Digestive system is one of the complex systems of our body which can be disturbed by diseases, diets emotional stress. Out of which few can be cured with medicines and by changing lifestyle and maintaining hygiene. But others require surgery. This surgery involves the treatment of upper GIT (esophagus, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas) and lower GIT (stomach, small intestine, large intestine, colon, rectum, anus).
Surgery may be used to remove a cancerous or noncancerous growth or damaged part of the body, such as the intestine. It may also be used to repair a problem like a hernia (a hole or weak spot in the wall of the abdomen). Minor surgical procedures are used to screen and diagnose problems of the digestive system.
