Advanced Digestive & Colorectal Surgery
Digestive surgery addresses diseases affecting the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, colon, pancreas, and abdominal organs.
Treatment decisions are guided by clinical evaluation, imaging studies, endoscopy findings, and evidence-based surgical guidelines.
Whenever appropriate, minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) techniques are preferred.
Gallbladder Surgery (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy)
Performed for:
- Gallstones
- Recurrent biliary colic
- Acute or chronic cholecystitis
- Gallbladder polyps
Minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) surgery allows faster recovery and shorter hospital stay.

Hiatal Hernia & Reflux Surgery
A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm and may cause GERD.
Surgical treatment is considered when:

- Large paraesophageal hernia
Procedures may include:
- Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair
- Nissen or partial fundoplication
- Combined repair in selected bariatric patients
The goal is anatomical restoration and long-term reflux control.
