Stomach cancer or gastric cancer, is when cancer develops from the lining of the stomach. Early symptoms may include: heartburn, upper abdominal pain, nausea and loss of appetite. Later symptoms may include: weight loss,yellow skin, vomiting, difficulty swallowing and blood in the stool among others. The cancer may spread from the stomach to other parts of the body, particularly the liver, lungs, bones, lining of the abdomen and lymph nodes.

The most common cause is infection by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, which accounts for more than 60% of cases

Colorectal cancer (also known as colon cancer, rectal cancer or bowel cancer) is the development of cancer in thecolon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). It is due to the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

Symptoms :

Diagnosis :

The term rectal prolapse often is used synonymously with complete rectal prolapse (external rectal prolapse), where the rectal walls have prolapsed to a degree where they protrude out the anus and are visible outside the body.However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on if the prolapsed section is visible externally, and if the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved.

Symptoms :

A gallstone (also called cholelithiasis) is a crystalline concretion formed within the gallbladder by accretion of bilecomponents. These calculi are formed in the gallbladder but may distally pass into other parts of the biliary tract such as the cystic duct, common bile duct, pancreatic duct or the ampulla of Vater.

Symptoms :

Tumor of pancreas are usually malignant diseases. Patients usually have jaundice , weight loss, loss of appetite. Early Surgical consultation is mandatory. Good quality CT scan usually sufficient to diagnose the disease. Early surgery ( Whipple's operation) best form of treatment available. In advance cases bypass Surgery or ERCP and biliary stenting for correction of Jaundice

It is a form of cancer that is composed of mutated epithelial cells (or cells showing characteristics of epithelial differentiation) that originate in the bile ducts which drain bile from the liver into the small intestine. Otherbiliary tract cancers include pancreatic cancer, gallbladder cancer, and cancer of the ampulla of Vater.

Liver cysts occur in approximately 5% of the population. However, only about 5% of these patients ever develop symptoms. In general, cysts are thin-walled structures that contain fluid. Most cysts are single, although some patients may have several.

Symptoms :

The symptoms associated with liver cysts include upper abdominal fullness, discomfort, or pain. A small number of patients bleed into the cyst, which causes sudden and severe right upper quadrant and shoulder pain.

Liver tumors or hepatic tumors are tumors or growths on or in the liver Several distinct types of tumors can develop in the liver because the liver is made up of various cell types. These growths can be benign or malignant (cancerous). They may be discovered on medical imaging (even for a different reason than the cancer itself), or may be present in patients as an abdominal mass, hepatomegaly, abdominal pain, jaundice, or some other liver dysfunction.

Symptoms :

An incisional hernia is a type of hernia caused by an incompletely-healed surgical wound. Since median incisions in the abdomen are frequent for abdominal exploratory surgery, ventral incisional hernias are often also classified as ventral hernias due to their location. Not all Ventral Hernias are from incisions, as some may be caused by other trauma or congenital problems.

Symptoms :

Bowel obstruction (or intestinal obstruction) is a mechanical or functional obstruction of the intestines, preventing the normal transit of the products of digestion. It can occur at any level distal to the duodenum of the small intestine and is a medical emergency. The condition is often treated conservatively over a period of 2–5 days with the patient's progress regularly monitored by an assigned physician.

Symptoms :

Bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) includes a variety of procedures performed on people who are obese. Weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through removal of a portion of the stomach (sleeve gastrectomy or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch) or by resecting and re-routing the small intestines to a small stomach pouch (gastric bypass surgery).
