Gastroenterology and Hepatology

Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the digestive system and related problems, including the alimentary canal. It necessitates a thorough grasp of the physiology of the gastrointestinal organs, including food motility in the stomach and intestine, nutritional digestion and absorption, waste elimination from the system, and the liver's role as a digestive organ. In recent years, there has been notable progress in the detection and treatment of gastrointestinal illnesses. For GERD, pancreatico-biliary and post-surgical issues, Barrett's oesophagus, neuro-endocrine tumours, and gastrointestinal stromal tumours, new diagnostic procedures and novel therapeutic approaches are being investigated.
