Gastroenterology & Digestive Diseases

The Centre for Liver and Digestive Diseases at Dr. D.Y. Patil Hospital is a state-of-the-art facility equipped with cutting-edge technology for the management of Liver, Pancreato-Biliary & Gastro-Intestinal diseases. It is an advanced facility to provide complex surgeries for the treatment of diseases of the digestive tract, biliary tract, pancreas, and liver. It excels in providing minimal invasive/laparoscopic solutions for complex gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary diseases including cancers.

Upper Gastrointestinal

Laparoscopic surgery for hiatus hernia, reflux disease, and achalasia cardia is attracting patients from India and abroad. We offer laparoscopic gastrectomy and thoracoscopic esophagectomy for cancers.

Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic

The liver clinic provides patients with a one-stop solution for chronic liver diseases and liver cancers. Diseases and cancers of the liver, gall bladder, biliary tract, and pancreas are treated comprehensively as per international standards and guidelines. The department excels in providing comprehensive care for acute and chronic pancreatitis patients.

Colorectal Surgery

Colorectal malignancy is on the rise in the Indian population, and prompt treatment is necessary to provide patients the best chance to combat this condition. Comprising a dedicated team of surgeons, gastroenterologists, oncologists (medical and radiation), and stoma nurses, our department ensures patients are provided with the best possible treatment. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is usually the treatment of choice ensuring complete oncological clearance coupled with faster recovery and reduced post-operative complications.

Hernia Clinic

Our surgeons can correct hernia defects laparoscopically using the extraperitoneal approach or open surgery using tension-free repair.

Surgery for Portal Hypertension

Our department excels in performing high-end surgeries such as proximal splenorenal shunt, mesocaval shunt, and devascularization procedures for portal hypertension.

Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery

We have one of the most advanced laparoscopic surgery programs in the country. Most diseases of the gastrointestinal system are operated laparoscopically. This ensures faster recovery, less blood loss, minimal scarring, and decreased complications.
