FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What exactly does a gastrointestinal surgeon do?

A gastrointestinal surgeon specializes in diagnosing and performing surgery for various diseases that affect the digestive tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. GI surgeons are experts in open and minimally invasive (laparoscopic) procedures to treat complicated digestive diseases.

When does someone need to see a GI surgeon?

If you have chronic abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, jaundice, or if you have been diagnosed with gallstones, hernias, or gastrointestinal cancers, you should see a GI surgeon.

What illnesses do GI surgeons treat most commonly?

GI surgeons often treat gastric ulcers, gallstones, colorectal cancer, hernias, inflammatory bowel disease, tumors in the liver or pancreas, GI bleeding, and obesity.

What is the type of surgeries that are performed by GI surgeons?

GI surgeons perform surgeries such as laparoscopic appendectomy, cholecystectomy (removing the gallbladder), hernia repair, colectomy, surgery for gastric and colorectal cancer, liver resection, pancreatic surgery, and bariatric (obesity) surgery.

Do I always need surgery for my digestive disease?

No. Many digestive diseases can be treated with medications, dietary changes, or endoscopic procedures. Surgery is only performed when more conservative methods cannot be used to treat the disease or when the disease is too dangerous to health to not have surgery.

What do I need to do to prepare for gastrointestinal surgery?

The preparation includes fasting before the surgery, stopping certain medications, and doing preoperative tests, like blood work or imaging. Your doctor will provide specific instructions that are relevant to your situation.

Can gastrointestinal surgeons treat cancer?

Yes. GI surgeons have an important role in managing cancer and removing tumors of the stomach, colon, liver, and pancreas, often in combination with the oncology and radiation teams for continuous cancer care.
