A GI surgeon can evaluate and treat a wide range of conditions involving the digestive system. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include medication, observation, endoscopic procedures, or surgery. Dr. Pippal has experience in gastrointestinal, laparoscopic, open, elective, and emergency surgical procedures.

You may benefit from a GI surgical consultation if you have a digestive condition that may require surgical evaluation or if your physician has recommended surgery. Persistent abdominal pain, gallbladder problems, hernias, gastrointestinal disorders, or other conditions requiring surgical assessment may warrant consultation. A thorough evaluation is important before deciding whether surgery is appropriate.

No. Surgery is not always necessary. The appropriate treatment depends on the patient's symptoms, diagnosis, medical history, investigations, and overall health.
