Upper GI

Upper GI

Upper gastrointestinal (Upper GI) surgery is a specialized branch of surgery focused on the diagnosis and operative management of disorders affecting the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, and in some cases the upper small intestine. It includes the treatment of both benign and malignant conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, hiatal hernia, peptic ulcer complications, gastric tumors, and esophageal malignancies. The primary aim of Upper GI surgery is to relieve symptoms, correct structural or functional abnormalities, remove pathological lesions, and preserve gastrointestinal function through appropriate surgical intervention using open, laparoscopic, or other minimally invasive techniques
