A colonoscopy is a procedure that examines the large intestine (colon) and the rectum for changes or abnormalities. A long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is placed into the rectum during a colonoscopy. The doctor can see the inside of the colon thanks to a tiny video camera at the tube's tip.

Oesophagectomy is a surgical method for removing some or complete swallowing tubes between the mouth and stomach, which is then reconstructed using part of another organ, usually the stomach. Oesophagectomy is a common treatment for advanced-stage oesophageal cancer and occasionally for Barrett’s oesophagus, in case aggressive precancerous cells are present. An oesophagectomy may also be recommended for various non-cancerous conditions where the conservative management failed or after ingesting the material that damages the oesophagus lining.

The surgical removal of part or all of the stomach is known as a gastrectomy. A gastrectomy may be recommended by your doctor to treat cancer, benign tumours, severe ulcers, and other stomach-related disorders.

Devascularization procedures are performed to control bleeding from varices in the esophagogastric region. This does not control bleeding from ectopic varices, nor do they treat the underlying condition. & a shunt is a hollow tube placed surgically in the brain (or occasionally in the spine) to help drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and redirect it to another location in the body where it can be reabsorbed. Shunt procedures can address pressure on the brain caused by hydrocephalus and relieve the symptoms such as mild dementia, gait difficulty, and lack of bladder control. There are many types of shunts available, like lumbo-peritoneal shunt or ventriculo-peritoneal or, ventriculo-pleural shunt, ventriculo-atrial shunt, etc.

Biliary stricture happens when the bile duct gets narrower or smaller. Bile is a substance that helps in the digestion of fatty food. A narrowed bile duct makes it difficult for bile to pass to the small bowel and causes bile build-up. Surgical procedures done to correct this abnormality are known as biliary strictures surgery.
