Surgical Gastroenterology Hospital in Hyderabad, India

The Department of Surgical Gastroenterology at CARE Hospitals aims at providing a standard of care in surgical gastroenterology at an affordable price. It deals with disorders of the digestive system which affect the human digestive tract, which includes the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, appendix, colon, nasal canal, pancreas, liver and gallbladder. The department collaborates with medical gastroenterology, oncology, radiation, surgery, anaesthesia, pathology and microbiology to provide patients with multidisciplinary care. Our surgical gastroenterology hospital in Hyderabad offers patient-centered and evidence-based care.

We treat patients with gastrointestinal problems using surgical approaches under the supervision of our top surgical gastroenterologists in Hyderabad.

Gastroenterology is a speciality that provides treatments to patients with gastrointestinal problems who require surgery with state-of-the-art care. For patients with various gastrointestinal problems, including cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, we offer advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques. Cancer patients can undergo minimally invasive surgery that is oncologically sound, allowing them to heal more quickly and return to normal life more quickly.

Among the few departments which offer a multimodality approach to liver cancer, this department provides a multidisciplinary approach. Transoperative ultrasound guidance has been used in complex liver surgeries, making these procedures safer and leading to better outcomes. Furthermore, liver transplantation is an option for those who have liver cancer or chronic liver disease.

We offer patients with specific gastrointestinal surgical conditions specialized care in dedicated clinics.

Cancers of the gastrointestinal system are generally treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. It is possible to remove part of the stomach or the entire stomach through surgery.

Advantages of Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery for Gastrointestinal Procedures

  • Minimally Invasive Approach: Both laparoscopic and robotic surgery techniques involve small incisions, resulting in less trauma to the surrounding tissues compared to traditional open surgery. This leads to reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times for patients.
  • Improved Cosmesis: Laparoscopic and robotic surgeries result in smaller scars compared to open surgery, which can enhance the cosmetic outcome and improve patient satisfaction with their surgical experience.
  • Enhanced Visualization: Laparoscopic and robotic systems provide surgeons with magnified, high-definition 3D images of the surgical site, offering better visualization of anatomical structures and improved precision during gastrointestinal procedures.
  • Greater Maneuverability and Dexterity: Robotic surgery systems offer enhanced maneuverability and dexterity compared to traditional laparoscopic instruments. The robotic arms can rotate 360 degrees and mimic the movements of the surgeon's hands with greater precision, allowing for more intricate and delicate maneuvers in confined spaces within the abdomen.
  • Reduced Blood Loss: The precise dissection and cauterization capabilities of laparoscopic and robotic instruments help minimize blood loss during gastrointestinal procedures, leading to fewer transfusions and lower rates of intraoperative complications.
  • Lower Risk of Surgical Site Infections: With smaller incisions and reduced tissue trauma, laparoscopic and robotic surgery techniques are associated with lower rates of surgical site infections compared to open surgery, promoting faster wound healing and reduced risk of postoperative complications.

What are the specific surgical gastroenterology procedures performed?

Surgical gastroenterology encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating disorders affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Some specific surgical procedures performed by gastroenterologists include:

  • Esophageal Procedures:
    • Fundoplication: Surgical procedure to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by wrapping the top of the stomach around the lower esophagus to prevent acid reflux.
    • Esophagectomy: Removal of part or all of the esophagus, often performed for esophageal cancer or severe esophageal dysmotility disorders.
  • Stomach Procedures:
    • Gastrectomy: Surgical removal of all or part of the stomach, commonly performed for gastric cancer or severe peptic ulcer disease.
    • Bariatric Surgery: Various procedures such as gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or gastric banding to promote weight loss in individuals with obesity.
  • Small Intestine Procedures:
    • Small Bowel Resection: Surgical removal of a portion of the small intestine, often performed for conditions such as Crohn's disease, small bowel tumors, or ischemic bowel disease.
  • Colon and Rectal Procedures:
    • Colectomy: Removal of all or part of the colon, performed for conditions such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diverticulitis, or severe colonic dysmotility disorders.
    • Proctectomy: Surgical removal of the rectum, often performed for rectal cancer or inflammatory conditions affecting the rectum.
  • Anal Procedures:
    • Hemorrhoidectomy: Surgical removal of hemorrhoids (swollen and inflamed veins in the anus or rectum) for symptomatic relief.
    • Fistulotomy or Fistulectomy: Surgical procedures to treat anal fistulas, abnormal connections between the anal canal and surrounding skin or tissues.
