Gastrointestinal Surgery
Gastrointestinal Surgery
Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery is a specialized branch of surgery that focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders related to the digestive system. This includes organs such as the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. These organs play a vital role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination, making their proper functioning essential for overall health.
