   • Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) accurately assesses GI conditions.
3. Bariatric Surgery for Obesity and Metabolic Health
   • Procedures like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy manage obesity and associated metabolic conditions.
   • Patients lose weight and improve overall health.
4. Gastrectomy
   • Removal of the stomach (total or partial) to address conditions like gastric cancer or severe obesity.
5. Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis (IPAA)
   • Offers a way to eliminate waste without a permanent stoma.

Difference Between Surgical Gastroenterology and Gastroenterology:

Gastroenterology is a subspecialty of internal medicine that studies the function and diseases of the entire gastrointestinal tract.

Surgical Gastroenterology focuses on surgical interventions for complex GI disorders, including cancer.

While gastroenterologists diagnose and manage conditions non-surgically, surgical gastroenterologists perform advanced procedures to treat digestive ailments effectively.
