What is Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery?

Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the digestive system, including the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. It is used to treat conditions such as acid reflux, gallstones, hernias, and colorectal diseases.

Key Areas of Gastrointestinal Surgery

• Upper Gastrointestinal (Upper GI) Surgery: Procedures involving the oesophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine.
• Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery: Focused on the liver, pancreas, and biliary system (including the gallbladder and bile ducts).
• Colorectal Surgery (Lower GI Surgery): Treatment of conditions affecting the colon, rectum, and anus.
• Minimally Invasive and Advanced Surgical Techniques: Including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures for reduced recovery time and minimal scarring.

Why is GI Surgery Important?

• Prevents Complications: Addresses untreated conditions like ulcers, tumors, and blockages that can worsen over time.
• Enhances Quality of Life: Improves the health and well-being of patients dealing with chronic digestive disorders.
• Reduces Cancer Risk: Early removal of precancerous tissue can reduce the risk of developing cancer.
• Restores Digestive Function: Relieves pain and restores proper digestive function, allowing for a better quality of life.
