SCOPE OF WORK
SURGICAL GASTROENTEROLOGY ALSO
KNOWN AS GASTROINTESTINAL SURGERY
Surgical Gastroenterology pertains to diseases afflicting the Digestive system. Organ systems involved include the Liver, Bile ducts, Gallbladder, Pancreas and the Luminal digestive system (Esophagus, Stomach, duodenum, small and large intestine, colon and rectum).
GASTROINTESTINAL ONCOSURGERY
Oncology including tumors or cancers affecting any of the above systems is an inherent component of the Surgical Gastroenterology and constitutes approximately 70% of surgeries performed in this field. Combined/Multimodality therapy is the key in cancer treatment wherein the surgeon is part of a team comprising medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, and interventional radiologist at various stages of diagnosis, decision making, treatment and follow up.
HEPATOBILIARY PANCREATIC (HPB) ALSO TERMED HEPATO PANCREATO BILIARY (HPB) SURGERY
Hepatobiliary pancreatic (HPB) surgery is a subspecialty of Surgical Gastroenterology that deals with the liver, bile ducts and pancreas.
LIVER TRANSPLANTATION
Liver transplantation is another subspecialty that deals with liver failure either due to Cirrhosis and Chronic liver disease or Acute liver failure.

PROCEDURES
GASTROINTESTINAL ONCOSURGERY
Surgical Gastroenterology pertains to diseases afflicting the Digestive system. cancers of the gastrointestinal tract are responsible for more than 50 deaths per 1,00,000 individuals. The risk of death from these cancers has decreased with the development of healthcare. Precision oncology is a branch that customizes cancer treatment to achieve maximum efficacy with minimal side effects. It uses advanced techniques such as immunohistochemistry, molecular biology to obtain information on tumor composition and determine the best course of treatment for a patient.
HEPATOBILIARY PANCREATIC (HPB)
Hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery is a subspecialty that deals with diseases of the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts and the pancreas. These may include inborn errors (choledochal cysts), stones, infections, inflammation (acute and chronic pancreatitis). The hallmark of integrated liver care is the collaboration between a multidisciplinary team of experts including diagnostic and interventional radiologists, medical hepatologist, medical oncologist, hepatobiliary pancreatic surgeon to help decide the most suitable treatment options for the patient.
LIVER TRANSPLANTATION
Liver transplantation is another subspecialty that deals with liver failure either due to Cirrhosis and Chronic liver disease or Acute liver failure. With years of experience and over a thousand liver transplants under their belt, ILC has streamlined, individualized processes that takes the patient through all aspects from initial evaluation and listing to preparation for surgery. Our efficient yet amiable, empathetic transplant coordinators will be with you all the way in getting the necessary medical and administrative clearances in the shortest possible time.
PATIENT-CENTRIC APPROACHES
ERAS
ERAS® is a multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing major surgery. ERAS® represents a paradigm shift in perioperative care in two ways. First, it re-examines traditional practices, replacing them with evidence-based best practices when necessary.
MIS
Minimally invasive surgery refers to any surgical procedure that is performed through tiny incisions instead of a large opening. Because your surgeon will make smaller incisions, you will likely have a quicker recovery time and less pain than traditional open surgery but with the same benefits as traditional surgery.
DAYCARE SURGERY
Day care surgery means that patients admitted for a surgical procedure get discharged the same day without overnight stay. Preoperative preparation including medical and financial clearances are completed on outpatient basis. In the outpatient clinic, the patient is counseled in details.
