What is Surgical Gastroenterology?

Surgical gastroenterology is a medical speciality that deals with the surgical treatment of disorders affecting the digestive system.

Surgical gastroenterologists work closely with other specialists such as gastroenterologists, radiologists and oncologists to provide comprehensive treatment to their patients.

These specialists are highly experienced in performing gastrointestinal surgery procedures such as laparoscopic surgeries, transanal endoscopic microsurgeries and robotic surgeries. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure that their patients receive optimal care.

When Should You Consult a Surgical Gastroenterologist?

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should consider consulting a surgical gastroenterologist:

  • Abdominal pain

  • Bloating and gas
  • Diarrhoea or constipation
  • Unexplained weight loss

These symptoms may indicate an underlying condition that requires prompt medical attention. A gastro surgeon can help diagnose and treat these conditions.

What Are the Different Types of Procedures Conducted by Surgical Gastroenterologists?

Surgical gastroenterologists perform a variety of procedures to treat conditions of the digestive system. Some of the most common procedures in surgical gastroenterology include:

  • Laparoscopic surgery: Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique. It uses small incisions and a camera to view and operate on the organs inside the abdomen.
  • Endoscopic surgery: Endoscopic surgery is a procedure in which a flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth or anus to view and operate on the digestive system.
  • Colorectal surgery: Colorectal surgery is performed on the colon or rectum to treat conditions such as cancer, diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Gallbladder surgery: Gallbladder surgery is done to remove the gallbladder to treat conditions such as gallstones.
  • Pancreatic surgery: Pancreatic surgery is performed to remove pancreatic tumours or treat pancreatitis.
  • Liver surgery: It is the surgery to remove liver tumours or treat conditions such as cirrhosis.

Surgical gastroenterologists use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. This can result in less pain and a faster recovery time for patients.
