Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at Panacea Hospital

The digestive system is one of the most important systems in human body. It impacts various other systems in the body and plays one of the major roles. It is also one of the most sensitive systems in the body. Our daily life and routine has a major impact on this system. Digestive problems are quite common, stressed by the sedentary and frenzied lifestyle. At times these problems are treated by medicines and lifestyle changes but there are situations where due to prolonged problems, surgery is needed. Panacea Hospital Bangalore has a prowess in performing Gastrointestinal Surgeries.

The primary role of the digestive system is to help the body break down and absorb food. Also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, it includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine — also called the colon — rectum, and anus. Tiny glands in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine produce juices to help digest food. The digestive system also contains a layer of smooth muscle that moves food along the tract.
