Surgical Gastroenterology Services
Precision Surgery for Digestive Health
Your digestive system plays a vital role in overall well-being from absorbing nutrients to eliminating toxins.
When disorders of the stomach, liver, pancreas, or intestines require surgical intervention, expertise and precision are crucial.
At our Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, we specialize in advanced, minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgeries that restore digestive function, relieve pain, and improve quality of life.
What is Surgical Gastroenterology?
Surgical Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that deals with surgical management of diseases affecting the digestive organs including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, intestines, and rectum.
Our expert surgical gastroenterologists use laparoscopic, robotic, and open surgical techniques to treat complex digestive conditions safely and effectively. Every procedure is customized to achieve optimal recovery and long-term results.
Conditions We Treat
Our department handles the full spectrum of gastrointestinal and hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) disorders:
Upper GI Conditions
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Hiatal hernia and esophageal motility disorders
- Peptic ulcers and stomach tumors
Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Disorders
- Gallstones and gallbladder infections
- Bile duct obstructions and strictures
- Liver cysts, abscesses, and cancers
- Pancreatitis and pancreatic tumors
Intestinal and Colorectal Disorders
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) — Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis
- Intestinal perforations and obstructions
- Colon and rectal cancer
- Diverticular disease
- Piles (hemorrhoids), fissures, and fistulas
Emergency Gastrointestinal Conditions
- Perforations and bleeding ulcers
- Intestinal blockage or rupture
- Acute appendicitis and trauma-related injuries
Each case is evaluated through advanced imaging and endoscopic diagnostics to ensure precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
Our Surgical Expertise
1. Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery
We specialize in minimally invasive procedures using tiny incisions and high-definition cameras for faster healing and reduced pain.
Common laparoscopic surgeries include:
- Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal)
- Appendectomy
- Hernia repair
- Anti-reflux surgery
- Bariatric (weight-loss) surgery
2. Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery
Our surgeons perform complex operations involving the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts, including tumor resections, pancreatic cyst drainage, and liver segmental surgeries — all supported by modern anesthesia and intensive care facilities.
3. Colorectal and Cancer Surgery
We use oncology-guided surgical techniques with precise margins and lymph-node clearance for colon, rectal, and gastric cancers.
Whenever possible, we employ laparoscopic and robotic methods for faster recovery and better cosmetic results.
4. Advanced GI Reconstruction
For patients with intestinal strictures, congenital anomalies, or post-trauma damage, we perform reconstructive surgeries that restore normal digestive continuity and absorption.
5. Endoscopic and Day-Care Procedures
Our unit also provides endoscopic interventions such as ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), stent placement, and diagnostic laparoscopy — allowing same-day recovery for selected cases.
Technology and Safety Standards
Our operation theatres are equipped with 4K laparoscopic systems, C-arm imaging, and real-time anesthesia monitoring. We maintain sterile, modular surgical suites with infection-control protocols matching international standards. Every procedure follows a multidisciplinary approach — with input from gastroenterologists, oncologists, radiologists, and anesthetists for complete, coordinated care.
Patient-Centered Care
We understand that gastrointestinal problems can affect not just health, but also confidence and lifestyle.
Our team prioritizes:
- Early diagnosis to avoid complications.
- Minimally invasive procedures for less pain and quicker discharge.
- Personalized nutrition and rehabilitation after surgery.
- Clear communication and emotional support for patients and families.
Our approach combines clinical excellence with compassion, ensuring a seamless healing journey from admission to recovery.

Life After GI Surgery
Recovery doesn’t stop in the operating room. We provide individualized post-operative plans, including dietary counseling, physiotherapy, and follow-up consultations.
Most laparoscopic procedures allow discharge within 24–48 hours, and patients can resume normal routines within weeks guided by our expert rehabilitation team.
Frequently Asked Questions
A gastroenterologist manages digestive diseases through medicines and endoscopy. A surgical gastroenterologist performs operations when medical therapy isn’t enough such as for gallstones, cancers, hernias, or severe intestinal disorders.
Yes. Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgeries are minimally invasive, using small incisions and advanced cameras. They reduce bleeding, infection risk, and hospital stay while ensuring faster recovery. Our surgeons follow strict international safety protocols for every case.
Recovery depends on the type of surgery. Most laparoscopic procedures allow patients to return to light activity within one to two weeks. Complex surgeries may require longer rest and guided rehabilitation. Our team provides full post-surgery support for a smooth recovery.
