Your Complete Guide On Appendix Surgery Issued By Varanasi Hospital

Your Complete Guide On Appendix Surgery Issued By Varanasi Hospital

Appendectomy or conveniently called appendix surgery is a treatment executed to treat appendicitis by removing the appendix altogether. Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix which occurs due to clogging of fecal particles or foreign bodies. If appendicitis is not given serious consideration, it can result in dangerous scenarios like a burst appendix which infects other parts of the body. That’s the only reason why doctors prescribe appendix surgery as an optimum treatment for appendicitis. We can live without an appendix and above all, it’s always better to get rid of something which is inflamed to such an extent.

So, how appendix surgery is performed by medical surgeons? Well, there are two ways to carry out appendectomy,

– Open appendectomy
– Laparoscopic appendectomy.

Nowadays, minimally-invasive appendix surgery is being given more preference if the patient’s case permits, and if not, then open appendectomy becomes the only option. Let’s discuss in brief about the procedures of open and laparoscopic appendectomy.

Open Appendectomy:

 

 

 

In this method, the surgeon makes one long incision in the lower right abdomen to remove the deceased organ. The operation is complete by making usual stitches. An open appendectomy becomes certain when the ruptured appendix transmits the infection to other body parts.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy:

 

 

 

In laparoscopic appendix surgery, the laparoscopic surgeon uses special devices like laparoscope and thin instruments to remove the appendix. The patient’s abdomen is blown up with carbon dioxide gas (CO2) for better visual convenience. Laparoscopic surgery is entirely carried out with the help of visual monitors and once the appendix is removed, the doctors close the small incisions with sutures and then the CO2 gas is deflated from the abdomen. Some of the known advantages of laparoscopic appendectomy are as follows:

• Early discharge
• A lesser degree post-operative pain
• Near to zero chances of infection
• Cosmetic satisfaction because of almost no scars
• Expeditious or quick recovery
• Early return to normal life.

The surgical technique depends on the patient’s case but post-surgery care is needed for both above-mentioned techniques to facilitate recovery. Here are some discharge guidelines the patient needs to follow at home after surgery:

1. Take better care of your stitches for open appendectomy by keeping the area dry and clean. Do not touch the wound area with uncleaned hands.

2. Rest as much as possible.

3. Never lift or try to lift any heavy object.

4. Choose loose-fitting clothes.

5. Drink a lot of water to curb constipation

6. Consume doctor-prescribed medications.

If you’re looking for a hospital in Varanasi to get appendix surgery, consider Varanasi Hospital to be the one. We are specialists in laparoscopic surgical procedures and also offer cashless hospitalization.

Do You Have Colon Cancer And Require Colorectal Surgery? Find Here

Do You Have Colon Cancer And Require Colorectal Surgery? Find Here

Colon cancer or in better words, colorectal cancer, is cancer that initially occurs in the large intestine and gradually spreads to other parts if not treated on time. As evident, cancer is the abnormal and unrestrained growth of cells that becomes a tumor when clumped together and further deteriorates the functioning of the body’s immune system. The treatment suitable during the primary stages of colon cancer is colorectal surgery. However, when cancer reaches the last stages, certain treatment like the following are suggested by the medical practitioner:
– Chemotherapy
– Radiation therapy
– Immunotherapy
– Palliative care.

So, how would you find out if you have colon cancer or not? To find out, you need to check for the following symptoms:

• Constant changes in your bowel movements (diarrhea or constipation)
• Blood in the stool or dark stools
• Rectal bleeding
• Thin stools
• Abdominal pain
• A feeling of incomplete bowels or tenesmus
• Gas and bloating
• Weakness and exhaustion
• Cramps in the abdomen
• Unpredicted weight loss
• Unexplained anemia
• Iron deficiency or anemia
• Dyspnoea or shortness of breath.

In extreme cases (final stages) of colon cancer, the symptoms intensify causing trouble to the sufferer. The signs that your colon cancer is inching close to the end stages are as follows:

• Chronic headaches
• Blurry or hazy vision
• Pelvic pain
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea and vomiting
• Jaundice.

The important thing to ascertain is whether you’re at a risk of developing colon cancer or not. Let’s find out what makes someone more prone to suffer from colon cancer or simply the causes of colon cancer:

1. Overweight or obesity.
2. Old age.
3. Smoking.
4. Diabetes.
5. Overconsumption of red meat.
6. Low-fiber diet.
7. Alcohol consumption.
8. History of colon polyps (cluster of cells present in the colon).
9. Stationary or sedentary lifestyle.
10. Genetics.

Now, the question arises, how would the doctors find out if it’s colon cancer or something else? The diagnostic examination for colon cancer are as follows:

• Physical exam (by pressing on the patient’s abdomen to check for polyps)
• Blood tests (kidney and liver function tests)
• Colonoscopy
• Barium enema X-rays
• CT Scan.

 

Everything is treatable when diagnosed at an early stage. Open or laparoscopic colorectal surgery can be performed to treat colon cancer. Laparoscopic surgery is also called minimally-invasive surgery. We, at Varanasi Hospital, provide laparoscopic surgery with the help of skilled laparoscopic surgeons.

What Are The Different Treatment Available For Gallstones

What Are The Different Treatment Available For Gallstones

As the name advocates, gallstones are shaped like stones and reside in the gallbladder. They are caused due to excess of cholesterol and bilirubin in the bile which is present in the gallbladder. Various factors play a significant part in the occurrence of gallstones. Some of them are as follows:

• Eating certain foods
• Not following a gallbladder-friendly diet
• Chronic constipation
• Gallbladder problems
• Liver diseases
• Certain chronic diseases like diabetes
• Blood disorders
• Genetics
• Excessive and abrupt weight loss by following a crash diet
• Obesity.

Today, the team of Varanasi Hospital shares with you both surgical and non-surgical treatment for gallstones. We would like to inform you that we provide surgical treatment – open and laparoscopic gallbladder stone surgery in our hospital for permanent expulsion or removal of gallstones.

1.Oral Medicines

Certain oral medications can be used to break down and liquify gallstones. The doctor might prescribe specific oral bile acid pills to the patient with few small-sized gallstones, cholesterol buildup stones, and for the ones who cannot undergo surgery. The only drawback of this treatment is that it takes years to dilute gallstones and is not a permanent cure as the gallstones can arise again after quitting medications.

2. ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)

ERCP is also used as a treatment for gallstones. In this method, an endoscope is placed inside the mouth to free the gallbladder with gallstones. The doctors can even put a biliary stent to unblock the bile duct.

3. ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy)

This is a non-surgical procedure in which shock waves are produced to rupture small gallstones. It is not suitable for people with hard and stubborn gallstones and obesity.

4. Open Gallbladder Stone Surgery

In open cholecystectomy, the gall bladder is removed (either partially or completely) as a long-term solution for gallstones. It is just like any other general surgery which requires the surgeon to slit open the abdomen to perform the treatment.

5. Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy follows the same principle of either partial or whole removal of the gallbladder to put a stop at gallstones to reappear again. This surgical approach is recommended by expert surgeons in a majority of gallstone cases due to its colossal benefits.

If you have finally planned to opt for a gallstones treatment, you can surely come to us for proper medical guidance without any second thoughts. We provide excellent treatment to our patients and if your case allows for a laparoscopic treatment then you will be under the observation of one of the best laparoscopic surgeons, Dr. Manish Jindal.

Why Choose Winter Months For Any Surgical Treatment

Why Choose Winter Months For Any Surgical Treatment

The holy city of Varanasi becomes more beautiful during the months of winter. With beautiful walks to the ghats, listening to mind-soothing Ganga aartis, Varanasi people surely knows how to enjoy winter. But did you know that the cooler months can also prove to be the best time for your operation?

Although there’s no specific time for performing operations, winter season is preferred by a good number of patients for any surgical treatment and even piercings.

Whether it’s general or laparoscopic surgery, the doctors prescribe the surgical procedure by taking certain parameters like the patient’s case history, his or her current condition, and other things into account.

Today, we are sharing with you a few reasons why you should consider cool winter months for your surgical treatment.

No Summer-related Problems

 

 

Summers in Varanasi are not so compassionate, as we have dry and humid summers, and we face strong and dry summer winds (called loo). Also, sunstrokes and heatstrokes are common summer problems faced by us.

Little To Moderate Sun Exposure

 

 

We often get our daily dose of Vitamin D during winters because the winter sun is warm and it has fewer chances of burning our skin. Surgical wounds are more likely to heal slower during summers as overexposure to the sun rays affects the healing of wounds. Surgical scars and wound heal more quickly during winter months.

Low Temperatures

 

 

Winters mean colder months and as we know, low temperatures amplify the healing and recovery process post-surgery. Not everyone has access to air-conditioning system and that makes winter season an ideal time for availing a surgery.

Better Protection To The Surgical Wounds

 

 

In winters, we wrap our bodies with multiple layers to feel warm. This also works well for surgical incisions as less expose our surgical wounds during winters without feeling hot, thus providing better protection to the post-surgical scars.

Starting The New Year With Good Health

 

 

A surgical procedure is overwhelming for the patient. If you have your laparoscopic surgery done during winters, of course, you’ll heal in no time and can welcome the new year with a big smile.

Happy And Enjoyable Summer

 

 

Getting your surgery performed during the cold season is best because it will let you enjoy your summer season without any trouble. Since you have dedicated the entire winter season for your post-surgery recovery, you do not have to worry about any surgery-related issues in summers.

An important thing to note is that just because winter season is considerable better for surgical treatment, it does not mean you should wait till winters in case of an urgent requirement for surgery. If you’re looking for a good hospital to get your surgical treatment, consider Varanasi Hospital as your preferred option. We specialize in laparoscopic surgeries and we have one of the best laparoscopic surgeons in our team. Till then, enjoy the upcoming months of winter.

FAQs On Laparoscopic Rectopexy

FAQs On Laparoscopic Rectopexy

Laparoscopic rectopexy is a surgical procedure performed by surgeons to treat rectal prolapse. There are many concerns by patients related to this medical procedure which we have answered in this blog.
Read more: Rectal prolapse: causes, symptoms and treatment

Here, we have responded to some common questions asked by people associated with laparoscopic rectopexy.

Q. Why to go for a laparoscopic rectopexy and not open rectopexy?

A: Rectopexy can be executed by both open and laparoscopic procedures. However, the laparoscopic technique is highly approved by the good laparoscopic surgeons because it is a minimally-invasive surgery, and a laparoscopic surgical method has immense advantages and a high success rate than conventional open surgery. Some of the advantages of a laparoscopic rectopexy, when compared to an ordinary open rectopexy, are as follows:

  • Minimum incisions or cuts
  • Low or no blood loss
  •  Minimal chances of infection
  • Less pain
  • Zero complications
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Speedy recovery
  • Higher success rate
  • Completely safe.

So, laparoscopic rectopexy is mostly preferred and in huge demand than a typical open operation. We, at Varanasi Hospital, are well-equipped with the latest techniques and equipment required for laparoscopic rectopexy. We are proud to announce that we are one of the best laparoscopic hospitals in Varanasi.

Q. How laparoscopic rectopexy is carried out?

A: During a laparoscopic rectopexy, the patient is first given anesthesia to carry out the further procedure. Then, the surgery begins, in which the surgeon makes few small incisions in the patient’s abdomen through which a laparoscope (a thin medical instrument with a high-intensity light and a high resolution camera at its end) and other surgical tools specifically designed for laparoscopic operation are inserted to repair the prolapsed rectum.

Q. Can rectal prolapse occur again even after laparoscopic rectopexy?

A: The chances of recurrence is extremely low after laparoscopic rectopexy as the surgeons after fixing the protruding rectum make usual stitches with a surgical mesh instead. The surgical mesh ensures that the rectum does not come out of its place, thus saving the patient from a recurring prolapsed rectum.

Q. What are the precautions a patient needs to undertake after a laparoscopic rectopexy?

A: Thankfully, laparoscopic rectopexy has fewer complications than normal rectopexy. Still, some safety measures should be considered by the patient post-surgery. Some precautionary tips to follow after a laparoscopic rectum repair surgery are as follows:

  • Drink lots of water and other fluids like fruit juices, coconut water and so on
  • Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables (after the soft diet phase is over)
  • Avoid sports or any other outdoor activities
  • Don’t do heavy lifting or any other strenuous activity
  • Take plenty of rest and sleep
  • Keep your surgical incisions dry and clean to prevent infections (which is very rare) and wear loose clothing
  • Follow up with your doctor for post-surgical check-ups.

Your doctor might suggest you stool softeners post-surgery to keep constipation and reoccurring prolapsed rectum at bay.

So, we hope all your queries about laparoscopic rectopexy have been cleared. We, at Varanasi, provide laparoscopic rectopexy surgery and post-surgery care to people in Varanasi and Northern UP.

Eat These Foods To Prevent Gallstones

Eat These Foods To Prevent Gallstones

The gallbladder is an organ that resembles the shape of a pear and is placed underneath the liver. The basic or fundamental function of the gallbladder is to collect, store and concentrate bile produced by the liver. Following a gallbladder- friendly diet is important or else it will lead to gallstones, that might lead to serious problems like cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, cholangitis, etc.
If you are already suffering from gallstones, then you should take special care of your diet.

Gallstones reoccur frequently so doctors can recommend gallbladder stone surgery for its cure.

Gallstones are a common gallbladder issue that can be checked by making some alterations in your diet so that your risk of developing gallstones is reduced to some degree. Here are some foods that you can eat to prevent gallstones:

Whole Grains

 

Replace refined foods with whole-grain foods like oats, whole wheat bread, brown rice, buckwheat, as they are a healthier alternative of refined foods.

High fiber foods

 

Foods that have a high fiber content can reduce the risk of gallstones formation. Mention of few examples of high fiber foods can be made of- flaxseeds, black beans, kidney beans, peas, chickpeas, lentils, apricots, sweet potatoes, chia seeds, and soybeans.

·Fresh fruits and vegetables:Eating an adequate amount of fruits and vegetables daily improves gallbladder’s health. So eat fruits and vegetables like,
– Oranges
– Lemons
– Apples
– Tomatoes
– Beetroot
– Cauliflower
– Broccoli
– Okra or lady’s finger
– Cabbage
-Bananas

Healthy Fats

 

Include foods with healthy fats such as- walnuts, almonds, olive oil, fish, cashews, coconut oil, eggs, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and yogurt, as they improve gallbladder’s health and prevent gallstones.

Iron-rich Foods

 

Several studies have confirmed that low-iron intake is linked with gallstones. So, consume more iron by adding high-iron foods like spinach, mushrooms, chicken liver, dried apricots, dark chocolate, unpeeled potatoes in your food.

Coffee:

 

Caffeine present in coffee reduces the risk of having gallstones but consider drinking coffee to a moderate level.

In conclusion, following a healthy diet and an active lifestyle has good effects on your gallbladder’s health. If you have any gallbladder related concerns, do not hesitate to ask for professional help from us, the best hospital in Varanasi.

Rectal Prolapse: Causes, Symptoms And Treatment

Rectal Prolapse: Causes, Symptoms And Treatment

A “prolapse” means when something falls out of its designated place. Rectal prolapse is a medical condition in which the rectum leaves its actual place and comes out through the anus instead. Though not a serious medical emergency, the situation is still bothersome and worrisome.

The person suffering from rectal prolapse feels uncomfortable, embarrassed, and face troubles in carrying out daily activities. There are three types of rectal prolapse as written as follows:

1. Internal Prolapse:

In internal prolapse, the rectum comes out of its position but does not leave through the anus, but rather folds in itself.

2. Partial or Mucosal Prolapse:

During partial or mucosal prolapse, only the rectal lining starts to drop out through the anus.

3. Complete or Full-Thickness Prolapse:

In this prolapse, the rectum entirely comes out through the anus and becomes noticeable.

Since now you know the three general types of rectum prolapse, it is important to know the causes lurking behind this unappealing situation. The causes responsible for rectal prolapse are as follows:

  • Chronic constipation and chronic difficulty in bowel movements
  • Due to a difficult normal delivery or vaginal birth in women
  • Weak rectal and anal muscles mainly because of old age
  • Nerve damage due to an injury in the spinal cord
  • Genetics.

The signs and symptoms that ensure that your rectum is prolapsed are mentioned as follows:

  •  A visible reddish bulge protruding out from your anus
  • Bleeding rectum
  • Constipation
  • Chronic diarrhea
  • Bowel or anal incontinence (occasional and uncontrollable leakage of stool or liquified feces)
  • Mucus coming out from the anus
  • Pain and discomfort in the anal region.

An important thing to note is that rectal prolapse and hemorrhoids are completely different medical conditions and thus, should not be confused.

To diagnose rectal prolapse, the doctor performs a rectal exam where you have to pretend that you are trying to pass a bowel movement. The doctor also executes other necessary tests to conclude that you have a prolapsed rectum like- Anal manometry, Proctography (X-Ray for rectum), Anal ultrasound and Colonoscopy. The diagnostic tests vary for each case.

The archetypal treatment for treating rectal prolapse is the surgical method (especially in adults). For children, the pediatrician recommends stool softeners, laxatives, antibiotics (to treat bacterial infection), and sometimes injections. Surgery is very rare and happens when other treatments fail to work.

For adults, the most successful and hence most suggested treatment is laparoscopic rectopexy. In a laparoscopic rectopexy, the laparoscopic surgeon repairs the rectal prolapse by restoring the rectum to its actual location and further making stitches by using surgical mesh to prevent rectum from sticking out of its place.

We, at Varanasi Hospital, provide laparoscopic rectopexy to our patients with a higher success rate. To prevent rectal prolapse avoid straining during your bowel movements, maintain good intestinal health, increase your daily fluid intake, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly, and live a stress-free life.

Is laparoscopic surgery safe and beneficial?

Is laparoscopic surgery safe and beneficial?

Whenever we hear the word “surgery”, we get frightened. Anyone would be, because who wants themselves to be cut open and have an everlasting ugly scar in their bodies. Thankfully, we have laparoscopic surgery as an alternative for traditional open surgery. But some people still wonder if it is a safe and beneficial option. So, today, we will explain the same in details.

In laparoscopic surgery or “keyhole surgery”, the laparoscopic surgeon make small incisions on a patient’s abdomen to insert an instrument called “laparoscopy” to diagnose and operate the damaged organ. The “laparoscope” is a tiny device with an attached camera and light at one end which send images of the patient’s abdomen to the high-quality video monitors placed inside the surgery room for the doctors to make them operate the patient with more accurate images.

It is called “minimally invasive surgery” because it only requires few cuts in the body unlike open surgeries, where the surgeon makes near about twelve-inch long incision for treating the same organ. Keyhole surgery is very convenient and safe as it causes less scars and very little blood loss as the cuts are very few and small. Even the risk of infections is low compared to open surgery. Hence, the patient recovers very quickly and has to stay only for a few days in the hospital. The scars heal quickly and the patient can return to his or her normal life hopefully in a matter of weeks.

Laparoscopy is used to diagnose and treat numerous health conditions related to gastroenterology (concerned with digestive system), gynaecology (female reproductive system), urology (deals with the urinary system). Laparoscopic procedures is used to treat appendicitis, gallstones, hernia, stomach ulcers, ovarian cysts, tumors and infections, endometriosis, infertility and removing fibroids.

During the surgery, the patient is kept under general anesthesia. The laparoscopic surgeon then fills the patient’s abdomen with carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to get more vivid images of the inside of the patient’s body and to create some working space for the procedure. Few incisions are made through which the doctor inserts the laparoscope and views the pictures on a computer screen and carries out the operation. After the surgery, the surgeon releases the carbon dioxide from the patient’s stomach and stitch the incisions and bandages them. It is normal for the patient to feel drowsy post-surgery, but it gets better in no time.

Some precautions are to be followed post-surgery to ensure much faster recovery. These include, avoid smoking, keeping the stitches covered from the sun, avoiding overexertion due to heavy lifting etc. Also the patients must eat plenty of healthy foods and fluids and take rest as much as possible. Following up with the doctor for further recovery is important too.

Thus, laparoscopic surgery is safer than outdated open surgeries as the former causes less pain and fewer scars and contains almost no risks. Keyhole-surgery is a cost-efficient option as well, as it requires shorter hospital stays and also promises fewer complications with a speedy recovery. Varanasi Hospital offers laparoscopic surgery for a wide range of illnesses.
