A gastroenterologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats diseases of the stomach, intestines, and digestive system. They are experts in both medical and endoscopic approaches. For any persistent stomach issues, visiting a gastroenterologist is recommended.
Surgical gastro involves operations on the digestive tract, such as removing tumors, repairing hernias, or treating severe conditions like ulcers. Gastrosurgeons use minimally invasive (3D HD laparoscopic) and open techniques for safer, quicker recovery. Consult a gastrosurgeon for the right surgical solution.
Gastro surgery is recommended when non-surgical treatments fail to control digestive diseases such as severe reflux, cancer, complicated hernia, or obstruction. Your doctor may also suggest surgery for tumors, bleeding, or life-threatening conditions. It is always chosen with careful evaluation of your individual case.
A gastrectomy (partial or total stomach removal) is performed to treat stomach cancer, severe ulcers, or non-healing bleeding. The surgery ensures removal of the diseased part and restores digestive tract continuity. It is recommended only when absolutely necessary.
Recovery after gastro surgery depends on your health, the type of operation, and whether it was minimally invasive. Most patients spend 2-7 days in the hospital and can return to normal activities in 2-4 weeks. Always follow your doctor’s instructions for the safest recovery.
If you have any kind of gastrointestinal or HPB surgical emergency, visit Dr. Jivraj Mehta Hospital. An expert doctor is always available & treatment will be provided at once.
