Dr Jillian Rosenstengel

Endoscopic Ultrasound

After graduating from The University of Queensland, Dr Jillian Rosenstengel undertook her gastroenterology training at Townsville Hospital and the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.

She also completed further post-fellowship training in Endoscopic Ultrasound at Indiana University Medical Centre, Indianapolis, USA.

Her special interest is in endoscopic ultrasound of the hepatobiliary tree, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract and mediastinum. She also has an interest in EUS-guided coeliac plexus neurolysis for malignant hepatobiliary pain.

Dr Rosenstengel said she chose to specialise in endoscopic ultrasound as it is an emerging and quickly evolving field.

She said it had added enormously to the ability to diagnose and stage malignancy as well as alleviating pain.

Dr Rosenstengel is also involved in advanced training curriculum development for gastroenterology, which she says is one of the most rewarding aspects of her role.

Her private practice covers a wide range of conditions including general gastroenterology, inflammatory bowel disease, hepatology and diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.

She has sessions at Mater Private Hospital Brisbane’s Endoscopy Unit.
