Mansfield Gastrointestinal Surgery
Treatment for digestive disorders
Gastrointestinal surgery typically involves the digestive tract and is
performed on a regular basis by the surgeons on staff at Surgical Associates
of Mansfield. Using minimally-invasive surgical techniques, our team treats
patients suffering from a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions. Our
surgeons treat diseases such as acid reflux, diverticulitis, gallstones,
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), hernias, and hemorrhoids. We also perform
colon cancer screening tests, helping at-risk patients get out ahead of
any potential problems.
Diagnostic Procedures
Depending on the circumstance and patient, diagnosing disorders of the
gastrointestinal tract can be challenging. This is why our gastrointestinal
services are so important and critical to the health and wellness of our
patients. Our highly-trained and experienced surgeons not only understand
the ins and outs of these types of conditions but have the tools to help
our patients achieve their optimal health.
By implementing the da Vinci® Robotic surgical technique, we are able
to correct gastrointestinal conditions in an efficient and pain-free manner.
This relatively new technique is minimally-invasive and allows us to get
right to the root of the problem, no fuss about it. This technique is
helping with early detection of cancer and other serious conditions, which
has in turn given us the chance to treat patients much sooner.
About Gastrointestinal Surgery
The gastrointestinal tract includes the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
When one or more of these areas are infected, inflamed, or diseased in
any manner, it could cause other serious health problems. While many gastrointestinal
conditions are minor and can be treated right on the spot, others are
more complicated. Some of the gastrointestinal conditions that we perform include:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease)
- Benign tumors
- Colon and Rectal cancer
- Structural problems
- Hiatal hernias
- Dysphagia
- Hemorrhoid disease
- Diverticulitis
- Motility disorders
-
Gastric tumors, including:
- Adenocarcinoma
- Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)
- Neuroendocrine tumor
These are just a handful of the most common gastrointestinal conditions
we are trained to perform. All of these procedures are done robotically,
ensuring the patient has the most optimal experience possible. We also
offer colostomy reversal, robotic pelvic floor reconstruction, and surgery
for small bowel tumors.
What Can I Expect?
As mentioned, we utilize the da Vinci Surgery - a robotic-assisted form
of surgery that is minimally-invasive. Thanks to this new type of surgery,
we are changing the experience of both the patient and surgical team.
Powered by robotic technology, the da Vinci system allows the surgeon’s
hand movements to be translated into much smaller, more precise movements.
When using this technique for gastrointestinal conditions, we are able
to more acutely pinpoint the problem area and treat it on the spot. The
surgeon is 100% in control at all times with this system, eliminating
the risk of error and complications.
