What is Gastrointestinal Surgery?
Gastrointestinal surgery involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the digestive system, including the stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, gallbladder and related abdominal structures.
Depending on the condition, surgery may be performed using conventional open techniques or minimally invasive approaches such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery.
​
Common Gastrointestinal Procedures
Gallbladder Surgery
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is commonly performed for symptomatic gallstones and other gallbladder conditions. The gallbladder is removed through small incisions using a laparoscopic approach in appropriately selected patients.
Hernia Surgery
Hernias may occur in the groin, around the navel or at the site of previous abdominal surgery. Depending on the type and complexity of the hernia, repair may be performed using open, laparoscopic or robotic techniques.
Appendicitis and Appendectomy
Acute appendicitis may require surgical removal of the appendix. Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive approach used in many patients.
Colorectal Surgery
Colorectal surgery involves conditions affecting the colon and rectum. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include surgery for colorectal cancer, diverticular disease, selected inflammatory bowel conditions and other structural problems of the colon and rectum.
Laparoscopic or robotic approaches may be considered for appropriately selected patients.
Gastrointestinal Tumours
Some gastrointestinal tumours require surgical removal. The type and extent of surgery depends on the location, size and nature of the tumour and the patient's overall clinical condition.
Where appropriate, minimally invasive approaches may be considered.
Anti-Reflux and Hiatal Hernia Surgery
Some patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease or hiatal hernia may require surgical treatment when symptoms persist despite appropriate medical management or when other clinical indications are present.
Surgical options may include laparoscopic procedures such as fundoplication or hiatal hernia repair in appropriately selected patients.
​
Laparoscopic and Robotic Gastrointestinal Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions, a camera and specialised instruments to perform abdominal procedures. Robotic surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that provides the surgeon with enhanced visualisation, precision and control.
Dr. Rambhia has completed a Fellowship in Robotic Surgery from the Association of Robotic Innovative Surgeons (ARIS), in conjunction with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, with training at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai.
Robotic or laparoscopic surgery is considered when it is appropriate for the specific procedure and patient.
​
A Patient-Centred Approach to GI Surgery
A surgical diagnosis can be stressful, particularly when major surgery is being considered. Dr. Rambhia takes time to understand the patient's symptoms, review investigations and explain the diagnosis and available treatment options.
Where surgery is recommended, patients are informed about the proposed procedure, expected recovery, potential risks and alternatives so that they can make an informed decision about their care.
A second opinion can also be useful if you have already been advised to undergo gastrointestinal surgery.
