GI Surgery

Our GI surgeons are skilled and have years of experience in treating routine and rare concerns of the oesophagus, stomach and small intestine. Our experts use less invasive techniques, such as tiny incisions and high-tech surgical robots to promote healing and fast recovery.

Risks:

Like all surgeries, GI surgery has some risks. Your doctor will explain them before the procedure.

• Infection: There's a small risk of infection. It can usually be treated with antibiotics.
• Bleeding: Some bleeding may happen, but it is usually managed during surgery.
• Bowel changes: You may notice changes in your digestion for a short time. This is normal and often improves.
• Scarring: Internal scar tissue may form, but this is less likely with keyhole (minimally invasive) surgery.

Your doctor will talk to you about all the risks and benefits to help you make the best choice.

Wondering what to expect after GI surgery? Don’t worry — most people bounce back quicker than they think. The recovery process really depends on the type of surgery you’ve had, but here’s a general idea:

• You might be home in just a few days. Especially if your surgery was minimally invasive — those tiny cuts mean a quicker hospital stay.
• Pain? Yes, but manageable. You'll get medication to keep discomfort under control. Most people are surprised at how mild it actually is.
• Your diet will change for a bit. You'll likely start with liquids, move to soft foods, and gradually return to your usual meals. Your doctor will walk you through it.
• Take it slow. Avoid anything too physical, like lifting or intense workouts. But don’t stay in bed all day — light walking is great for healing.
• Follow-up visits are part of the plan. These help make sure everything’s healing just right and give you a chance to ask questions or share concerns.
• If you're getting your surgery done at our CMRI Kolkata, you’ll have a team that truly cares — guiding you from start to finish, checking in, and cheering you on.
