Gastroenterology and Hepatology

gi
Gastroenterological diseases affect the:
  • mouth
  • esophagus
  • stomach
  • small intestine
  • large intestine

Diseases of the hepatobiliary system affect the:
  liver         gall bladder         bile ducts

 

This system works together to move food along the digestive tract, while absorbing nutrients and discarding waste products. These organs are involved with the production, storage, transport and release of bile, a secretion that prepares fats for further digestion.

Whether you have a common digestive disorder like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), constipation or heartburn, or a precancerous condition like Barrett’s esophagus, or you would like to schedule a colonoscopy, Stony Brook Medicine's Gastroenterology and Hepatology program can offer you optimal treatment.
