Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology is a medical field that centers on the diagnosis and treatment of digestive system disorders. These ailments involve the organs from the mouth to the anus, located in the alimentary canal. Gastroenterologists are able to treat a range of gastrointestinal issues.

Following are some of the Treatments at Global Med Trips for these issues:

Gastrointestinal Surgery

This surgery is a treatment for diseases of the digestive system, such as the stomach, small and large intestines, esophagus, rectum, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver. Common gastrointestinal surgeries include cancers of the digestive system, appendicitis, diverticular disease, gallstone or gallbladder removal, GERD, Inflammatory bowel disease, hernia, weight loss surgery, and rectal prolapse.

Hepatology

Hepatology is an area of medicine that focuses on the study of the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, and pancreas, as well as the treatment of diseases and complications associated with viral hepatitis, such as Hepatitis B and C, and alcohol-related illnesses. Research suggests that over 80% of liver cancer is linked to Hepatitis B and C.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

This surgery is an effective way to treat morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, and other diseases. It works by partitioning the stomach into two pouches - a smaller upper pouch and a larger lower pouch. The small intestine is then rearranged and connected to the two pouches. This procedure can help improve the health of individuals affected by these conditions.
