Comprehensive information about gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic conditions we diagnose and treat, organized by organ.
A rare disorder where the esophagus cannot move food into the stomach due to nerve damage.
Chemical burn to the esophagus from ingestion of corrosive substances.
Cancer of the esophagus, often presenting late with difficulty swallowing.
A tear or hole in the esophageal wall — a surgical emergency.
Chronic acid reflux causing heartburn, regurgitation, and potential esophageal damage.
A mass of indigestible material trapped in the stomach requiring removal.
Cancer arising from the stomach lining, requiring early detection for best surgical outcomes.
Open sores on the stomach lining caused by H. pylori infection or NSAID use.
Abnormal rotation of the stomach causing obstruction — a surgical emergency.
Inflammation of the stomach lining causing pain, nausea, and digestive discomfort.
Rare mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract, most commonly found in the stomach.
Late-stage liver scarring from chronic damage, leading to liver failure and portal hypertension.
Accumulation of excess fat in liver cells, ranging from simple steatosis to inflammatory NASH.
Inflammation of the liver caused by viral infections (A, B, C, E), alcohol, or autoimmune conditions.
Parasitic cyst caused by Echinococcus tapeworm, forming large fluid-filled cysts in the liver.
A pus-filled mass inside the liver caused by bacterial, parasitic, or amoebic infection.
Primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) or metastatic cancer affecting liver function.
Fluid-filled cavities in the liver, usually benign but occasionally requiring treatment if symptomatic.
Cancer that has spread to the liver from a primary tumor elsewhere, most often the colon or rectum — treatable with resection or ablation in select cases.
Life-threatening infection of the bile duct requiring emergency drainage.
Stones lodged in the common bile duct causing obstruction, jaundice, and potential cholangitis.
Narrowing of the bile duct causing obstruction to bile flow, jaundice, and infection risk.
Inadvertent damage to the bile duct, most commonly during cholecystectomy.
Cancer of the bile ducts, classified as intrahepatic, perihilar, or distal.
Congenital dilation of the bile duct with risk of malignant transformation.
Stones in the common bile duct causing jaundice and cholangitis.
Stones within the intrahepatic bile ducts causing recurrent cholangitis.
Chronic progressive disease causing inflammation and fibrosis of bile ducts.
Chronic recurrent bacterial infection of the biliary system.
Sudden inflammation of the gallbladder, usually caused by a gallstone blocking the cystic duct.
Chronic inflammation of the gallbladder due to repeated gallstone irritation.
A rare but aggressive cancer that starts in the gallbladder wall, often discovered at advanced stages.
Rupture of the gallbladder wall — a serious complication of acute cholecystitis.
Growths that protrude from the inner wall of the gallbladder, usually discovered incidentally during imaging.
Hard deposits that form in the gallbladder, causing pain and digestive issues when they block bile flow.
A rare destructive inflammatory condition of the gallbladder mimicking cancer.
Sudden inflammation of the pancreas causing severe abdominal pain, often triggered by gallstones or alcohol.
Long-standing inflammation leading to irreversible damage, pain, and loss of pancreatic function.
Rare tumors arising from hormone-producing cells of the pancreas with variable behavior.
One of the most challenging cancers, arising from the cells of the pancreas with limited early symptoms.
Fluid-filled sacs in or on the pancreas that may be benign or have malignant potential.
Cancer of the large intestine, one of the most common cancers globally with excellent outcomes if caught early.
Growths on the inner lining of the colon that may be precancerous and require removal.
Chronic difficulty in passing stools or infrequent bowel movements requiring medical evaluation.
Chronic inflammatory condition that can affect any part of the GI tract, causing pain and malnutrition.
Inflammation or infection of small pouches (diverticula) that form in the walls of the colon.
A functional GI disorder causing abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits.
Cancer of the rectum requiring specialized surgical approaches for cure and quality of life preservation.
Chronic inflammatory bowel disease causing ulcers and inflammation in the colon and rectum.
Acute inflammation of the appendix requiring emergency surgical removal (appendectomy).
Rare tumors of the appendix, often found incidentally during appendectomy.
A rare malignancy of the appendix, often discovered incidentally during appendectomy.
A tumor producing mucin that can spread to the peritoneal cavity (pseudomyxoma peritonei).
