Hernia Surgery is a medical procedure performed to repair a hernia, which occurs when an organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot or opening in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. The surgery involves pushing the protruding tissue back into place and strengthening the weakened area with sutures or a mesh patch to prevent recurrence.
Cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver. The gallbladder stores bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver, and releases it into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of fats. Cholecystectomy may be performed as an open surgery or laparoscopically, using small incisions and specialized instruments.
Appendectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the appendix, a small pouch located in the lower right abdomen. The appendix is believed to be a vestigial organ with no known essential function in humans. Appendectomy is commonly performed to treat appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix, which can lead to serious complications if left untreated.
Colectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the partial or total removal of the colon, also known as the large intestine. This procedure may be performed for various reasons, including the treatment of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), diverticulitis, or severe constipation that does not respond to other treatments.
Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure involving the partial or total removal of the thyroid gland, which is located in the neck and produces hormones that regulate metabolism, energy levels, and other bodily functions. This procedure may be performed to treat thyroid disorders such as thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), or large goiters that cause difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Mastectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of one or both breasts, typically performed to treat or prevent breast cancer. This procedure may involve the removal of the entire breast tissue, including the nipple and areola (total mastectomy), or only a portion of the breast tissue (partial mastectomy or lumpectomy).
Haemorrhoidectomy, also known as piles surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to remove swollen or inflamed haemorrhoidal tissue, which is commonly known as piles. Haemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus that can cause pain, bleeding, itching, and discomfort. Haemorrhoidectomy is typically performed when conservative treatments such as dietary changes, topical medications, or minimally invasive procedures fail to provide relief from symptoms.
The Whipple procedure, also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complex surgical procedure performed to treat tumours and conditions affecting the pancreas, bile duct, and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). During the Whipple procedure, the surgeon removes the head of the pancreas, the first part of the small intestine (duodenum), the gallbladder, and part of the bile duct.
Hepaticojejunostomy is a surgical procedure performed to restore bile flow between the liver and the small intestine (jejunum) when the bile ducts are blocked or damaged. During this procedure, the surgeon creates a new connection between the bile ducts and the small intestine, allowing bile to bypass the blocked or damaged portion of the bile ducts and flow directly into the intestine.
