General surgeries available at Hegde Hospital

We aid our patients with all types of diseases requiring laparoscopy surgeries.
The different types of surgeries we offer at Hegde Hospital are:

Cholecystectomy

Our well-versed surgeons mainly perform cholecystectomy to treat conditions of gallbladders like gallstones and other complications. The doctor will usually suggest you undergo the surgery if there are gallstones in your bile duct or gallbladder. She/He may also recommend surgery in conditions of gallbladder inflammation, pancreas inflammation because of gallstones, or the occurrence of large gallbladder polyps. In this type of surgical procedure, the doctor will remove the gallbladder, which lies just below your liver and the upper right corner of your abdomen. The primary function of the gall bladder is to release and store bile juice that helps digest food. It is a widespread surgery where there is no risk involved. In fact, most patients can go back home the same day they undergo surgery.

Appendectomy

Appendectomy is another type of surgery that we offer at Hegde Hospital. It is mainly an emergency surgery that helps treat appendicitis. Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix. When the appendix becomes inflamed and swells up, the bacteria start to multiply, causing pus.

Due to the formation of pus, patients go through extreme abdominal pain, and the infection starts spreading in the lower right corner of the abdomen, too. Other symptoms that you may experience include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. It becomes necessary to take treatment for such conditions; otherwise, it can become a life-threatening disease.

Splenectomy

People undergo splenectomy surgery to remove their spleen. The spleen is an integral part of the human system. It acts as the body’s defense system. The organ contains white blood cells, which help destroy bacteria and fight off all disease-causing bacteria. Its main job is to filter red blood cells and remove old ones from circulating in the body.

When the doctor removes only one spleen, it is called a partial splenectomy. Once the spleen is removed, it does not regenerate like the liver. The doctor may suggest you undergo the surgery when you experience a ruptured spleen and are under the threat of the spleen opening up anytime, causing a life-threatening situation.

Adrenalectomy

In this type of surgery, our highly experienced doctors remove either one or both adrenal glands. The primary function of adrenal glands is to produce hormones that regulate blood pressure, the immune system, metabolism, blood sugar, and other essential functions.

The doctor may suggest you go through an adrenalectomy in case your adrenal glands have grown a non-cancerous tumor and have been releasing too many hormones. It may also be recommended if the tumour is cancerous.

Fistula

An anal fistula is a small channel that can develop between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus. It is common among those who had the earlier anal abscess. An anal abscess is an infected cavity which is filled with pus. It is formed when anal abscess drained and not healed properly. It may cause bleeding or discharge while passing stools which may be more painful. If the anal fistula becomes severe, drainage may persist for a long time.

Symptoms:
– Discomfort while sitting

Colorectal Surgery

Many people have colorectal cancer every year; it has become the third most common type of cancer in men and women. In such a case, the people may be required to go through colorectal surgery. It is performed to remove the tumour. The different surgeries you can opt for include local excision, polypectomy, laparoscopic surgery, and resection.

Fundoplication

Fundoplication is another type of surgery that our specialist may suggest you undergo in case of severe gastro-oesophageal conditions. If you are suffering from GERD or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, the doctor will attach a part of your stomach to your lower oesophageal sphincter, which further helps reduce acid reflux.

However, having surgery does not mean you can replace the other control methods of GERD. Even after having surgery, you have to make lifestyle and dietary changes to adapt to healthy living. The doctor mainly adopts this treatment option when other less invasive treatments do not show desired results.

Hernia

If you are going through a hernia problem, it is most probable to be treated only with surgery. Three surgery options are available: laparoscopic repair, open repair, and robotic repair. Our multidisciplinary professional team carries out this surgery in case of three conditions. First, if the intestine tissues have struck the abdomen walls, surgery is essential. This is because if left untreated, it may get strangulated, causing a blockage in the blood supply.

You may also require surgery if there is extreme pain and discomfort in the hernia. Third, if the hernia has strangulated, causing permanent damage and calling for a surgical emergency. If you do not cure it immediately, there is a high chance your intestine will die, and you will become seriously ill.

Obesity surgery

Obesity surgery includes gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries that help reduce weight. This treatment also involves lifestyle changes and diet plans to encourage weight loss. It is mainly recommended by doctors when there are no positive results from the exercise and diet plan set for you.

Surgery may also be recommended if you are experiencing a severe health issue that does not allow your body to reduce weight. Some surgery treatments reduce weight by limiting the capacity you can eat. At the same time, other processes limit the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. However, undergoing surgery does not mean you can ignore diet and exercise.
