Gastrointestinal

Columbia Surgical Specialists - General Surgery provides comprehensive gastrointestinal surgery services for a wide range of conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, and rectum. Our experienced surgeons treat both benign and malignant conditions, including esophageal and stomach cancers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gallbladder disease, bowel obstructions, appendicitis, and splenic disorders.

Our evaluation process begins with a thorough review of your medical history, symptoms, and any previous diagnostic studies. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools including endoscopy, imaging studies (CT scans, MRI), and laboratory tests to accurately diagnose your condition. Our surgeons work closely with gastroenterologists, oncologists, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive care.

We offer both minimally invasive (laparoscopic) and open surgical approaches, tailored to each patient's specific condition and needs. Our surgeons are skilled in advanced laparoscopic techniques, which often result in smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and reduced scarring. We provide surgical treatment for esophageal and stomach cancer, GERD management including fundoplication procedures, cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), treatment of bowel obstructions, appendectomy, and splenectomy when indicated.
