Gastroenterology


The medical specialty of gastroenterology focuses on the oesophagus, large intestine, small intestine, stomach, anus and rectum as well as the digestive organs that connect to them, such as the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas. A gastroenterologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the digestive system.

There are a lot of significant operations being done. Pseudocyst drainage, major liver resections, the Whipple’s operation for pancreatic cancer, the radical esophagectomy for oesophageal cancer, the radical colonectomy for colon cancer, surgery for pancreatitis (Pancreatic neurectomy), and all G.I. oncological surgical procedures are routinely carried out with significantly lower morbidity and mortality.

FAQs

The prognosis of patients who have stomach or gastric cancer can be affected by a wide variety of factors, including the patient's age, the patient's overall health, the location of the cancer, the type of cancer, and the stage of the illness. Like all cancers, stomach cancer is typically most curable when it is discovered early, before the disease has metastasized to other body areas. In its initial stages, stomach cancer can sometimes be treated with just surgery; however, other treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and molecularly targeted therapy, may be incorporated into a patient's treatment plan.

A screening colonoscopy should be performed by a gastroenterologist if you are over 45 years old. In addition to this crucial examination, you may decide to visit a gastroenterologist if you have gastrointestinal symptoms like cramping, pain, discomfort, or unexpected changes in bowel habits.

Stomach pain, substantial heartburn or reflux, significant weight loss or gain, abnormalities in the intestines, or blood in the stool are some of the most frequent symptoms and signs of gastrointestinal diseases.

Colonoscopies, endoscopies, and biopsies are just a few of the diagnostic procedures and medical treatments that gastroenterologists conduct.
