Gastrointestinal Surgery
Gastrointestinal system includes digestive tract (mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, and anus) and digestive glands (salivary glands, stomach and intestines glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder). Disease in any of these organs will lead to dysfunction of the digestive system. Surgery is recommended depending on the disease severity for symptoms treatment.
Advanced Laparoscopy
A new technique in gastrointestinal surgery is laparoscopy which is also called key hole surgery or minimally invasive surgery. Unlike an open surgery, laparoscopic surgery requires only small incisions. It is done through the incisions 0.5-1.5 cm. Thus, its benefits are bleeding reduction, reduce the duration of hospital stay, faster recovery, less pain and preserve the beauty of the skin.
Advanced Thoracoscopy
Minimally invasive surgery of the chest is called thoracoscopy. Sympathectomy as the most effective way to treat hyperhidrosis, thymectomy for myasthenia gravis treatment, surgery of esophagus cancer and achalasia can be done using advanced thoracoscopy. The patient benefits are blood loss reduction, reduce the duration of hospital stay, reduce recovery time, less pain, and infection reduction.
General Surgery

Intraluminal Surgery and Flexible Endoscopy
Interventional endoscopy includes a range of endoscopic procedures that are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases which normally cannot be done by conventional endoscopes. Intraluminal surgeries are a branch of endoscopic surgeries that are performed inside the intestine (without opening the abdomen).
