Medical - Medical (general) / Gastrointestinal surgery
Spanish term or phrase: digestivo
I'm working on a text about a device used to assist with gastrointestinal surgery and the term "digestivo" is used, seemingly in reference to a person, and I'm struggling to find instances of the term being used this way anywhere online so I'm not sure exactly what it refers to. Below is the full sentence:

La REM y DSE es realizada por el digestivo colaborando el cirujano a través de los trócares accesorios para hemostasia y tracción obteniéndose piezas de hasta 8 -12 cm de tamaño en un tiempo

  -> Thanks Phil :-)
agree  Toni Castano: Possible meaning, sure, but it could also mean "Servicio de aparato digestivo", not just one person, but the whole team. The context does not permit to know what is exactly meant here.
1 hr
  -> Thanks Toni. I agree, it could be the department, I was torn between both options but went for doctor as thought it went better with "el cirujano"
agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: En el contexto dado sin duda se refiere al médico y no al departamento/servicio.

Explanation:
Not a literal translation per se, but I think it could work in the case of the query sentence:

"EMR and DSE is/are carried out by the team, with the surgeon collaborating..."

PS: I'm not 100% sure about the aconyms...
