What is Gastrointestinal Surgery?

Gastrointestinal surgery is a treatment for diseases of the organs that constitute the digestive system and are involved in digestion. Gastrointestinal surgery also includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. It also includes the liver, appendix, gall bladder, bile duct, and pancreas.

Gastrointestinal Surgery can be performed on both the upper and lower GI tracts, depending on the problem or disease.

Why is Gastrointestinal Surgery performed?

Gastrointestinal Surgery helps remove a cancerous benign i.e. non-cancerous or cancerous growth and damaged or diseased part of the digestive tract, such as the intestine. 

It is often used to repair a problem like a hernia as well. Invariably, Gastrointestinal Surgical procedures are used to screen and diagnose problems of the digestive system such as colonoscopy to detect disease or cancerous growth in the colon.

Gastrointestinal surgical techniques

  • Gastrointestinal surgery in Mumbai is performed through a variety of surgical techniques to diagnose and treat GI disorders.
  • Traditional open surgery – By making one large cut to open up the abdomen.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery – In which the surgeon makes a few small incisions and uses a camera to see inside the abdomen by inserting a camera through one of the holes and surgical instruments in other incisions.
  • Minimally invasive surgery can be performed using an Endoscope or a Laparoscope. 
  • Nowadays, Robotic Gastrointestinal surgery in Mumbai is also performed by surgeons using a computerized system. The surgeon controls the robotic arm with a camera that provides a high-definition, magnified 3D view of the surgical site.  
  • Other arms of the robot hold tiny instruments that are controlled by surgeons while sitting in a console. The robotic arms have a wider range of motion than human hands and wrists and hence provide greater dexterity and flexibility for complex and delicate surgical procedures.
  • Anesthesia is generally used during gastrointestinal surgery. Type of anesthesia i.e. general, local or regional depends upon the type of surgery.
