weight as the clinical half. The procedures at the head of his list, from advanced polypectomy through endoscopic hemostasis to stenting, are all interventional rather than diagnostic, so both sides of his record describe a practice at the therapeutic end of the specialty.
