With cutting-edge technology and a patient-centered approach, we aim to provide safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatments for faster recovery and improved outcomes.
What is GI, Minimal Access & Bariatric Surgery?
GI, Minimal Access, and Bariatric Surgery refers to a specialized branch of medical care that focuses on treating disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) system, using advanced surgical techniques to minimize recovery time and improve outcomes.
1. GI Surgery
GI surgery addresses diseases and conditions affecting the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and colon. It encompasses procedures for both benign and malignant conditions, such as:
- Acid reflux (GERD)
- Gallstones
- Colorectal cancer
- Pancreatic and liver diseases
2. Minimal Access Surgery
Also known as laparoscopic surgery, minimal access surgery involves small incisions through which surgeons insert specialized instruments and a camera. This approach is widely used for:
- Hernia repair
- Appendix removal
- Gallbladder surgery
- Bowel resection
Benefits:
- Reduced pain and scarring
- Shorter hospital stays
- Faster recovery
3. Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is designed for individuals with severe obesity or those with weight-related health conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Common procedures include:
- Gastric bypass
- Sleeve gastrectomy
- Adjustable gastric banding
These surgeries not only help in significant weight loss but also improve metabolic health.
Together, GI, Minimal Access, and Bariatric Surgery offer a comprehensive approach to managing complex medical conditions with minimal discomfort and maximum efficiency.
