What is Gastrointestinal Disease?
Gastrointestinal disease is any condition or disease that affects the digestive system or gastrointestinal tract (from the mouth to the anus). Depending on the patient's complications, the problem can range from mild to severe. Some common issues faced in gastrointestinal disease are heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome (constipation or diarrhea), cancer, lactose intolerance, and more.
Gastrointestinal Surgery
Gastrointestinal surgery, or GI surgery, is also known as digestive system surgery. The surgery procedure treats the upper part of the human body, which includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, appendix, gallbladder, pancreas, liver, and bile ducts. It is also used to remove benign or malignant tumours and treat the organs of the digestive system. GI surgery is classified into two types based on the organ being treated:
Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery: Gall bladder, liver, pancreas, stomach, and oesophagus.
Lower Gastrointestinal Surgery: Small intestines, colon, rectum, and anus.
Common disorders affecting the gastrointestinal (digestive) system
1. Diet: A high intake of dairy products, low-fibre foods, fatty, oily, and fried foods, junk foods, and a lack of water are all undesirable foods for the gastrointestinal tract.
2. Inactive lifestyle: A body that does not get enough exercise is detrimental to your overall health.
3. Bowel movement: Clear and timely bowel movements are crucial for a good gastrointestinal system.
4. Medicines: Certain medicines, such as strong painkillers, antidepressants, iron pills, or medicines containing a high amount of calcium or aluminum, can promote digestive disorders.
5. Pregnancy: Many pregnant women experience digestive issues such as heartburn, disturbed bowel movements, and many such problems.
6. Natural causes: There are certain causes that cannot be controlled and can lead to digestive disorders, such as ageing, genetic factors, and many other factors.
Gastrointestinal Surgery Procedure
Laparoscopic
This procedure makes 3-5 small incisions and inserts the laparoscope device through one incision while performing the surgery with the others. The device helps monitor the infected area and displays it on a computer.
Endoscopic
The treatment uses an endoscope, an instrument with a laser and camera attachment, to diagnose and treat certain GI conditions. It is inserted through the mouth, nose, or other natural openings in the body.
Robotic
The surgeon performs laparoscopic surgery using a computerised system to manipulate mechanical arms that are holding a camera and surgical tools. Compared to human hands and wrists, robotic arms have a wider range of motion, offering greater flexibility for difficult, delicate treatments.
Open Surgery:
It involves making one large cut and treating the infected area manually.
List of Gastrointestinal Surgeries:
- Stomach: The procedure treats any inflammation or infection in the stomach.
- Colon: Colorectal surgery to treat the disorder of the colon present in the large intestine.
- Small intestine: Treating the most important part of the digestive tract, i.e., the small intestine.
- Pancreas: Also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, the treatment of the pancreas.
- Mesenteric: Treatment of the continuous set of tissues located in the abdomen.
- Tumor: Treats benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) tumours.
- Cysts: Removal of cyst-fluid sacs developed anywhere in the digestive tract.
Cost of Gastrointestinal Surgery
Gastroenterology surgery can be costly as it involves the treatment of very delicate organs with a high risk of infection. The average cost of gastrointestinal surgery in India is around 1,50,000 INR, and it can go up to 5 lacs depending upon the severity of the disease. The cost can differ due to several factors, such as high-tech instruments, the doctor’s fee, infected organs, patients’ complications, and many others.
