Upper GI Surgery

Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery addresses conditions of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum — the upper section of the digestive system responsible for transporting food and starting digestion. Problems here can cause swallowing difficulties, persistent heartburn, abdominal pain, or vomiting. These surgeries are often performed for structural issues, tumors, severe reflux, or ulcers that don’t respond to medication. Using advanced surgical techniques, including minimally invasive approaches, the aim is to restore normal function, prevent serious complications, and significantly improve a patient’s quality of life.

Conditions treated:
  • Esophageal tumors and strictures
  • Stomach ulcers and tumors
  • Severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  • Hiatal hernia
  • Duodenal tumors and blockages
Benefits:
  • Restores normal swallowing and digestion
  • Relieves symptoms like pain, vomiting, and heartburn
  • Prevents complications such as bleeding or perforation
  • Improves nutritional absorption and quality of life
