What is Surgical Gastroenterology?

Surgical Gastroenterology is a specialized branch of surgery that focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders affecting the digestive system. This includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts.

Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases can range from common problems like gallstones and hernias to complex conditions such as cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic pancreatitis. Surgical Gastroenterology plays a vital role in managing these disorders through advanced surgical techniques, including laparoscopic (minimally invasive) and open surgeries. The aim is to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and improve the patient’s overall quality of life.
