Gastrointestinal surgery is a medical procedure designed to address disorders affecting organs within the digestive system, encompassing the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
Surgery may involve the removal of either cancerous or noncancerous tumors, as well as the excision of damaged portions, such as sections of the intestine. Additionally, it can be employed to rectify conditions like hernias, characterized by weak spots or openings in the abdominal wall. Minor surgical interventions are also utilized for the identification and diagnosis of abnormalities within the digestive system
