Laparoscopic surgery has been accepted as the standard of care for these cancers, owing to better patient outcomes in terms of less postoperative pain and shorter hospital stay, however with no compromise on cancer clearance.
  • The immense expertise of the anesthesia and critical care unit enables the gastrointestinal surgeons to smoothly perform major liver, pancreatic and biliary tract surgeries.
  • Bariatric or Weight loss surgery is another specialized aspect of gastrointestinal surgery.
