Welcome to the Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, where our dedication to excellence extends to every facet of digestive health and liver care, including surgical interventions. Within our department, our team of specialists collaborates seamlessly to provide a comprehensive range of services. While gastroenterologists and hepatologists focus on non-surgical aspects, our surgical gastroenterologists specialize in interventions requiring surgical expertise. From intricate diagnostic evaluations and medical management to advanced endoscopic procedures and surgical interventions, we offer personalized
treatment plans tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Our surgical gastroenterologists are adept at performing a wide array of procedures, ranging from minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques to more traditional open surgeries, repairing hernias to highly advanced keyhole liver pancreas or oesophagal cancer surgeries, and bariatric surgeries and organ transplantation. Whether it’s removing gastrointestinal tumours, repairing hernias, or performing organ transplants, our team employs the latest advancements in surgical technology and techniques to achieve optimal outcomes for our patients.
In addition to our clinical endeavours, our department is actively engaged in cutting-edge research initiatives aimed at advancing the understanding and treatment of gastrointestinal and liver diseases. Through collaborative efforts, we strive to uncover new insights, develop innovative therapies, and improve overall patient care. Education is also central to our mission. We provide comprehensive training programs and educational resources to empower both patients and healthcare providers with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of gastrointestinal and liver health.
As you explore our website, we invite you to learn more about our services, research initiatives, and educational opportunities. Whether you’re seeking consultation, treatment, or simply looking to deepen your understanding, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
