It is also performed on  gall bladder, small intestine, pancreas and  large intestine. The procedure is also used to remove tumor, cancerous or non cancerous parts of the intestine.

GI Surgical procedures
Minimum invasive GI surgery involves laparoscopic procedure as it painless and uses minimum incision. Laparoscopic GI surgery is preferred for its low risk, minimum cut and faster recovery. With the help of camera and magnified view of the body organs, it lowers the chances of any inaccuracy.

Risk factors involved in GI Surgery

  • Infection: Surgeries often come with risk of infection. Though surgeons are very careful while the surgery and even after the surgery, still there are chances of infection.

  • Bleeding and Blood Clots: sometimes, the patients have more clotting time which becomes risky in case of an operation as the blood takes a lot of time to clot.
