Things You Need to Know about Laparoscopic GI Surgery

While some problems with the digestive system can be treated with medication and lifestyle changes, others require surgery. Surgery to treat diseases related to the digestive tract is called gastrointestinal surgery. This type of operation is aimed at removing cancer or non-cancerous matter from the digestive tract or repairing a damaged part of the digestive tract.

 In general, gastrointestinal surgery is divided into two categories-

  1. Upper GI surgery 
  2. Lower GI surgery

Upper GI surgery focuses on the upper gastrointestinal tract, such as the stomach, esophagus, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. 

While on the other hand, lower GI laparoscopic surgery involves operating the lower gastrointestinal tract, such as the small intestine, colon, rectum, etc. Based on surgical methods, gastrointestinal procedures are safely carried out with laparoscopic surgery.
