Upper GIT Surgery

Upper Gastrointestinal (Upper GIT) Surgery is a specialised field of medicine within the General Surgery that diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the upper digestive tract, encompassing the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Surgeons in this discipline address a diverse range of disorders, from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias to gastric cancers and benign tumors.

Employing advanced surgical techniques, Upper GIT surgeons aim to alleviate symptoms, restore normal digestive function, and, when necessary, remove tumors or diseased tissues.

Common procedures include fundoplication for GERD, gastrectomy for gastric cancers, and interventions for esophageal or gastric motility disorders.

With a commitment to precision and patient well-being, Upper GIT Surgery at leading tertiary hospitals combines expertise with cutting-edge technology to provide comprehensive care for individuals facing upper gastrointestinal challenges. Seeking consultation with Upper GIT specialists ensures tailored solutions for various upper digestive conditions.
