Gastroenterology is the medical specialty that focuses on the digestive system and its disorders.
This specialty focuses on diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the organs from the mouth to the anus, as well as the organs along the alimentary canal. Gastroenterologists are doctors who work in this field. Colonoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic ultrasound, and liver biopsy are all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed by gastroenterologists.
Advanced endoscopy, also known as interventional or surgical endoscopy, is a gastroenterology subspecialty that focuses on advanced endoscopic techniques for the treatment of pancreatic, hepatobiliary, and gastrointestinal disease. Endoscopic bariatric procedures are also performed by some advanced endoscopists.
Hepatology, also known as hepatobiliary medicine, is the study of the liver, pancreas, and biliary tree and is traditionally considered a sub-specialty of gastroenterology, whereas proctology is the study of disorders of the anus, rectum, and colon and is traditionally considered a sub-specialty of general surgery.
