Understanding Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery
Gastrointestinal Surgery: An Overview
While many digestive system problems can be managed through medication, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications, certain conditions require surgical intervention for effective treatment. Gastrointestinal (GI) surgery is a type of surgery that addresses diseases affecting the digestive tract, aiming to remove harmful growths (both cancerous and non-cancerous) or repair damage to various parts of the Gastrointestinal (GI) system.
GI surgery is divided into two categories:
Upper GI Surgery: Targets the upper digestive tract, including the stomach, esophagus, liver, pancreas, and gall bladder, often treating conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, and cancers.
Lower GI Surgery: Focuses on the small intestine, colon, and rectum, treating conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), colorectal cancer, and diverticulitis.
