Foregut surgery embraces both minimally invasive and conventional techniques. Minimally invasive processes and methods normally encompass smaller incisions, using cutting-edge technology and equipment to accomplish processes that were once only conceivable via much more invasive means. This normally allows for less bleeding, abridged scarring, augmented retrieval time and a sooner return to normality and regular everyday activities. Ask your doctor if you have any queries about minimally invasive foregut processes.

Thoracic surgery incorporates surgery on the chest wall and organs enclosed within the thoracic, or chest cavity. Operation of the foregut addresses issues in the esophagus, stomach and proximal small intestine. Combined, these organs work to make food and liquids for absorption by the rest of the bowel and to avert reflux of gastric acid, bile and pancreatic secretions retrograde into the esophagus. In practice, amending a disorder of one of these organs necessitates rearranging or modifying one or more of the other foregut organs. Subsequently, we believe the doctors working with foregut complications should not try to split problems between those in the chest and those in the belly. Rather, we approach the chest and foregut as a single component, and are skillful and comfy working on both sides of the diaphragm to rectify the issues linked with a catholic variety of ailments.
