Surgical Gastroenterology

The Surgical Gastroenterology Department is a specialized division of our hospital dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders and diseases affecting the digestive system. Our team of highly skilled surgeons and healthcare professionals is committed to providing comprehensive care to patients with gastrointestinal ailments.

The Surgical Gastroenterology Department plays a vital role in a hospital as it focuses on surgical interventions for conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, and colon. Our department utilizes advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art technology to offer effective and personalized treatment options for various ailments.

At SIDS Surgical Gastroenterology Department, we treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Our surgeons specialize in procedures such as fundoplication and LINX device placement to manage GERD, a condition characterized by the reflux of stomach acid into the oesophagus.
• Gallbladder Diseases: We perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive surgery, to treat conditions such as gallstones, gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), and gallbladder polyps.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Surgical interventions such as bowel resection and strictureplasty may be recommended for patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, the two main types of IBD.
• Colorectal Cancer: Our surgeons are experienced in performing surgeries for the removal of colorectal tumours, including colon and rectal resections, to treat and manage colorectal cancer.
• Pancreatic Diseases: Surgical treatment options for pancreatic disorders include pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure), distal pancreatectomy, and pancreatic cyst removal, among others.
• Liver Diseases: Our department offers surgical management of liver diseases, including liver resection, liver transplantation, and surgical treatments for liver tumours and cysts. 
• Hernias: Surgical repair of various types of hernias, such as inguinal, umbilical, incisional, and hiatal hernias, is performed by our skilled surgeons.
• Bariatric Surgery: Our Surgical Gastroenterology Department also specializes in weight loss surgeries, including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric banding, to help patients with severe obesity achieve their weight loss goals.

The Surgical Gastroenterology Department plays a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal conditions. Our team collaborates closely with gastroenterologists, radiologists, pathologists, and other specialists to ensure accurate diagnosis and develop personalized treatment plans for each patient. Surgical interventions may be recommended when conservative or non-surgical treatments have proven ineffective or when immediate intervention is required.

At SIDS Hospital, our Surgical Gastroenterology Department is committed to delivering exceptional care and achieving the best possible outcomes for our patients. Our experienced surgeons, advanced surgical techniques, and state-of-the-art facilities enable us to provide effective treatments while prioritizing patient safety and comfort.
