Gastrointestinal Surgery

If you are experiencing persistent digestive issues, pain, or have been diagnosed with a condition affecting your stomach, intestines, or digestive organs, gastrointestinal (GI) surgery might be the solution. This specialized surgical approach treats various diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), liver, pancreas, and gallbladder to restore digestive health and improve quality of life.

What is Gastrointestinal Surgery?

Gastrointestinal surgery involves surgical treatment for diseases of the digestive tract. Depending on the condition, it can be performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques or traditional open surgery. These procedures help treat conditions ranging from acid reflux and ulcers to complex GI cancers.

Conditions Treated with GI Surgery

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) – Surgical correction for chronic acid reflux.
• Peptic Ulcers – Removal of ulcers that don’t heal with medications.
• Gastrointestinal Cancer – Surgery for stomach, colon, pancreatic, or liver cancer.
• Intestinal Obstructions – Removal of blockages in the digestive tract.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Surgical treatment for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
• Hernias – Repair of stomach and abdominal wall hernias.

Benefits of Gastrointestinal Surgery

• Minimally invasive options for faster recovery and less pain.
• Effective treatment for chronic digestive disorders.
• Improved digestion and overall health.
• Life-saving surgery for GI cancers and critical conditions.

What to Expect?

Before surgery, doctors will conduct tests like endoscopy, imaging scans, or biopsies to diagnose the condition. Most procedures are performed under anesthesia, with recovery time depending on the complexity of the surgery. Minimally invasive surgeries often allow patients to recover faster and resume daily activities sooner.
