Some of the disorders that need surgical intervention include:

 Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) happens when you feel a burning sensation (Heartburn) in the oesophagus. Commonly referred to as Acid Reflux, it occurs when the acid from the stomach moves up to the oesophagus. This can be treated by Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF), an incision-free procedure that restricts the acid into the oesophagus.

Liver, Bile Duct Surgery: Development of stones or cysts in the liver may require surgery. Our gastro doctors in Manipal Hospital Whitefield are trained to routinely perform liver surgeries to ensure that these organs continue to function properly despite chronic problems. 

Liver Transplantation: Acute liver failure or a chronic liver problem is the result of rapid or gradual deterioration of the functioning of the liver. This is a critical condition since the liver fails to perform its normal duties of producing bile to help digest food or clearing toxic items from the blood. In such cases, doctors suggest liver transplantation through cadaver or living donor. At Manipal Hospital Whitefield, we have earned the accolade of being one of the most trusted and best hospitals to offer irreversible liver disease treatment.

Barrett’s Oesophagus can develop into a malignant cancer type when left untreated and is a more severe form of GERD.  This type of disorder is treated using a minimally invasive technique called Ablation that destroys any tumour or other abnormal tissues. 

Gall Bladder Removal: For gall bladder related disorders, we use advanced laparoscopic technology to remove the gall bladder with a small incision. This surgery is mainly done when a patient complains of pain, stones in the gall bladder and inflammation. Using minimally invasive technologies such as da Vinci robot technology helps the patient to recover faster with minimal scarring.
