A look at common gastrointestinal system diseases: current review

Abstract

The gastrointestinal system consists of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. Although they are called accessory organs, the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are also evaluated in this system with their vital features. Gastrointestinal system disorders (GISD) are observed quite frequently in society. Considering the morbidity and mortality they cause, effective treatment methods become crucial. Situations such as patients’ non-compliance with nutritional recommendations and the inadequacy of pharmacological and surgical methods at some points make different perspectives and treatment methods more valuable. From this point of view, we will try to examine the GISD that causes muscle loss and the physiotherapy modalities that can be applied to these patients in light of the current literature.
