About Gastrointestinal Surgery in Kochi
Gastrointestinal (GI) surgeons operate on the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, colon, liver, gallbladder and pancreas — treating conditions such as severe reflux and hiatal hernia, bowel disease and tumours of the digestive tract. Gastrointestinal Surgery procedures treat the oesophagus, stomach, bowel, liver and pancreas. All 3 gastrointestinal surgery treatments on Go Surgery usually need more than one night in hospital; each treatment page gives the typical stay.
Many GI operations are now performed laparoscopically. Complex procedures, such as pancreatic or major liver surgery, are usually done in high-volume centres by surgeons who specialise in them.
Conditions
These are common reasons patients in Kochi seek a gastrointestinal surgery consultation.
Treatments
Laparoscopic Fundoplication
The top of the stomach is wrapped around the lower food pipe to strengthen the valve against reflux; any hiatal hernia is repaired at the same time.
Colectomy
Part of the colon is removed, often laparoscopically, for cancer, diverticular disease or inflammatory bowel disease, and the ends rejoined.
Whipple Procedure
A major operation removing the head of the pancreas, part of the small intestine, gallbladder and bile duct, mainly for tumours in that region.
