About Gastrointestinal Surgery
The gastrointestinal tract is the passageway of digestive organs that runs from your mouth to the rectum. The GI tract includes the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Gastrointestinal surgery is the branch of medical science that specialises in the surgical management of diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract. This speciality also focuses on the treatment of disorders affecting other digestive organs including the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.
