Gastroenterology and GI Surgeries Team

Gastroenterology and gastrointestinal (GI) surgery are specialized medical fields focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the digestive system. This includes the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

• Gastroenterology:

  Gastroenterologists are physicians who specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the digestive system. Common conditions they manage include :

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
  • Peptic Ulcers
  • Pancreatitis
  • Hepatitis
  • Gallbladder Diseases
  • Celiac Disease
  • Gastrointestinal (GI) Bleeding

  They use diagnostic tools such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, and advanced imaging studies to assess and diagnose digestive disorders accurately.

• Gastrointestinal Surgery

  Gastrointestinal surgeons perform operative procedures to treat structural or severe digestive system conditions. Common GI surgeries include:

  • Appendectomy – Removal of the appendix (usually due to appendicitis)
  • Cholecystectomy – Removal of the gallbladder (often due to gallstones)
  • Colectomy – Removal of part or all of the colon
  • Gastrectomy – Partial or total removal of the stomach (commonly for gastric cancer)
  • Esophagectomy – Removal of all or part of the esophagus (typically for esophageal cancer).
  • Liver Resection – Removal of a portion of the liver (often for tumors or liver disease)
  • Pancreatic Surgery – Includes procedures like the Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer
  • Bariatric Surgery – Weight-loss surgeries like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy Surgery is usually considered when medical management is ineffective, or when a condition is severe or life-threatening.

These are just a few examples of the many procedures performed by gastrointestinal surgeons. Surgery is typically considered when conservative or medical management is ineffective or when the condition is severe and requires immediate intervention.
