Surgical Gastroenterology

Cholecystectomy

Gallbladder Disease may be of different kinds, depending on which part of the biliary system is affected. Some of the common variations include:
Cholecystitis: This is due to a gallstone obstruction that causes inflammation or infection of the gallbladder.
Cholelithiasis: The Gallbladder has a stone, without any inflammation or infection.      
Choledocholithiasis: It shows the presence of a Gallstone in the bile duct.

Appendectomy

Appendicitis is when the appendix is inflamed. The appendix is a pouch-like Organ in the lower right side of the Abdomen. The Surgery at the particular region for appendicitis is called an Appendectomy.

Hernia

When there is an opening in the abdominal wall, it is called a Hernia. This results in soft tissue such as fat or Intestine bulging through the Abdominal muscles. It mostly occupies space under the skin.

Spleen

The Spleen is located near the left upper part of the Abdomen. It plays a part in the body’s immune system, helping to fight infections, particularly caused by bacteria. It helps significantly in the development of blood cells, and it also helps to remove old blood cells from the bloodstream. Spleen will be removed in cases of Non-cirrhotic Portal Hypertension, Trauma or any Haematological Disorders .

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is also called Acid Reflux, which is a common digestive disorder. It is also called Heartburn, GERD often causes inflammation and damages the Oesophagus, and this leads to damage in the lungs and vocal cords. For this, we will do upper GI Endoscopy, pHmetry and Manometry and will do Surgical Laparoscopic Fundoplication.
