Overview

Gastrointestinal surgery is the surgical specialty concerned with operations on the organs of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, rectum, and associated structures. It is used to treat a broad range of conditions such as gastrointestinal cancers, inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, hernias, obstructions, bleeding, and complications of obesity, as well as to remove, repair, or reconstruct diseased or damaged portions of the digestive tract. Procedures range from minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques to major open operations, and they may involve removing a tumor, resecting a segment of bowel, or restoring digestive continuity. Because the gastrointestinal tract is central to nutrition, surgery in this region often has important implications for how patients absorb nutrients and recover afterward, making perioperative and nutritional care an integral part of treatment. Research published in this journal relevant to gastrointestinal surgery includes work on the nutrition route following esophagectomy and on neurological complications arising after sleeve gastrectomy, illustrating the close link between digestive surgery and nutritional management. As an open-access journal devoted to Digestive Disorders And Diagnosis, this publication addresses diseases of the gastrointestinal system and their treatment. This page collects peer-reviewed scholarship relevant to gastrointestinal surgery and digestive disease.
