Track 7: Small Bowel and Colonic Disease Advancing Diagnosis and Care in Digestive Health 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition October 12–14, 2026 | Dubai, UAE & Online


What Is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is a medical specialty focused on the digestive system and its disorders. It encompasses the study, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Gastroenterologists play a vital role in managing both acute and chronic digestive conditions using medical therapy, endoscopy, and preventive strategies.

Body Parts Involved

The small bowel (small intestine) and colon (large intestine) are essential components of the digestive system.

·         Small Bowel: Responsible for digestion and absorption of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

·         Colon: Absorbs water and electrolytes, forms stool, and plays a key role in gut immunity and microbiota balance.

Disorders affecting these organs can disrupt digestion, nutrition, and overall health.

Common Problems in Small Bowel and Colonic Disease

Diseases of the small bowel and colon may present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, bleeding, weight loss, and fatigue. Common challenges include:

·         Delayed or difficult diagnosis due to overlapping symptoms

·         Chronic inflammation and recurrent flare-ups

·         Nutritional deficiencies and malabsorption

·         Increased risk of complications such as strictures, perforation, and cancer

Early recognition and accurate diagnosis are crucial for effective management.

Solutions and Management Strategies

Modern gastroenterology offers a wide range of solutions for small bowel and colonic diseases:

·         Advanced endoscopic techniques (capsule endoscopy, balloon-assisted enteroscopy, colonoscopy)

·         Imaging modalities such as CT enterography and MRI

·         Medical therapies including biologics, immunomodulators, antibiotics, and probiotics

·         Dietary interventions and nutritional support

·         Surgical management for severe or refractory cases

A multidisciplinary and patient-centered approach ensures optimal outcomes.

Types of Small Bowel and Colonic Diseases

Key conditions discussed under this track include:

·         Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis

·         Infectious Colitis: Bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections

·         Functional Disorders: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

·         Malabsorption Disorders: Celiac disease, short bowel syndrome

·         Neoplastic Conditions: Benign polyps and colorectal cancer

·         Vascular and Ischemic Disorders: Ischemic colitis

Each condition requires individualized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Effects on Patients and Healthcare Systems

Small bowel and colonic diseases can significantly affect physical health, mental well-being, and daily functioning. Chronic illness may lead to reduced productivity, frequent hospital visits, and long-term healthcare costs. From a healthcare perspective, these conditions demand ongoing research, improved screening programs, and access to advanced treatments to reduce disease burden globally.

Conclusion

Small bowel and colonic diseases remain a major focus within gastroenterology due to their prevalence, complexity, and impact on patient quality of life. Track 7 of the 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition provides a vital platform for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to share knowledge, explore innovations, and improve patient care. By advancing early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and collaborative research, the future of small bowel and colonic disease management continues to move toward better outcomes and healthier lives.
