What is Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery?

Basically, gastrointestinal surgery is a combined term for the two specialties of general surgery that cover upper gastrointestinal surgery and colorectal surgery,

Upper GI surgery provides surgical correction of conditions of the:

  • Esophagus

  • Duodenum - The first part of the intestine
  • Pancreas (Hepato-biliary system)
  • gallbladder

Upper Gastrointestinal surgery includes surgery for Cancers, Gastro-Esophageal Reflux, Gallstones, Obesity, and Pancreatitis. The upper gastrointestinal tract is quite vulnerable to several conditions where surgical treatment is required

Upper Gastrointestinal surgery includes:

  • Gastrectomy- a surgical procedure to treat stomach tumors.

Gastrectomy may be partial or full removal of the stomach and nearby lymph nodes.

  • Oesophagectomy- is surgery to treat Esophageal Tumors that involves the removal of entire or part of the Esophagus.
  • Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery can be used for resection i.e. removal of the stomach and Esophageal tumors.



Gastrointestinal surgeons perform Upper Gastro-intestinal surgery for:

  • Gastro-Esophageal reflux
  • Other benign Esophageal disorders like esophagitis
  • Hiatus Hernias
  • Gastric disorders like Gastritis, Gastric Ulcers, Duodenitis, Duodenal ulcers, and Cancer
  • Gall bladder disease i.e. Gallstone and Cholecystitis (Inflammation of Gall's bladder)
  • Benign Pancreatic disorders, Pancreatitis and Cancer
  • Hepatobiliary disorders
  • Liver diseases like Cysts and Cancer

Upper Gastro-intestinal surgeons often perform surgery for the investigation and surgical management of conditions like:

As on date, the majority of upper gastro-intestinal surgeries are carried out in a minimally invasive way i.e. through laparoscopy or robot-assisted surgery.
