Gastrointestinal Surgery in Ludhiana

Your digestive system plays an essential role in your overall health. When conditions affecting the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, or oesophagus cannot be managed with medicines alone, gastrointestinal (GI) surgery may be recommended. Modern surgical techniques can help relieve symptoms, treat the underlying condition, and improve your quality of life.

At Prolife Hospital, Ludhiana, Dr. Harpreet Singh Jolly provides advanced gastrointestinal surgery using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques whenever clinically appropriate. The goal is to deliver safe, effective treatment with reduced pain, smaller incisions, and faster recovery.

What is Gastrointestinal Surgery?

Gastrointestinal surgery is the surgical treatment of diseases affecting the digestive system. Depending on your condition, surgery may be performed to remove diseased tissue, repair damaged organs, treat blockages, or improve digestive function.

Many procedures can now be performed laparoscopically through small incisions, helping patients recover more comfortably than with traditional open surgery in suitable cases.

When Should You Consult a GI Surgeon?

You should consider consulting a gastrointestinal surgeon if you experience:

Persistent abdominal pain
Gallstones causing repeated pain
Hernia or abdominal swelling
Frequent acid reflux (GERD)
Appendicitis
Blood in the stool
Difficulty swallowing
Chronic digestive problems that do not improve with medical treatment

Early evaluation can help identify the cause and determine the most appropriate treatment.
