  • Careful explanation of expected course, possible risks and recovery milestones

Questions About GI Surgery

These responses provide a general framework. Specific advice is always tailored to your diagnosis and health profile.

01

Do all GI problems need surgery?

No. Many GI issues can be managed with medicines, endoscopy or lifestyle changes. Surgery is advised when it clearly improves safety, comfort or long-term outcome compared to non-surgical options.

02

Is laparoscopic surgery always better than open surgery?

Laparoscopy often means smaller cuts and quicker comfort, but the “better” option depends on your condition, previous surgeries, anatomy and safety. The approach is recommended after reviewing these factors.

03

How long will I stay in hospital for common GI surgeries?

Many planned gallbladder and appendix surgeries require a short stay of a few days. More complex intestinal or abdominal wall procedures may need longer. This is discussed clearly before admission.

04

When can I return to work or routine activity?

Light activities usually resume early, while heavy lifting and strenuous work are increased gradually over days to weeks depending on the type of surgery and your job profile.

05

Will I need long-term medicines after GI surgery?

Some conditions require short-term medicines only, while others may need long-term acid suppression, nutritional support or monitoring. This is guided by your final diagnosis and recovery.

06

Can I share my reports before visiting the hospital?

Yes. You may email your reports and summaries to drtapasmishra@gmail.com for a preliminary view. A physical examination and full consultation are still essential before making final decisions.
