Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
BARIATRIC SURGERY
Bariatric surgery is considered for individuals struggling with obesity that hasn't improved through diet and exercise alone. It helps facilitate significant weight loss by altering the digestive system's structure for better metabolic health outcomes.
- Candidates typically experience obesity-related health issues like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea that warrant surgical consideration
COLON RESECTION
A colon resection is performed to remove a portion of the colon due to conditions like cancer, diverticulitis, or inflammatory bowel disease. This procedure aims to improve health outcomes by addressing serious gastrointestinal issues effectively.
- Symptoms prompting surgery may include chronic abdominal pain, significant weight loss, or changes in bowel habits like constipation or diarrhea.
- Diagnosis might involve endoscopy procedures alongside imaging tests for precise assessments of colon health.
- Surgical approaches can vary; options include partial colectomy and total colectomy depending on condition severity.
- Expect post-operative monitoring for recovery progress along with dietary modifications as your digestive system heals.
This intervention can significantly enhance quality of life when conducted timely by skilled professionals in general surgery settings.
GALLBLADDER REMOVAL (CHOLECYSTECTOMY)
The gallbladder may need to be removed if it is inflamed or has gallstones causing pain. A cholecystectomy can alleviate these issues effectively, restoring comfort for patients suffering from biliary colic or cholecystitis.
- Symptoms of gallbladder problems often include sudden pain in the upper right abdomen, especially after meals high in fat.
- A healthcare provider may use imaging studies like ultrasound to confirm diagnosis and determine severity.
- Treatment primarily involves laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which has less recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
- Post-surgery care includes managing diet changes as patients adapt without a gallbladder.
This procedure generally leads to positive outcomes with minimal long-term effects for most individuals.
HERNIA REPAIR
A hernia occurs when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue. Surgical intervention is often required to repair this condition and prevent complications.
- Common symptoms include noticeable bulging in the affected area and discomfort during activities such as lifting or bending.
- Diagnosis usually involves a physical exam, and sometimes imaging tests are necessary.
- Surgical options may include open surgery or minimally invasive techniques using mesh implants to reinforce the abdominal wall.
- The recovery process varies but typically involves rest and gradual return to normal activities under medical guidance.
Persistent management ensures long-term relief from hernia-related issues and minimizes recurrence risks.
APPENDECTOMY
An appendectomy is a common surgical procedure performed to remove the appendix, usually due to appendicitis. This condition occurs when the appendix becomes inflamed and filled with pus, often causing severe pain in the lower right abdomen.
- Symptoms typically include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever.
- Diagnosis often involves physical examination and imaging tests such as ultrasound or CT scans.
- Treatment generally consists of surgery, which can be done laparoscopically or through an open procedure.
- Post-operative care is essential for recovery; expect follow-up visits to monitor healing.
- Complications are rare but can include infection or abscess formation.
Overall, with prompt treatment, most patients recover well after an appendectomy.
