Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is a surgical procedure used to manage obesity and obesity-related conditions. Long term weight loss with bariatric surgery may be achieved through alteration of gut hormones, physical reduction of stomach size, reduction of nutrient absorption, or a combination of these. Standard of care procedures include Roux en-Y bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, from which weight loss is largely achieved by altering gut hormone levels responsible for hunger and satiety, leading to a new hormonal weight set point. In morbidly obese people, bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for weight loss and reducing complications.

Gastro Intestinal surgery

Gastrointestinal surgery is a specialized branch of surgery focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. It involves both open and minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic-assisted) procedures to treat conditions such as gastrointestinal cancers, hernias, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), gallstones, and bowel obstructions.

General Surgery

General Surgery involves surgical treatment for a wide range of conditions affecting the abdomen, gastrointestinal tract, skin, soft tissues, and endocrine organs. Surgeons in this department perform procedures like appendectomies, gallbladder removal, and hernia repairs. They also deal with trauma, burns, and infections requiring surgical intervention.
