Surgical Gastroenterology and Liver transplant

Surgical Gastroenterology and Liver transplant

Surgical Gastroenterology is a specialized field of surgery that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. It involves both minimally invasive (laparoscopic) and open surgical procedures to manage conditions such as gastrointestinal cancers, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), hernias, gallstones, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Surgeons in this field also perform bariatric (weight-loss) surgeries and complex pancreatic and hepatobiliary procedures.
