A gastroenterologist is a medical specialist focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. This complex system stretches from the mouth to the anus and plays a vital role in nutrient absorption and waste elimination. Gastroenterology covers a broad range of disorders, from common conditions like acid reflux (GERD), peptic ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to more serious diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), chronic liver diseases, pancreatitis, and digestive tract cancers. In India, liver and digestive diseases rank among the top five causes of death, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and expert care. At the Department of General Surgery, patients benefit from a dedicated team of GI surgeons and gastroenterologists with specialized expertise in managing both acute and chronic digestive disorders. From endoscopic evaluations to advanced surgical interventions, the department offers integrated care tailored to each patient's needs. If you're experiencing persistent digestive issues or liver-related symptoms, consult a gastroenterologist for early intervention and effective treatment. Taking care of your digestive health today can prevent serious complications tomorrow.
