Best Answer

A gastroenterologist focuses on disorders in the digestive system, which includes all of the organs from the mouth, the stomach, the intestines, and the anus. A proctologist is a specialist who performs surgery exclusively on the rectum, anus, and colon, without focusing on any other organs in the human body.
