Experienced Surgical Gastroenterologists in Chennai for Digestive Disorders
The gastrointestinal (GI) system is essential for digestion, nutrient absorption and overall health. When disorders affect organs such as the oesophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas or intestines, surgical intervention may be necessary to restore function and prevent complications.
Surgical Gastroenterology focuses on the surgical treatment of digestive system disorders. At V-Cure Hospital, our department provides structured evaluation and responsible surgical care for a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions.
Our surgeons follow recognised clinical guidelines and modern surgical techniques to ensure safe and effective treatment. Each patient undergoes careful assessment, and treatment decisions are based on medical findings, diagnostic reports and overall health condition.
Consultations are conducted in a professional and supportive setting where patients receive clear explanations regarding diagnosis, procedure details and recovery expectations.
Surgical Gastroenterology Services We Offer
Gallbladder and Gallstone Surgery
Gallstones can obstruct bile flow and cause pain, inflammation or infection. When symptoms are persistent or complications develop, surgical removal of the gallbladder may be advised.
Common symptoms include:
- Severe upper abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Jaundice
- Indigestion or discomfort after meals
We perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy whenever suitable. This minimally invasive technique typically results in smaller incisions, reduced postoperative discomfort and shorter hospital stay compared to traditional open surgery.
Hernia Repair
A hernia occurs when internal tissue pushes through a weakened portion of the abdominal wall. Without surgical repair, hernias may increase in size or lead to complications.
Patients may experience:
- A visible swelling or bulge in the abdomen or groin
- Pain during lifting, coughing or bending
- A feeling of heaviness or pressure
We offer both open and laparoscopic hernia repair procedures. The choice of technique depends on the type of hernia, its size and the patient’s overall medical condition.
Appendicitis Treatment
Appendicitis is an acute medical condition requiring prompt surgical care. Delayed treatment may result in rupture and serious infection.
Symptoms may include:
- Sharp pain on the right side of the abdomen
- Fever
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
Appendectomy is performed as an emergency or urgent procedure to prevent complications and ensure safe recovery.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Surgical Care
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, can sometimes require surgical management when medication alone does not control symptoms or when complications arise.
Common symptoms include:
- Persistent diarrhoea
- Abdominal pain
- Unintended weight loss
- Fatigue
Our surgical team carefully evaluates disease severity and determines the appropriate surgical approach. The goal is to relieve symptoms, address complications and preserve as much healthy bowel function as possible.
Management of Other Gastrointestinal Conditions
Our department also provides surgical evaluation and treatment for disorders affecting:
- Oesophagus
- Stomach
- Liver
- Pancreas
- Small and large intestines
Conditions such as intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding and selected liver or pancreatic disorders are assessed individually to determine the safest and most appropriate surgical plan.
