Laparoscopy Surgery Treatment in India at Aastha Healthcare Hospital

'Going under the scissors' has always been a fear lived by practically every human. Whenever we talk about an operation, the first thing that comes to mind is - "Oh God! They are going to cut me open…." Well, not anymore! Reducing the size of incisions has been a dream of surgeons for thousands of years and with Laparoscopy, they have been able to achieve just that.

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure performed through very small incisions in the abdomen, using specialized instruments. This type of surgery is also called 'minimally invasive surgery' or 'keyhole surgery' because of the very small incisions used. Yet major procedures can now be performed using this technique. In this procedure, a pencil-thin instrument called a laparoscope is used. A laparoscope has lenses like a telescope to magnify body structures, a powerful light to illuminate them, and a miniature video camera. The camera sends a magnified image from inside the body to a video monitor, giving the surgeon a close-up view of the organs and tissues. Specialized surgical instruments can be inserted through the laparoscope, and through small incisions nearby. These instruments serve as tiny hands within the abdomen and assist the surgeon. Laparoscopy is used either to treat the problem (laparoscopic surgery) or to diagnose it (diagnostic laparoscopy). With laparoscopy, the doctor can identify diseased organs, take tissue samples for biopsy, and remove abnormal growths.

Advantages of laparoscopy surgery :

Despite small holes, there is no compromise in the field of vision. Much more of the 'insides' can be seen than is possible at an open operation. Unlike the 'mini-incision' operations, here the entire abdomen can be visualised ensuring no abnormal anatomy or pathology is missed. In the case of diagnostic laparoscopy, quick information is gained and the entire procedure can be recorded on video and further opinion can be taken from other surgeons in case of a diagnostic dilemma.

Laparoscopic Hernioplasty Treatment in India at Aastha Healthcare Hospital

What is Hernia?

A hernia is an abnormal protrusion, or bulging out, of part of an organ through the tissues that normally contain it. A hernia may develop in almost any part of the body; however, the muscles of the abdominal wall are most commonly affected. In this condition, a weak spot or opening in a body wall, often due to laxity of the muscles, allows part of the organ to protrude. Hernias by themselves usually are harmless, but nearly all have a potential risk of having their blood supply cut off (becoming strangulated). If the hernia sac contents have their blood supply cut off at the hernia opening in the abdominal wall, it becomes a medical and surgical emergency. There are many different types of abdominal wall hernias.

What are the symptoms?

The signs and symptoms of a hernia can range from noticing a painless lump to the painful, tender, swollen protrusion of tissue that one is unable to push back into the abdomen-possibly a strangulated hernia. A gap in the abdominal wall is not normally a problem in itself; it is the bulge of intestine that fills the gap that can potentially cause complications. Whether you feel severe pain or none whatsoever, it is important to have a hernia treated as quickly as possible. Every move you make puts more pressure on the internal tissues, forcing them further out of the gap. This enlarges both the gap and the bulge. If left untreated, a large part of the intestine can move inside the hernia.

In the case of an incarcerated hernia, the intestine gets trapped inside the hernia and is not able to come out. This causes a bowel obstruction, which results in severe groin pain, abdominal distension and vomiting. If it remains in the hernia too long, the blood supply can be cut off and the intestine can die, leading to a dangerous, sometimes fatal, strangulated hernia. Sometimes symptoms like nausea and vomiting may accompany pain. These are actually signs of bowel obstruction. Fortunately, with early treatment, the development of incarcerated and strangulated hernias is now quite rare.

Care at home

Once the patient is back at home, it is important to keep the incision clean and dry. The physician will give specific bathing instructions. If stitches or surgical staples are used, they will be removed during a follow-up office visit. If adhesive strips are used, they should be kept dry and generally will fall off within a few days.

The incision and the abdominal muscles may ache, especially after long periods of standing. Pain relievers for soreness can be taken as recommended by the physician.

'Going under the scissors' has always been a fear lived by practically every human. Whenever we talk about an operation, the first thing that comes to mind is - "Oh God!

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure performed through very small incisions in the abdomen, using specialized instruments. This type of surgery is also called 'minimally invasive surgery' or 'keyhole surgery' because of the very small incisions used. Yet major procedures can now be performed using this technique.

In the case of diagnostic laparoscopy, quick information is gained and the entire procedure can be recorded on video and further opinion can be taken from other surgeons in case of a diagnostic dilemma.

Laparoscopy is easier on the patient because it uses a few very small incisions. For example, traditional "open surgery" on the abdomen usually requires a four- to five-inch incision through layers of skin and muscle. In laparoscopic surgery, the doctor usually makes two to three incisions that are about a half-inch long. The smaller incisions cause less damage to body tissue, organs and muscles. So the advantages of laparoscopy are:

• Fast recovery
  The patients can return to work much faster compared to the traditional 'open surgeries'. The reason being that the damage to tissues and muscles is less because incision made during laparoscopic procedure is very small.
  
  
• Short hospital stay
  Depending on the kind of surgery, patients may be able to return home a few hours after the operation, or after a brief stay in the hospital.
  
  
• Less postoperative pain
  The amount of discomfort varies with the kind of surgery. But the pain is much less compared to the open surgery. This is because, in laparoscopic surgeries, it is not required to cut the abdominal muscles. The laparoscopy surgeons just make tiny incisions for the instrument to go inside.
  
  
• Better cosmetic results
  The incisions for laparoscopic surgery are very small. So they heal without noticeable scars.
  
  
• Less chance of hospital acquired infections
  The chances of hospital-acquired infections are less. The reason being that since the incisions are small, healing rate is higher and so the stay in hospital is less.
