Laparoscopic Surgery

Hernia

A hernia is the protrusion of an organ or the fascia of an organ through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. Hernias are most common in the abdomen, but they can also appear in the upper thigh, belly button, and groin areas.
Most hernias are not immediately life-threatening, but they don't go away on their own and can require surgery to prevent potentially dangerous complications. Three most common types of Hernias are listed below.
Inguinal Hernias : Inguinal henias are the most common type of a hernia. They make up about 70% of all hernias, according to the British Hernia Centre (BHC).
These hernias occur when the intestines push through a weak spot or tear in the lower abdominal wall, often in the inguinal canal. This type of a hernia is more common in men
than in women.

Umbilical hernias : Umbilical hernias can occur in children and babies under 6 months old. This happens when their intestines ulgethrough their abdominal wall near their bellybutton. You may notice a bulge in or near your child's llybutton, especially when they're crying. An umbilical hernia is the only kind that often goes away on its own, typically by the time the child is 1 year old. If a hernia has not gone away by this oint, surgery may be used to correct it.

Incisional Hernia : Incisional hernias can occur after you've had
abdominal surgery. Your intestines may push through the incision scar
or the surrounding, weakened tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions

A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It can happen in the abdomen, groin, or belly button area.

Hernia surgery can be done using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, which involves small incisions and quicker recovery.

Laparoscopic hernia surgery involves smaller incisions, less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery time compared to open surgery.

Yes, hernia surgery is generally safe, with a high success rate. However, like any surgery, it carries some risks, which your surgeon will discuss with you beforehand.

Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks for laparoscopic surgery and 4-6 weeks for open surgery, depending on the individual’s health and the surgery's complexity.

Though rare, hernias can recur if the surgical repair doesn’t fully heal or if a person engages in strenuous activities too soon. Following post-surgery care instructions is crucial.

Appendicitis

The appendix is a narrow, small, finger-shaped portion of the large intestine that generally hangs down from the lower right side of the abdomen.
Appendicitis is a sudden inflammation of the appendix. Although the appendix does not seem to serve any purpose, it can become diseased and, if untreated, can burst, causing infection and even death.
The cause of appendicitis is usually unknown. Appendicitis may occur after a viral infection in the digestive tract or when the tube connecting the large intestine and appendix is blocked or trapped by stool. It is thought that blockage of the opening of the appendix into the bowel by a hard, small stool fragment causes inflammation and infection of the appendix (appendicitis). The inflammation can cause infection, a blood clot, or rupture of the appendix.

An appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix. The infected appendix then must be surgically removed (emergency appendectomy) before a hole develops in the appendix and spreads the infection to the entire abdominal space.
Appendicitis

Frequently Asked Questions

Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, a small organ attached to the large intestine. It can cause severe pain and requires prompt surgery (appendectomy) to remove the appendix.

Appendicitis is usually treated by removing the appendix through laparoscopic surgery, which uses small incisions, or open surgery in more severe cases.

Complications are rare but can include infection, bleeding, or injury to surrounding organs. These risks will be carefully managed by your surgeon.

Laparoscopic appendectomy typically requires 1-2 weeks of recovery, while open surgery may take longer, up to 4-6 weeks.

No, once the appendix is removed, appendicitis cannot recur.

Follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, which may include limiting physical activity, taking prescribed medications, and attending follow-up appointments.

Cholecystitis

The gallbladder is an organ that is located just below the upper right abdomen. The gallbladder is responsible for concentrating and collecting digestive liquid oozed by the liver.
Also known as bile, the constituent moves via the narrow tubular channels into the small intestine.
Gallstones
Gallbladder removal is a surgery to remove the gallbladder via a single, large open incision in the abdomen. It’s also called open cholecystectomy. Doctors perform the procedure to provide permanent relief to a person with gallstones and other problems associated with the gallbladder.

The process of surgically removing the gallbladder is called cholecystectomy. With the use of advanced technology in laparoscopy today, it is possible to remove gallbladder via a tiny incision in the navel. Today LC or Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is the most preferred treatment all over the world when operating on symptomatic gallstones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cholecystitis is the inflammation of the gallbladder, often caused by gallstones. This can lead to severe pain and requires surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy).

The gallbladder may need to be removed if it is inflamed, infected, or has gallstones that cause pain or complications. The surgery helps to prevent further issues.

Gallbladder removal is most commonly done through laparoscopic surgery, involving small incisions. This method offers faster recovery and less pain than open surgery.

Most people live a normal life without a gallbladder. Your liver will still produce bile to help digest food, though you may need to adjust your diet to avoid fatty foods initially.

Yes, cholecystectomy is a common and safe procedure with a low risk of complications when performed by an experienced surgeon.

Recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks for laparoscopic surgery, with a gradual return to normal activities.

My mother was diagnosed with cellulitis and her hand was swollen and she experienced a lot of pain. Upon recommendation from our general physician, we consulted Dr. Sanjitha at Apollo Jayanagar. We had a great experience with her. At the very beginning she made my mother comfortable in the way she interacted with her. Following a very thorough examination she recommended certain exercises and medications for my mother which helped her greatly. Her swelling decreased in a week’s time and the pain has also come down significantly. Most importantly there was no surgery required. Her reassurance during this entire phase and the confidence she gave to all of us was noteworthy. Highly recommend Dr Sanjitha.

Dr. Sanjitha perfomed my surgery and treatment was done with utmost care. She explained the issue in detail to us and made us aware of the options available for treating the same. I was diagnosed with abscess with pain and feverish symptoms. She completed the surgery very professionally and took great care to ensure that there was very minor/minimal scar arising out of surgery. She personally completed every dressing session post surgery which was for about a month and very closely monitored the progress of my health and healing of the wound. I was very comfortable to approach her with my queries and seek help. I thank her for her efforts and helping me recover fast.
