Disease, food, and mental stress all have the potential to disturb the digestive system. While some digestive issues can be treated with medication and a lifestyle change, others require surgery. Pancham Hospitals’ healthcare staff provide competent, comprehensive care for patients requiring gastrointestinal surgery. Pancham Hospitals has highly competent surgeons that treat digestive system problems with experience, compassion, and the most up-to-date treatments. The Gastrointestinal Surgery Program at Pancham Hospital is dedicated to resolving difficult digestive disorders. We have a high level of skill and experience in dealing with both common and uncommon difficulties. Our surgeons are constantly working to improve your quality of life. Even in the most difficult-to-treat patients, that sense of purpose is the driving factor behind our excellent results.
The following are some of our program’s highlights:
Leaders in the field of gastrointestinal surgery
All aspects of gastrointestinal surgery are covered by our national and international competence. Among the surgeons on our team are world-renowned professionals in their fields. Every day, we strive to improve surgical techniques and your care experience to provide the best possible results.
Many of our surgeons have completed fellowship training and are experts in hernia and stomach surgery. Their experience provides a degree of competence that is difficult to match.
We are a high-volume center for esophageal, bariatric, and hepatobiliary (liver and pancreatic) procedures, among others. Because of our outstanding track record of caring for the most complicated cases, both providers and patients seek out our expertise. Although we undertake a large number of difficult procedures, our results are among the finest in the country.
Our surgeons are trained in the most cutting-edge surgical techniques, such as laparoscopic (small incisions) and robotic surgery. We always tailor a technique to your specific requirements and circumstances.
The following are some examples of GI procedures used to treat gastrointestinal problems and diseases:
To treat stomach cancer, a surgeon may do the following procedures: A partial gastrectomy involves the removal of a piece of the stomach. To verify that all of cancer has been removed, doctors usually remove lymph nodes and fatty tissue as well. The whole stomach, as well as surrounding lymph nodes and adipose tissue, is removed during a total gastrectomy.
Tumors and other problems of the pancreas, intestine, and bile duct are treated with the Whipple procedure. It is the most common surgery for treating pancreatic cancer that has spread to the pancreas head.
Acute pancreatitis usually strikes unexpectedly, and it’s usually a short-term (a few days to weeks) condition that clears up with proper medical care. Chronic pancreatitis is a long-term illness that develops after several bouts of acute pancreatitis. It can linger for months or even years.
A liver abscess is a pus-filled lump in the liver that can result from a liver injury or an intra-abdominal infection that spreads through the portal vein. The majority of these abscesses are pyogenic or amoebic in nature, with parasites and fungi accounting for a tiny percentage.
The presence of gallstones in the common bile duct (CBD), also known as choledocholithiasis, is known as common bile duct stone. This syndrome can result in jaundice and damage to liver cells. Choledocholithotomy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography are used to treat the condition (ERCP).
Patients with primary and secondary liver cancers continue to get liver resection as a standard treatment. Resection of the liver is a curative option in the case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, liver transplantation is the standard therapy for HCC patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
A choledochal cyst is an abnormality in the duct (tube) that transports bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine during birth. Bile is produced by the liver to aid in the digestion of food. Bile may back up in the liver when a youngster develops a choledochal cyst, an enlargement of that duct.
Periodic dilatation is the first line of treatment for patients with strictures caused by reflux. An esophageal resection is required for Grade I and II strictures. Bile diversion or esophageal resection should be performed in grade III patients.
Gastrointestinal surgery encompasses a wide range of surgical methods used to diagnose and treat gastrointestinal (GI) problems. Depending on the problem or disease, surgery can be performed on both the upper and lower GI tracts. We use modern minimally invasive procedures to treat various forms of benign (noncancerous) ailments like heartburn and swallowing issues. When other clinics in the vicinity are unable to cure difficult-to-remove tumors, we are known for executing extremely sophisticated treatments.
