Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology focuses on diseases affecting the digestive system — organs from the mouth to the anus, including the alimentary tract. Gastroenterologists specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders in areas such as hepatology (liver), endoscopy, and proctology (anus and rectum), as well as inflammatory bowel diseases.

Common medical procedures performed by gastroenterologists worldwide include:

• Colonoscopy and Flexible Sigmoidoscopy: Examination of the colon for diagnosis and disease detection.
• Liver Biopsy: Detecting liver anomalies, inflammation, and fibrosis.
• Gastrointestinal Surgery: Surgical management of diseases such as:
  • Achalasia
  • Esophageal and Gallbladder Diseases
  • Stomach Tumors (GIST)
  • Hiatal, Ventral, and Paraesophageal Hernias
  • Mediastinal Masses
  • Chron’s Disease
  • GERD (Gastrointestinal Reflux Disease)
  • Cancers of the Gallbladder, Stomach, Liver, Pancreas, Esophagus, and Colon
• Treatments for Digestive Diseases: Including ulcers, malabsorption syndrome, cholecystitis, diverticulosis, cirrhosis, and pancreatitis.
• Capsule Endoscopy: Examination of the small intestine using a tiny video capsule.
