What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is a medical specialty that deals with diseases and conditions of the digestive system. The digestive system includes all organs in the body that help you absorb food, break it down into nutrients, and excrete waste.

The digestive tract is divided into four parts: mouth (oral cavity), esophagus (food pipe), stomach (gastric or fundus) and small intestine. That’s why the core focus of Gastroenterology is on diseases and disorders of the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
