Gastroenterologist / Medical Gastro
A gastro doctor, or gastroenterologist, is a medical specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the digestive system. This includes the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which consists of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and biliary organs like the liver, bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder.
Gastrointestinal Surgeon / Surgical Gastro
A gastro surgeon, or gastrointestinal (GI) surgeon, is a medical professional who specializes in performing surgical procedures on the digestive system. This includes organs such as the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. GI surgeons handle a range of conditions and perform surgeries to treat issues like:
- Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)
- Appendix removal (appendectomy)
- Hernia repairs
- Bowel resection (removal of a portion of the intestines)
- Gastroesophageal reflux surgery
- Liver and pancreatic surgery
GI surgeons undergo extensive training, starting with medical school, followed by general surgery residency, and then specialized training in gastrointestinal surgery. They work closely with gastroenterologists to provide comprehensive care for patients with complex digestive disorders.
If you have any specific concerns or conditions related to your digestive system that might require surgical intervention, a GI surgeon would be the specialist to consult.
