Overview Section

Surgical Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology is a specialised field of medicine that includes the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the oesophagus, stomach, large intestine, liver, small intestine, gall bladder, and pancreas. Although GI tract diseases are resolved with the minimum invasion and oral medications, sometimes, when the disease gets too severe then, the condition is treated with the help of surgical intervention.

Surgery is the finest work that needs to be done with 100% accuracy and precision, and opting for such specialised care is critical for success in the treatment and overall health of the individual. This is where the Gleneagles Hospital comes into the picture, a top Surgical Gastroenterology Hospital in Mumbai dedicated to continuous improvement and research-based treatment options for these critical conditions.

Conditions Treated

As mentioned earlier, the Gasteroenology condition can generally be treated with the help of medications and lifestyle changes, but sometimes, these conditions become severe if left untreated. In that situation, the disorder needs to be treated with the help of a surgical intervention. At Gleneagles, we offer surgical treatments for a wide range of Gastrointestinal diseases which include: 

  • Colorectal Cancer: A condition which is basically cancer that forms in the colon or rectum, typically involving surgical procedures for the removal of the tumours.
  • Gallbladder Disorders: Conditions including gallstones and cholecystitis, among others, typically require laparoscopic surgery, removing the gallbladder entirely.
  • Liver Diseases: Includes cases of cirrhosis, liver cancer, hepatitis, and a few other similar conditions requiring the surgical removal or transplant of the liver.
  • Disorders related to the Pancreas: These include pancreatitis and pancreatic carcinoma, where surgeries are usually applied to remove neoplastic conditions or to resolve complications.
  • Obesity & Metabolic Disorders: diseases like obesity; in this respect, surgery through bariatric surgery is essential for weight reduction and health improvements, including gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.
  • Diverticular Disease: a condition related to small pouches on the wall of the colon that become inflamed or infected and hence require surgical treatment in its severe form.
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): This condition comprises diseases such as Crohn's disease & ulcerative colitis, which might necessitate surgery when the drugs are ineffective.
  • Hernias: An organ or tissue protrudes through a weak area in the abdominal wall, often requiring surgical repair.
  • Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A serious condition involving bleeding in the digestive tract, which may require surgery to locate and treat the source of bleeding.
