Gastroenterology is an area of medicine which studies the function, structure and diseases of the organs of the digestive system. The digestive system or gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a series of hollow organs which are connected from the mouth to the anus, and includes the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine and rectum. Solid organs of the digestive system include the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas.
A gastroenterologist is a doctor who specializes in digestive organs and the way they work, which includes the movement of substances through the entire digestive system, the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of waste. Gastroenterology doctors are experts in diagnosing, treating and preventing conditions which affect the digestive system.
