What is Surgical Gastroenterology??

Surgical Gastroenterology (SGE) also called as Gastrointestinal surgery (GI Surgery) is a highly evolved and specialised area of surgery that deals with surgical problems of the digestive system which includes organs like the Esophagus, Stomach, Small intestine, Large intestine, Rectum, Anal canal, Liver, Pancreas, Gall bladder and Bile duct. Surgery may be used to remove a cancerous or noncancerous growth or damaged part of the body, such as the intestine. It may also be used to repair a problem like a hernia (a hole or weak spot in the wall of the abdomen). Minor surgical procedures are used to screen and diagnose digestive system problems. It is a well-recognized speciality today. Diseases of the GI system are among the most common disorders in India.

The evolution of this department from the erstwhile General Surgery was an end result of an explosion of knowledge in the field of gastroenterology and enormous technical and technological advancements. The arrival of this Specialty has resulted in better outcomes for patients with complex GI surgical problems. The three domains of SGE are Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB), Foregut or Upper GI Surgery and Colorectal surgery. Endoscopy and Laparoscopic expertise are incorporated into these domains, providing a complete solution for GI surgical problems. 

Department of Surgical Gastroenterology at Apollo Adlux Hospital provides expert advice and treatment options for all diseases of the digestive tract. The department has state of the art Operation Theatre complex with all the latest technologies to ensure a safe surgery. It also has facilities to conduct advanced laparoscopic surgeries and is one of the few centres to have a 3D Laparoscopic system and the latest Robotic DaVinci Xi System.

Our expert doctor at the department adopts an empathetic approach to the patients and the illness. We believe in patiently hearing out the patients, applying sound clinical judgment and using appropriate investigations to reach a diagnosis and then offering the best possible treatment options as per patient needs.
