Keeping pace with the Medical Gastroenterology, Surgical Gastroenterology has also taken giant leaps of advancements in recent years. Nearly all the Gastrointestinal Surgeries are part of the spectrum of General Surgery, but only a few Gastrointestinal Surgeries require special attention and expertise which can only be provided by a specialist Gastroenterologist.
