Overview

Minimal Access/Laparoscopic Surgery is a surgical technique which involves small (keyhole) incisions instead of large cuts. The laparoscopic surgeon introduces a telescope with a video camera through this incision into the body cavity and operates by viewing the internal parts on a TV monitor. In traditional open surgery, the surgeon is unable to see directly into the patient without a large incision. The video camera efficiently becomes a surgeon’s eyes in minimal access surgery, since to perform the procedure; the surgeon uses the image from the video camera placed inside the patient’s body. When the abdomen is operated using a telescope, the procedure is called laparoscopy. On the other hand, when used in a joint, it is called arthroscopy, and when used in the chest, the procedure is called thoracoscopy.

This minimal access surgery helps in early recovery of patients as they are usually walking around in a few hours after the surgery and can resume their daily activities in no time. Laparoscopic surgery causes minimal pain and has excellent cosmetic results. When compared to traditional open surgery, in laparoscopic or minimal access surgery patients experience less pain, less scarring and have a shorter recovery time. Minimal access surgery can successfully treat thyroid and parathyroid, hernia, appendix, anorectal conditions, diseases of gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder stones and certain clinical conditions involving pancreas, adrenal glands, spleen, kidneys and the liver.

Appendix Surgery

Appendix is a small worm like structure attached to the cecum, the beginning of the colon, on the lower right side of abdomen. During first few years of life, appendix functions as part of the immune system, but after that it does not have any known function. Sudden inflammation of appendix is known as Appendicitis and if you are able to recognize its symptoms, you can prevent serious appendicitis complications from occurring. The most serious complication of appendicitis is an infection of the lining of your abdominal cavity (peritonitis). This may occur if your appendix ruptures (perforates) and the contents of your intestines and infectious organisms invade the peritoneal cavity. Peritonitis is a medical emergency requiring immediate appendix treatment via surgery.

They often have a reduced range of motion at the joints caused by muscle stiffness. The cause of the development of cerebral palsy and its effect on various body functions varies greatly. Some people can walk, while others require assistance. Some may have intellectual disabilities, while others may not. People with cerebral palsy may also have epilepsy, blindness, or deafness.

While hernias can develop in different parts of the body, such as the abdomen, belly button, or upper thigh/groin area, they are most commonly seen in the groin region. Some hernias may be present at birth, while others develop later in life. Although hernias can be asymptomatic, they can also cause mild to severe pain. Surgery is the only way to cure a hernia, as it does not resolve on its own.

Hiatal Hernia

A hiatal hernia is a type of hernia that occurs when the upper part of the stomach bulges up into the chest through an opening in the diaphragm, a large muscle that helps to breathe. The diaphragm is situated in between the abdomen and chest. The muscle has a small opening known as hiatus, where the oesophagus and stomach joins.In the case of a hiatal hernia, a small portion of the stomach bulges through this opening and enter the chest. In most cases, the hiatal hernia is small and usually doesn’t cause any symptoms or complications. However, if the hiatal hernia is more prominent in size, it may cause some symptoms like heartburn.

The tapeworm has an outer layer derived from the host, an intermediate laminated layer, and an inner germinal layer. The hydatid cysts can be single or multiple and can become calcified. They may be asymptomatic but present with abdominal pain or a mass. A rupture or secondary infection of cysts can occur along with associated biliary obstruction. All patients should be treated with medicines before administering any definitive therapy. Surgical removal of the intact cyst is the preferred treatment when there is communication between the cyst and the biliary system.

Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands

The thyroid is a small (butterfly-shaped) gland. It is located at the lower part of the neck. Its function is to secrete hormones. The thyroid gland is regulated by control centres in the brain - hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The hypothalamus in our brain releases a thyrotropin-releasing hormone or (TRH). The release of thyrotropin-releasing hormone tells the pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). This thyroid-stimulating hormone, circulating in your bloodstream, is what tells the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones and release them into the bloodstream. The main hormones that are released by the thyroid gland are triiodothyronine (abbreviated as T3) and thyroxine (abbreviated as T4). These are responsible for delivering energy to the cells of our body and are one of the main hormones to control the body's metabolism.
