Gastroenterological Surgery

San José

The specialty in gastroenterology is defined as that branch of Medicine which is concerned with the diseases that affect the digestive tract and the associated glandular organs (esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, anus, liver, bile ducts and pancreas), as well as the effects of digestive illnesses on the rest of the human organism and conversely the effects of illnesses of the rest of the organism on the digestive system.

The evident relationship that exists in anato-physiological and pato-physiological level between the digestive system and other parts of the organism leads the gastroenterologist to acquire knowledge in Internal Medicine and other medical specialties. Therefore, he must always study and work closely with professionals in other disciplines strictly related to the digestive system.
