G.I Surgery
End-to-end expertise under one roof
Surgery may be required to remove the cancerous or non-cancerous growth or damaged part of the digestive system. Below are the kinds of surgeries you may be required to undergo depending on your condition:
Appendicitis
Appendecotomy is performed to remove the appendix when it becomes infected and may be causing inflammation.
Gallbladder disease
Majority of gallbladder diseases happen due to irritation of the gallbladder walls which is mainly caused because of gallstones blocking the duct leading to small intestines. With a simple procedure of cholecystectomy the problem can easily be removed.
GERD & hernia
With the help of a simple surgery called the fundoplication, our qualified team of doctors and surgeons fix the hernia, if there is one, and wrap the top of the stomach around the bottom of the esophagus that strengthens the sphincter and keeps the acid out.
Inflammatory bowel disease
When one is suffering from this disease, their immune system gets on to attacking their intestine which causes pain and inflammation. To avoid this situation and further damage to the intestine, our doctors recommend a surgery called bowel resection, to remove the damaged parts and reconnect the healthy parts to allow the intestine and digestive system to function properly.
Colon cancer
A patient may be required to undergo surgery to remove the cancerous or tumorous parts of the digestive system for example parts of pancreas, liver or intestines to allow the system to work properly and not cause further damage.

Discuss with your doctor about any family history of high cholesterol,enlarged heart or congestive heart failure. Keep in mind, the earliest symptoms of heart disease may not be chest pain. They may be fatigue or shortness of breath.
Your doctor should evaluate your family history and lifestyle. Following that, you will receive a guideline for improving your diet and making exercise a regular part of your life. If your cholesterol levels are high, your physician may recommend medications to help lower cholesterol and decrease your risk of a first heart attack. In addition, some people may benefit from an instant CT scan, which is helpful in assessing people at higher risk who require a more aggressive approach to prevention.
