Gastro Intestinal Surgery
Gastroenterology-a specialized branch of medicine, deals
with the study of gastrointestinal tract and its disorders.
It is basically made of three Greek words gastros, enterom
and logos, meaning Stomach, intestine and reason respectively.
This superspecialized branch of medicine is involved in the
evaluation and treatment of diseases involving the organs
of the gastrointestinal tract between the mouth and the anus,
viz. esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine,
rectum, liver, gallbladder, and the pancreas.
The digestive tract or the alimentary canal, sometimes, also
referred to as the gastrointestinal tract spans from the mouth
to the anus. For the purpose of study, it has been divided
into:
- The upper digestive tract
- The lower digestive tract
The mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach and the duodenum are
all included in the upper tract, while the intestines and the
anus are included in the lower tract.
The different types of digestive juices and digestive actions
are considered to be an important part in the study of the
digestive tract.
A large number of diseases studied under the umbrella of
gastroenterology require surgical treatment.
