Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery

Gastrointestinal cancer surgery involves surgical procedures to remove tumors or cancerous tissue from the digestive system, which includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and colon. The goal is to eliminate the cancer, alleviate symptoms, and improve patients' quality of life. The type of surgery varies based on cancer location and stage, ranging from minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy to more extensive surgeries like organ resections. Post-surgery, patients often undergo rehabilitation and may require additional treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, to ensure comprehensive care and improve outcomes.
