All About Gastroenterology
The digestive system helps to break down the food into nutrients that are used by the body for growth and cell repair. These nutrients give energy to the body to perform all the activities. Now, any disorder or disease in the digestive system can be a big problem as the digestive system is an important part of the body.
The Gastroenterology department at VishwaRaj Hospital caters and addresses diseases of the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts and liver. Our gastroenterologist examines, diagnose and treats all the GI disorders. They perform endoscopic procedures to look into the GI tract and diagnose a disorder. In almost all cases, a gastroenterologist will treat all these disorders with just the medicines and non-surgical treatments. Any particular disorder that may need surgery will be then transferred to a GI surgeon.
