Surgical Gastroenterology

The Gastroenterology Surgery department of Sir Ganga Ram City Hospital offers integrated and holistic diagnosis and treatment for illnesses of the gastrointestinal tract, and also the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas.

The oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine are all part of the gastrointestinal tract, which is a single tubular structure that runs from mouth to anus along the alimentary canal (colon). Basic acid and heartburn to more sophisticated chronic diseases like IBS, Chrohn's, ulcers, and cancer are all examples of digestive disorders. Whereas most gastrointestinal (gi) problems can be managed with medicine and lifestyle changes, structural gastrointestinal disorders (those involving abnormalities in the digestive tracts anatomy) can necessitate corrective surgery.
