Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

HERNIA REPAIR SURGERY

Hernia Repair Surgery

The surgical correction of hernias involves repairing weakened areas in abdominal muscles where internal organs protrude. This condition can occur in multiple locations like inguinal (groin) or umbilical regions. Surgery aims at relieving symptoms and preventing complications like incarceration or strangulation of tissues

.
    .
  • Symptoms/causes: Signs often manifest as visible bulges along with localized pain upon exertion or straining movements.
  • Diagnosis: Diagnosis typically occurs via physical examinations coupled with imaging studies when necessary.
  • Treatment options: Hernia repair may employ either open surgical techniques offering direct access or minimally invasive laparoscopic approaches providing reduced scarring.
  • What to expect: Post-surgery care includes limited activity levels initially; however healing progresses steadily enabling return towards routine activities within weeks following adequate rest periods.

This surgery minimizes recurrence chances over time significantly enhancing patients’ quality life post-treatment.

ESOPHAGEAL MANOMETRY

Esophageal Manometry

This diagnostic test evaluates esophageal motility by measuring pressure within esophagus segments during swallowing. Esophageal manometry assists in diagnosing various motility disorders like achalasia or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

  • Symptoms/causes: Patients may report dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), chest pain unrelated to heart problems, or persistent heartburn requiring evaluation through this test.
  • Diagnosis: The patient undergoes insertion of a thin catheter through the nose into the esophagus while lying comfortably on their back.
  • Treatment options: Results guide treatment choices ranging from lifestyle changes and medications up to more invasive strategies if motility issues are identified.
  • What to expect: Typically well tolerated; some discomfort might occur during catheter insertion but generally resolves quickly following completion of tests.

This analysis provides valuable insights into how well your esophagus functions during food transit.

LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder. It effectively addresses issues like gallstones and cholecystitis while ensuring quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.

  • Symptoms/causes: Common symptoms necessitating this surgery include recurrent abdominal pain after eating fatty meals or nausea experienced alongside episodes of gallbladder inflammation.
  • Diagnosis: Imaging tests such as ultrasound are conducted prior to surgery confirming the presence of gallstones or inflammation.
  • Treatment options: Laparoscopy offers several small incisions for inserting instruments, leading to reduced post-operative pain and shorter hospital stays.
  • What to expect: Most patients return home within a day; full recovery usually takes about one week with many resuming activities quickly thereafter.

This technique promotes effective treatment while significantly lessening recovery time compared to conventional methods, enhancing patient comfort overall.

GASTROSTOMY TUBE PLACEMENT

Gastrostomy Tube Placement

A gastrostomy tube placement involves creating an opening through the abdominal wall into the stomach to provide nutrition directly. This procedure is beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing or require long-term nutritional support due to various medical conditions.

  • Symptoms/causes: Indications might include neurological disorders or cancers affecting swallowing mechanisms.
  • Diagnosis: Medical evaluations determine candidacy based on nutritional needs and overall health status prior to surgery.
  • Treatment options: Gastrostomy can be performed surgically or via an endoscopic method known as PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy).
  • What to expect: Patients will typically stay in the hospital for monitoring; recovery time varies depending on individual health factors.

This intervention ensures adequate nutritional intake while minimizing risks associated with aspiration pneumonia from dysphagia.

ENDOSCOPIC RETROGRADE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY (ERCP)

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

This advanced procedure combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts and pancreas. ERCP is instrumental in managing gallstones, strictures, and pancreatic disorders.

  • Symptoms/causes: Symptoms prompting ERCP may include jaundice, severe abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss.
  • Diagnosis: Physicians utilize imaging techniques to visualize bile ducts before performing therapeutic interventions if necessary.
  • Treatment options: Common procedures performed during ERCP include stone removal and placement of stents to open blocked ducts.
  • What to expect: The procedure usually requires sedation; patients should rest afterwards as they may feel groggy for a short period.

This approach is essential for alleviating symptoms caused by duct obstructions or abnormalities while improving patient outcomes significantly.

COLONOSCOPY

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is a vital diagnostic procedure that allows for the examination of the interior of the colon. It is commonly used to identify abnormalities such as polyps, tumors, or inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.

  • Symptoms/causes: Patients may experience rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, or abdominal pain, prompting a colonoscopy.
  • Diagnosis: A thorough preparation involving fasting and bowel cleansing is necessary for accurate results.
  • Treatment options: Besides diagnosis, polyps can often be removed during the procedure itself; biopsies may also be taken.
  • What to expect: The procedure typically lasts about 30-60 minutes, and most patients can resume normal activities shortly afterward with minor discomfort.

This examination plays a crucial role in early detection of colorectal cancer and other serious conditions within the gastrointestinal system.
