GI surgery refers to gastrointestinal surgery, which is a medical specialty that involves the surgical treatment of diseases and disorders of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. These procedures can range from minimally invasive techniques to more complex operations to correct issues like cancer, ulcers, or obstructions, and are performed when non-invasive treatments are insufficient. What it is Surgical treatment: GI surgery focuses on the surgical diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the digestive tract. Digestive organs: It covers a wide range of organs, including the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Range of conditions: Procedures address both benign and malignant conditions, from simple issues like acid reflux to more serious ones like cancer. Why it's performed When other treatments fail: GI surgery is typically performed when a patient's condition cannot be controlled by medication or other non-invasive treatments. To correct abnormalities: It can be used to correct structural abnormalities and restore digestive function. To improve quality of life: The procedures aim to alleviate symptoms like pain and obstruction, and can improve or even save lives. Types of procedures Minimally invasive: Procedures like laparoscopy use smaller incisions, leading to quicker recovery times and less scarring. Examples: Common procedures include stomach removal (gastrectomy), procedures to treat obesity like sleeve gastrectomy, and operations to repair ulcers or remove tumors.
