Foregut Surgery
Surgeons who perform foregut surgery focus on upper gastrointestinal issues including those pertaining to the esophagus, stomach and upper small intestine. Problems addressed via foregut surgery may include gastroesophageal reflux disease, achalasia (swallowing disorders), hiatal hernias, Barrett’s esophagus, gastroparesis and upper GI cancers. Laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical methods are often available for treating such conditions. Thoracic and general surgeons as well as gastroenterologists typically perform foregut surgeries.
