Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery
Upper gastrointestinal surgery refers to surgical procedures that address issues within the upper part of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). This can involve treating conditions like tumors, ulcers, reflux disease, or weight-related issues. Surgeries may include removing parts of the stomach, repairing hernias, or conducting bypass procedures. These operations aim to improve digestion, alleviate symptoms, and enhance overall health. Skilled surgeons use various techniques, including minimally invasive methods, to ensure safety and promote quicker recovery for patients.
