Department Information

The Gastro-Intestinal (GI) Surgery and Gastroenterology departments have services of national and international reputation. They provide general and specialist services to patients with acute and chronic conditions, both benign and malignant. The specialties are a hybrid of medicine and surgery as they encompass diagnostic and interventional therapeutic care. In addition to serving patients with gastrointestinal conditions, gastroenterology and GI underpin other services (general medicine, emergency medicine, ENT benign and cancer pathways, GP-based care) through in-patient/out-patient review and providing endoscopic procedures. The department offers a wide range of services to patients with gastroenterological and liver disorders. The Upper GI Unit is the regional centre for oesophago-gastric cancer and specialises in oesophageal and gastric resections. As a high volume centre we perform over 100 major resections per year in addition to gastric GIST surgery. Operative approaches (right chest, left chest, transhiatal, three-stage) are tailored to patients needs using a range of laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, robotic and open techniques. We offer a pioneering one stop staging package for oesophago-gastric cancer so that patients can have a number of investigations in one visit and leave the hospital with a clear treatment plan.
