GI Surgical

What Is GI Surgery?

Gastrointestinal surgery treats a wide range of digestive system conditions — from benign disorders like gallstones or hernias to complex diseases including inflammatory bowel disease and gastrointestinal cancers. These surgeries involve repairing, removing, bypassing or reconstructing parts of the digestive system to restore health and improve quality of life.

GI surgeons evaluate each case carefully to determine the most appropriate approach — whether minimally invasive (laparoscopic/robotic) or traditional open surgery — based on the patient’s condition, overall health, and surgical goals.
