Laparoscopic Upper GI & Esophageal Surgery
Laparoscopic upper gastrointestinal (GI) and esophageal surgery involves minimally invasive techniques used to treat conditions affecting the stomach, esophagus, and other upper digestive organs. These surgeries are typically performed to address issues such as esophageal cancer, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), achalasia, and other esophageal or stomach disorders. Using small incisions and a camera (laparoscope), surgeons can access the affected areas, offering greater precision, less pain, and faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
