Surgical Gastroenterology

Surgical Gastroenterology is the branch of surgery focused on the digestive system and its disorders. Surgical treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, which include the organs from mouth to anus, along the alimentary canal, are the focus of this specialty.

Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery, band-aid surgery or keyhole surgery is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed through small incisions by the use of an optical scope inserted into the abdomen and minimally invasive instruments.
