About Gastrointestinal Surgery About Gastrointestinal Surgery
The gastrointestinal tract is the passageway of digestive organs that runs from your mouth to the rectum. The GI tract includes the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Gastrointestinal surgery is the branch of medical science that specialises in the surgical management of diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract. This speciality also focuses on the treatment of disorders affecting other digestive organs including the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.

Gastrointestinal surgeries we offerGastrointestinal surgeries we offer
Piles surgery
Piles are enlarged blood vessels that occur around or inside the anus. They present as small discoloured lumps and become more common with age. Surgical treatment includes procedures like stapling, artery ligation and advanced LASER assisted treatment that offers benefits of no cuts, no scars and no recurrence.Hernia surgery
A hernia is the protrusion of any internal organ or another body part through the weakened muscle wall or tissue containing it. If left untreated, hernias can cause life-threatening complications. Hernias are repaired through open and laparoscopic surgeries lasting nearly 45 minutes.Bariatric surgery
For individuals struggling with obesity and complications arising from being overweight, the CK Birla Hospital offers a wide range of bariatric surgery services. Bariatric (weight loss) surgery includes various procedures such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.Gallstone removal surgery
Gallstones are hardened stone-like objects that develop and collect in the gallbladder. Gallstones develop in varying sizes and hence may affect every patient differently. Surgical interventions are offered to remove gallstones or, in some cases, the gallbladder through minimal access manner.Gastrointestinal general surgery
Gastrointestinal general surgeries are performed to treat diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract that includes the oesophagus, stomach, intestine, rectum, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Common procedures include gastro-oesophageal surgeries, hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeries, appendectomies among others.Elective general surgery
Elective surgery is a procedure that is planned in advance and does not involve a medical urgency. However, elective surgery does not necessarily mean that it is optional. These include biopsies, sphincterotomy, suturing of wounds, wide local excision, and surgery for diabetic foot care.Robotic Bariatric Surgery
Robot assisted surgeries are more precision oriented, with improved accuracy. Here the robot provides real time AI assistance which helps plan and execute surgeries to improve clinical outcomes. This minimally invasive procedure is gradually becoming the preferred approach over laparoscopic approach. This leads to minimal blood loss and minimizes chances of infections.Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum protrudes outside the anus due to weakening of the muscles and ligaments that support it. It can result from factors such as chronic constipation, childbirth, or muscle weakness. Symptoms include a protrusion of tissue from the anus, difficulty controlling bowel movements, and discomfort. Diagnosis involves physical examination and may include imaging tests. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes and pelvic floor exercises to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the prolapse. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and restore normal bowel function and quality of life.Colostomy
A colostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the abdominal wall, known as a stoma, through which a portion of the colon (large intestine) is brought to the surface. This procedure is typically performed when a portion of the colon needs to be bypassed or removed due to conditions like colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or trauma. The colostomy allows stool to pass directly from the colon into a disposable pouch attached to the abdomen, bypassing the rectum. Colostomies can be temporary or permanent, and they may significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with certain medical conditions.Read More :
