Track 1: General Surgery

General surgery is a multi-disciplinary area of surgery and healthcare that deals majorly with the abdominal and gastrointestinal tract. Surgeons dealing with general surgery expertise in Trauma, Laparoscopy, Colorectal surgery, Vascular Surgery, Endocrine Surgery, Transplant Surgery, Surgical Oncology, and Endoscopy. General surgery is one such branch of surgery that requires specific instrumentation and precisely specialized solutions. A general surgeon deals with the central core of anatomy, immunology, intensive care, metabolism, neoplasia, nutrition, pathology, physiology, shock, and resuscitation, and wound healing. A general surgeon is known to handle the diagnosis of a condition, followed by the pre-operative, operative, and post-operative care, including complications during and post-surgery.

Track 2: Pediatric and Neonatal Gastroenterology

The gastrointestinal tracts of children are quite different from those of adults. Various treatments that are prescribed to adults cannot be prescribed to kids; hence the sub-specialty of pediatric gastroenterology was created, to overlook the kids suffering from various abdominal issues. Pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatric hepatologists, and dietitians together help children with biliary atresia, celiac disease, chronic abdominal pain, constipation, gastrointestinal conditions, hepatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, nausea, obesity, reflux, short bowel syndrome, and vomiting. Kids often suffer from chronic diarrhea and mal-absorption or cystic fibrosis. Neonates/ Newborns with congenital gastrointestinal anomalies make up one of the largest percentages of patients in the pediatric wards. The specialists needed to treat neonates comprises of the multidisciplinary team including neonatologists, pediatric gastroenterologist surgeons, and radiologists who provide care to the infants showing regurgitation, constipation, and diarrhea symptoms.

Track 3: Pancreatic Diseases

Inaccessibility of pancreas makes it harder to evaluate the course of pancreatic diseases. Even blood tests are often misleading; hence the specialists depend on radiographic and imaging tests like CT, MRCP, ERCP, EUS to detect pancreatic diseases. But sometimes, surgical exploration is the only way to evaluate the course of pancreatic diseases. Pancreatic diseases include pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, pseudocysts, neoplasms, annular pancreas and pancreatic cancer. Hepato-pancreato-biliary disease affects the liver, bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder, thereby having a common symptom viz., jaundice, dark urine, and light stools. Hepato-biliary diseases include Liver cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, inflammation, cystic, vascular and metabolic disorders, gallstones, and gallbladder cancer.

Track 4: Gastrointestinal Oncology

The cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs which show the symptoms of internal bleeding, acute pains, swelling, inability to digest, difficulty in swallowing or chronic constipation or acute diarrhea. Gastrointestinal cancers are categorized into 2 types- upper gastrointestinal cancers and lower gastrointestinal tract cancers. Diagnosis requires endoscopy followed by a biopsy if there is a suspicion or a cyst. Upper digestive tract cancers include cancers of Esophagus, Stomach, Pancreas, Liver, Gallbladder, and MALT. Lower digestive tract cancers include colorectal cancer, anal cancer, large and small intestine cancers, retroperitoneum and carcinoid tumor. Cancers of the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver are lethal with prolonged hepatitis and liver cancer being the second most common cancers with pancreatic cancer being the 5th common and gastric cancer being the 4th common cancer that claims lives.

Track 5: Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) is a group of chronic inflammatory disorders of colon and intestines. Out of the various types of inflammatory diseases, the most common ones are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease affects mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, and anus while ulcerative colitis affects colon and rectum. Symptoms involve swelling, sudden weight loss, exhaustion, vomiting, anemia, arthritis, and abdominal pains. Although there is no known cure for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, the treatments aim to relieve the symptoms currently experienced by the patient. Although causes of IBD are unknown, they are generally attributed to genetics, diet, microbes, and as a side-effect of other intestinal infections. Treatment includes surgery; medical therapies like antibiotics, immune-suppressants, aminosalicylates, among others; nutritional and diet therapy, microbes, through the use of fecal transplants and stem cell therapies, if available.

Track 6: Hepatitis and Liver Fibrosis

Hepatitis is the irritation of the liver, caused principally by an infection. In any case, there are other potential reasons for hepatitis that incorporate immune system hepatitis and hepatitis caused because of unnecessary meds, drugs, because of unreasonable liquor utilization and furthermore immune system hepatitis. Viral hepatitis is the most widely recognized sort of hepatitis contamination and is brought about by hepatitis infection, and is classified into 5 types-Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C are the most widely recognized with Hepatitis B present in around 400 million individuals all-inclusive. Hepatitis C is the ceaseless type of hepatitis and is seen in around 200 million individuals all around. Hepatitis An and Hepatitis E are spread through debased nourishment and water. Liquor, poisons, drugs are the primary driver of non-viral hepatitis. Arrangement of a huge scar tissue prompts fibrosis chiefly made when liver endeavors fix and supplant the harmed cells. This scar tissue hinders blood move through the liver, subsequently restricting the blood supply which thusly shapes more scar tissue causing entryway hypertension. In spite of the fact that fibrosis creates no manifestations, delayed nearness of fibrosis advances to cirrhosis which shows indications. Fibrosis can be recognized utilizing blood tests and imaging, however, at times a liver biopsy is likewise required. Individuals having perpetual hepatitis, or patients having HIV-Hepatitis Co-contamination, greasy liver, and those inclined to insulin obstruction are in danger of having fibrosis.

Track 7: Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) otherwise called Liver disease is an essential harm issue of the liver happening principally in patients with unending hepatitis and other liver infections. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third real driving reason for malignant growth-related passings universally. The basic side effects are yellowish skin, extreme stomach swelling and agony, loss of craving, weight reduction, sickness, spewing, and weariness. Individuals with unending Hepatitis B and/hepatitis C, patients with the historical backdrop of liquor misuse, the nearness of aflatoxins, individuals with hemochromatosis, or with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, type 2 diabetes, Wilson's illnesses, and Hemophilia, are at high danger of liver malignancy. Treatment techniques incorporate careful re-area, where specialists evacuate the piece of the liver having tumor while attempting to safeguard the sound liver tissue. This technique isn't constantly alluring on the grounds that just about 15% individuals universally are qualified for resection. Another most basic treatment strategy is liver transplant. Be that as it may, inferable from the lack of the organ with expanding rundown of patients for transplant, this alternative isn't constantly prescribed. The most well-known treatments recommended by specialists are the Ablative treatments, viz., radiofrequency removal (RFA), Cryo-removal, Percutaneous ethanol infusion, entry vein embolization, and possibly novel chemotherapeutic operators. These treatments help the patients in mitigating the manifestations and give alleviation.

Track 8: Gastrointestinal Radiology and Imaging

Gastrointestinal radiology is part of demonstrative radiology, which helps in the imaging of any inconsistencies and blocks during any gastro-intestinal and stomach issue. Stomach radiology incorporates imaging of the gastrointestinal and genito-urinary frameworks through CT, Fluoroscopy, MRI, Nuclear Medicine Techniques, Ultrasound, and X-Rays to assess organ transplants, the nearness of malignancies in the mid-region, IBD, and other pelvic issues. In spite of the fact that X-beams and CT at first were utilized in imaging, the headways in the field of imaging and radiology have made it feasible for a clearer and mode high characterized imaging methods using MRI, Nuclear Imaging and endoscopy. Stomach ultrasounds are ordinarily used to examine issues in the gastrointestinal tract, genito-urinary tract and pelvic area. In any case, of all the created radiation tests, ultrasound is considered the most secure as it uses sound waves to make the imaging of organs on the screen. Stomach Ultrasound is utilized in the explorative examination of stomach torment and finds the nearness of entanglements in the upper stomach organs. It helps in recognizing an infected appendix, gallstones, incendiary sicknesses, kidney stones, and liver ailments. Shading Doppler is another sort of imaging methodology used to gauge blood vessel and venous bloodstream to the organs. Exact imaging is critical to address different variations from the norm in the organs and after transplants. Endoscopic Ultrasound alongside positron discharge tomography (PET) examines is generally utilized over CT and MRI as they are viewed as more secure and are savvy.

Track 9: Endoscopy

Endoscopy helps in diagnosing and distinguishing proof of malignancies and gastrointestinal diseases without the need of the explorative medical procedures. An endoscope is embedded either through characteristic openings of the body, similar to mouth, nose, rear-end, urethra or vagina or through the entry point close to the organ to be analyzed. The endoscope is a long adaptable cylinder-like instrument with joined cameras on the edge of the degree. Endoscopy has advanced past the gastrointestinal review. They are ordered into Arthroscopy, Bronchoscopy, Colonoscopy, Ureteroscopy, Laparoscopy, and Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy/esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Endoscopy is probably the most secure system yet it involves negligible uncommon confusions like seeping because of intestinal divider tear and minor diseases. Endoscopy is utilized to assess unexplained stomach torments, dying, gallstones, gastritis, polyps, ulcerative colitis, pancreatic malignant growth, Ulcers, gastric, oesophageal, hepatobiliary, hepatopancreatic, and intestinal ailments. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), is the most generally utilized imaging modalities in the screening of pancreatic malignant growth. In ERCP, the endoscope controls a catheter through the bile channel to embed color into the organ, which makes the pictures demonstrating blockages, tumors or different deterrents. ERCP is additionally used to put a stent into the conduit. Endoscopy isn't just an indicative device yet has likewise been transformed into a remedial instrument because of the progressions in the field of imaging.

Track 10: GI bleeding and Pathology

Gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the basic grumblings of the patients which could be endless, gentle or deadly. The greater part of the occasions, GI draining is contained without anyone else, yet they are anyway assessed to stay away from a repeat and to maintain a strategic distance from the further movement of disease assuming any. Upper GI endoscopy is the initial step during a GI drain, on the off chance that the outcome precludes any upper GI dying, at that point a colonoscopy is performed to discover that the draining is in the lower GI tract. Upper GI drain is normally caused because of peptic ulcers, gastritis, esophageal varices, upper GI malignancies or irritation of the GI. While the normal reason for seep in the lower GI tract is diverticulosis, colon malignant growths or colon polyps, IBD, hemorrhoids, or butt-centric crevices. Side effects incorporate stomach torment, shortness of breath, fair skin, or going out.

Track 11: Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is staged classified by the extent of spread of the cancer and graded how abnormal and/or aggressive the cells appear under the microscope to both determine treatments and estimate prognosis for individual patients. The prognosis of bladder cancer ranges from good to poor and depends on the stage and grade of the cancer.

Track 12: Urology Robotic Surgery

Robotic Urology deals with diseases like Kidney problems, prostate cancer, pelvis, urinary bladder, and uterus problems. It is a leading-edge technology. Because it is minimally invasive, the precision of robotic technology is ideal for delicate and complex urologic surgeries. These include prostatectomies, in which the target site is tightly confined and surrounded by nerves affecting urinary control and erectile function.

Track 13: Gastrointestinal Transplantation

Intestinal transplant is a surgical procedure that aims to resolve intestinal failure as well as other complications related to parenteral nutrition. Intestinal Transplantation has emerged as the standard of care. Intestinal transplants remain the most challenging and least frequently performed vascularized intraabdominal organ transplants. Intestinal transplants, or short bowel transplants, are performed to replace diseased intestines with healthy ones.

Track 14: Nephrology

Nephrology branch of medicine concerned with the find out about of kidney functions and the cure of kidney diseases. The Nephrology Clinic specializes in the analysis and treatment of kidney disorders.

Track 15: Tissue Engineering in the Development of Kidney

Tissue engineering the kidney, the means by which kidney function can be replaced in humans include dialysis and renal allotransplantation. A major goal of tissue engineering is to replace, repair, kidney or enhance the biologic function of damaged tissues or organs. In the case of the kidney, the tissue engineer has a formidable task. This is because the mature kidney is a remarkably complex structure, the function of which is dependent on the growth and differentiation of its precursor cells within the intermediate mesoderm meta- nephric blastema and ureteric bud into a mature organ consisting of many different cell types.

Track 16: Digestive and Liver Disease

The liver is one of the largest organs in your body. It performs hundreds of functions, but its primary jobs are to help digest food, store energy, remove harmful substances from your blood, and fight disease. The liver can be damaged by several diseases and conditions. Liver disease symptoms vary depending on which type of disease one has. In some cases, there may be no symptoms. Common symptoms associated with 1 or more liver diseases include:

Yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice)
Chalky (Gray) stools
Nausea and vomiting
Pain in the upper right part of the belly
Pain in the joints
Bloating or swelling in the belly
Loss of appetite

Track 17: Clinical Colorectal Cancer

Clinical Colorectal Cancer is devoted to manuscripts that focus on early detection/screening, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer, also known as bowel cancer, colon cancer, or rectal cancer, is any cancer that affects the colon and the rectum.

Track 18: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows one to image, assess, and treat GI illnesses. Gastrointestinal endoscopy can be categorized as upper or lower endoscopy depending on whether the upper GI tract (oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, jejunum) or lower GI tract (rectum, colon, and terminal ileum) is examined.

Track 19: Kidney Disease

Track 20: Crohn's & Colitis

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are both forms of inflammatory bowel disease. Crohn's disease most commonly affects the colon and the last part of the small intestine (ileum). Ulcerative colitis affects only the colon. Crohn's colitis is found in about 20 percent of people with Crohn's disease.

Track 21: Hepatobiliary Surgery & Nutrition

The main focus of the Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition is to describe new findings in hepatobiliary diseases, provide current and practical information. The general objective of nutritional support in patients undergoing hepatobiliary surgery are the same as for any other patient undergoing surgery: to decrease postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Track 22: Kidney Transplant

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to place a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on each side of the spine just below the rib cage. Each is about the size of a fist. Their main function is to filter and remove waste, minerals and fluid from the blood by producing urine.

Gastroenterology deals not only with the gastrointestinal disorders or infections of the GI tract and accessory organs, but also with the gastrointestinal therapies, drugs, therapeutics, and devices that are used in the diagnosing of the infections and diseases of the GI tract. According to a recent survey, 6 in 10 people globally, suffer from some form of gastrointestinal disorder at any given point in time. Primarily, the causes of the prevalence of chronic digestive and related diseases are due to lifestyle changes, lack of exercise, overeating, depression, anxiety, and socio-economic and emotional factors.
