Fighting GI Cancer with Expert Surgical Care

What is GI Cancer Surgery?

GI cancer surgeries refer to surgical procedures performed to treat cancers in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the organs involved in digestion. These surgeries target cancers in the stomach, esophagus, liver, pancreas, small intestine, colon, rectum, and anus. Depending on the type and stage of the cancer, different surgeries may be recommended, and they often aim to remove cancerous tissues, alleviate symptoms, or prevent the spread of cancer.

Common types of GI cancer surgeries include:

Esophagectomy: Removal of part or all of the esophagus for esophageal cancer.
Gastrectomy: Removal of part or all of the stomach, often performed for stomach cancer.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy): A complex surgery to remove parts of the pancreas, small intestine, and other nearby tissues, used to treat pancreatic cancer.
Colectomy: Removal of part or all of the colon for colon cancer.
Proctectomy: Removal of the rectum for rectal cancer.
Liver Resection (Hepatectomy): Removing part of the liver affected by cancer, common in cases of liver cancer.
Bowel Resection: Removing sections of the small intestine or colon affected by cancer.

These surgeries are often part of a broader treatment plan, which may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapies, to improve outcomes for GI cancer patients.

Open Surgery & Laparoscopic Surgery are two primary surgical approaches to treat gastrointestinal cancer.

Open Surgery:

GI cancer surgery with the traditional open surgery approach involves making a large incision in the abdomen to access the organs affected by cancer. This approach allows the surgeon to have a direct view and full access to the area, which is sometimes necessary for complex cases or when a minimally invasive method like laparoscopy isn’t feasible.

When is Traditional Open Surgery Used in GI Cancer?

Large tumors or those in difficult-to-reach areas.
Advanced-stage cancers that require extensive tissue removal.
Complicated cases where multiple organs are involved or reconstruction is needed.
Situations where minimally invasive techniques are not suitable, due to the patient’s anatomy or the complexity of the cancer.

Laparoscopic Surgery:

GI Cancer Surgery with Laparoscope (Minimally Invasive) This technique uses several small incisions through which specialized instruments and a camera (laparoscope) are inserted to perform the surgery.

When is Traditional Open Surgery Used in GI Cancer?

Laparoscopic surgery is suitable for certain patients and types of GI cancer, particularly in the early stages or for localized tumors. Laparoscopic GI cancer surgeries are Minimally invasive, Shorter recovery time, Lower risk of infection

Both approaches aim to remove cancerous tissue, but the choice of surgery depends on the stage of cancer, its location, and the patient’s overall health.
