Frequently Asked Questions

A gastrointestinal surgeon is a physician who treats and performs surgery on conditions related to the digestive system, specifically the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. They will conduct both an open and a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) procedure to restore digestive health.

The most common conditions that we treat are:

  • Stomach and intestinal ulcers
  • Gallstones and gallbladder disease
  • Colorectal cancer and polyps
  • Hernias (inguinal, umbilical or abdominal)
  • Appendicitis
  • Disorders of the liver, bile duct, and pancreas
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding or obstruction

You should see a GI surgeon if you are experiencing:

  • Persistent abdominal pain or bloating
  • Difficulty digesting food
  • Blood in stool or chronic constipation
  • Sudden or severe abdominal pain
  • Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite

Gastrointestinal surgeons provide procedures such as:

  • Laparoscopic appendectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy
  • Colorectal surgery
  • Stomach and minor intestine surgery
  • Hernia repair
  • Liver and pancreatic surgery
  • Treatment of gastrointestinal cancers

Yes. Most GI surgeries today are minimally invasive, which is associated with smaller incisions, less pain, a shorter recovery time, and fewer complications compared with open surgery.
