Gastrointestinal Surgery

Gastrointestinal surgery involves surgical procedures aimed at treating problems in the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. Common reasons for surgery include removing tumors, fixing blockages, or treating diseases like Crohn's or diverticulitis. Surgeons may perform these operations using traditional open techniques or minimally invasive approaches, such as laparoscopy, which involves small incisions and less recovery time. The goal is to relieve symptoms, improve function, or address life-threatening conditions, ultimately enhancing the patient’s quality of life. Proper evaluation and follow-up care are essential parts of the process.
