What is Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis?
Laparoscopic adhesiolysis is a technique which is commonly used for the treatment of acute bowel obstructions. This procedure was earlier used by gynecologists for treating infertility and chronic pelvic pain. But today, it has become the treatment of choice for bowel obstructions as it has many benefits over invasive surgery. One of the biggest benefits of this procedure is that very less recovery time is required as the patient has to experience relatively less postoperative pain. The incidence of ventral hernia is drastically reduced and there are also fewer post operative complications. The return to normal bowel function is faster when compared to a surgery and the severity of intra abdominal adhesions after laparoscopic adhesiolysis is much less. People with complete or chronic bowel obstructions are usually advised to undergo this procedure.

Appendectomy
What Is Appendectomy?
An appendectomy is a surgery conducted in order to remove the vermiform appendix. This surgery is usually done when the appendix is inflamed or infected and if there is a danger that it will burst. This surgical procedure is done under general anesthesia because it involves making an incision in the lower right side wall of the abdomen. An appendectomy is a very important procedure because there is no other way of treating an infected or inflamed appendix. It is often done as an emergency procedure because the symptoms of appendicitis appear very quickly and also because a ruptured appendix is a life-threatening condition because of the large amount of infectious material that it releases into the bloodstream and abdomen. The surgery is an easy one but there are some chances of complications.

Appendicitis
What Is Appendicitis?
Appendicitis is a painful and potentially dangerous condition caused by the inflammation of the vermiform appendix, a very small vestigial organ. The reasons for the inflammation vary from accumulation of thick mucus to the presence of hardened stool. The blockage of the appendix results in bacterial infection of the walls of the appendix. The most common symptom of appendicitis is acute abdominal pain that is very diffuse. The next stage is the inflammation of the abdominal lining called peritoneum. Other symptoms of appendicitis include nausea and vomiting. The inflamed appendix is in danger of rupturing, in which case the health of the patient is compromised. The only treatment for appendicitis is to surgically remove it via a surgery called appendectomy since it rarely responds to medication.

Gastric Endoscopy
What Is Gastric Endoscopy?
Gastric endoscopy is a medical procedure whereby the doctor is able to view the inside lining of the patient’s digestive tract. This is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed with the aid of a highly flexible fiber optic tube that has a camera at the end that is inserted into the body. The other end of the tube has an eyepiece that enables the doctor to view the digestive tract easily or it can also be connected to a TV monitor. Since a gastric endoscopy does not require a large incision, it is generally done under local anesthesia. It is necessary because certain problems do not show up on conventional imaging reports. There have been instances of people suffering complications after a gastric endoscopy but these problems are rare.

Bladder’s Surgery
Surgery on bladder is opted for patients
suffering from incontinence or bladder cancer. The urine flow might be blocked
due to the pressure exerted by the tumors on urethra. In such patients, bladder
surgery is the only option left to eliminate any kind of cancerous growth and
thus restore the bladder to normal functioning. There are many reasons for
incontinence and the stress exerted over the abdomen due to various reasons
like coughing, sneezing, bending over or even laughing can result in urine
discharge involuntarily. Women are susceptible to stress incontinence than men
with the ratio of 2:1. A few treatment
choices include exercises; estrogen therapy, absorbent clothing and even
protective covering can be of great help. When it comes to men, incontinence is
caused due to bladder stones or enlarged prostate gland. Bladder surgery is
often considered as the last option when all the other options fail. There are
four major preferences for bladder surgery and they include urethral sling, retro
pubic suspension, artificial urinary sphincter and bladder stone removal.
