Gastro and Laparoscopic Surgeon
Gastrointestinal surgery treats problems of the digestive system. The oesophagus, stomach, small, big, and rectum. It also contains the pancreas and liver. It's a particular procedure where the physician does surgery through multiple small holes in the abdomen with a camera. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) Traditional surgical techniques would have required far larger incisions. The procedure is the same, even if the incisions are smaller.
Gastrointestinal surgery is used to address indigestion-related conditions. The oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum are included. Along with those three organs is the pancreas. In laparoscopic surgery, a surgeon uses a camera and many small incisions in the abdomen to execute the procedure. "Minimally intrusive surgery" is another term for it. Using conventional surgical methods, these incisions would have been substantially larger. Even though the incisions are significantly smaller, the procedure is essentially the same.
Even though many digestive disorders can be resolved with lifestyle changes or drugs, some illnesses may necessitate laparoscopic surgical intervention.
In the field of gastrointestinal surgery, laparoscopic surgery and hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) are considered "minimally invasive" procedures that are routinely employed to treat illnesses of the digestive tract. Laparoscopic surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Compared to traditional colon or other parts of the intestine surgery, which requires a large incision down the centre of the abdomen, this surgery only needs a few small "keyhole" incisions in the belly. In hand-assisted surgery, a 3-4 inch incision is also made to provide access to the abdominal organs for the surgeon's hand during the procedure. As a result, the person receiving the operation may suffer less pain and scarring following the process and a more quick recovery from the procedure.
Laparoscopic surgery can be used to treat problems that arise from conditions such as:
- Crohn's disease
- Colorectal cancer
- Diverticulitis
- Familial polyposis is a condition that causes a lot of colon polyps, which makes you more likely to get colorectal cancer.
- Bowel incontinence
- Rectal prolapse is when the rectum comes out of the anus through the rectum.
- Ulcerative colitis
- Colon polyps that are too big for colonoscopy to remove.
- Chronic severe constipation that can't be treated with medicine.
