Common procedures include appendectomy, colectomy, cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), gastrectomy (stomach removal), bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery), and procedures for managing inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, involves making small incisions and using a camera and specialized tools to perform surgery. It is often used in gastroenterology for procedures like gallbladder removal and hernia repair, resulting in shorter recovery times and less scarring.
Colorectal surgery is a sub-specialty within surgical gastroenterology that focuses on conditions of the colon and rectum. Common procedures include colectomies (partial or total colon removal) and treatment for conditions like colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, and Crohn's disease.
Gastroenterological surgeons play a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of GI cancers, including removing tumors, affected organs, and lymph nodes. They may also perform reconstructive surgery to restore the digestive tract after cancer removal.
In some cases, lifestyle changes, medications, or less invasive treatments can manage GI conditions effectively, eliminating the need for surgery. Consult with a gastroenterologist to explore non-surgical options.
