A GI surgeon specialises in diagnosing and surgically treating conditions affecting the digestive system, including the oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, intestines, and rectum.
You should consult a GI surgeon if you have persistent digestive problems, abdominal pain, bleeding, unexplained weight loss, or if you require surgery for conditions like hernias, gallstones, or cancers of the digestive tract.
These are procedures done using small incisions with laparoscopic or robotic techniques, offering faster recovery, less pain, and reduced hospital stay.
Preparation may include preoperative tests, fasting, medication adjustments, and following specific instructions from your surgeon.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Minimally invasive surgeries often allow discharge in 1–3 days, while complex procedures may require more extended hospitalisation and rehabilitation.
