http://www.artemishospital.in/bariatric-minimally-invasive-surgery-india.php Minimal Invasive Surgery has revolutionized the way surgeries are performed conventionally. In this technique, surgeons use a small telescope to see a magnified view of the area to be operated on screen and through another small puncture introduce special instruments to perform the final surgery. Artemis Institute for one of the best Bariatric and Minimally Invasive Surgery centre specializing in this form of surgery. The centre is well equipped to facilitate all forms of minimally invasive surgeries, ranging from Gastric Bypass weight loss surgery, Lap Band surgery india, Gallstones surgery,Hernia Repair, Appendix, gastro intestinal, orthopaedic and urological surgeries.

Surgeons often perform a thyroidectomy when a patient has thyroid cancer or some other condition of the thyroid gland (such as hyperthyroidism). Other indications for surgery include cosmetic (very enlarged thyroid), or symptomatic obstruction (causing difficulties in swallowing or breathing). A thyroidectomy is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes several hours. A small incision is made in the front of the neck, and all or part of the thyroid gland is removed, depending on the reason for the surgery. After a thyroidectomy, the patient may experience temporary neck pain and a hoarse or weak voice. But the long-term effects depend on how much of the thyroid is removed.

Laparoscopic GI surgery includes operations within the abdominal or pelvic cavities.

A tubal ligation can be done in many forms; through a vaginal approach, through laparoscopy, a minilaparotomy, or through regular laparotomy. Also, a distinction is made between postpartum tubal ligation and interval tubal ligation, the latter not being done after a recent delivery.

An appendicectomy is performed because of probable appendicitis, inflammation of the wall of the appendix generally associated with infection. This procedure is normally performed as an emergency procedure, when the patient is suffering from acute appendicitis. In the absence of surgical facilities, intravenous antibiotics are used to delay or avoid the onset of sepsis.

In cholelithiasis, gallstones of varying shapes and sizes form from the solid components of bile. The presence of stones, often referred to as gallbladder disease, may produce symptoms of excruciating right upper abdominal pain radiating to the right shoulder. The gallbladder may become the site of acute infection and inflammation, resulting in symptoms of upper right abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. This condition is referred to as cholecystitis. The surgical removal of the gallbladder can provide relief of these symptoms.

A special variant of colectomy is total colectomy, which is also called proctocolectomy. This is most commonly a treatment considered for people with ulcerative colitis, either because of failure to respond to treatment or because of the cancer risk associated with the disease. In a colectomy, the bowel is either reconnected afterward (which is called an anastomosis) or the surgeon creates an ostomy, an opening of the bowel on the abdominal wall, to allow the contents of the bowel to exit from the body.

A polyp can be defined as lining of mucosa which projects out in a mushroom shape. They are commonly found in the colon and are mostly benign but have the potential to become malignant. A colon polyp can be checked and diagnosed in the four ways. It can be checked through a digital rectal exam. In this procedure, the rectum is checked to see if it feels normal. This test can find polyps only in the rectum.

A colonoscopy may provide a visual diagnosis (e.g. ulceration, polyps) and grants the opportunity for biopsy or removal of the suspected lesions.

Once the diseased part of the colon is healed or removed, the colon can start functioning normally provided that the part of the colon that opened into the outside of the stomach to pass intestinal waste is joined back with the remaining part of the colon. Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:31:43 GMT Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:31:43 GMT http://www.artemishospital.in/colostomy-closure-hospital.php A colostomy is a surgical procedure that involves connecting a part of the colon onto the anterior abdominal wall, leaving the patient with an opening on the abdomen called a stoma. In a colostomy, the stoma is formed from the end of the large intestine, which is drawn out through the incision and sutured to the skin. After a colostomy, faeces leave the patient's body through the abdomen. A colostomy may be performed for many reasons. A colostomy may be needed to divert the contents of the intestine in case of an inflammatory disease of the bowel. If the muscles that control bowel movements (sphincter muscles) are removed during surgery, you will be unable to control your bowels. In such a case, a colostomy becomes necessary so that the bowel contents can pass into a colostomy bag.

A gall bladder removal surgery is performed to treat cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. In cholelithiasis, gallstones of varying shapes and sizes form from the solid components of bile.

It is performed by using a thin, flexible fibre-optic instrument that is passed through the mouth and allows the doctor to see whether there is any damage to the lining of the oesophagus (gullet) or stomach, and whether there are any ulcers in the stomach or duodenum.

This is because with age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. A brachioplasty is performed to reduce excess sagging skin that droops downward, tighten and smooth the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm, reduce localized pockets of fat in the upper arm regio Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:31:43 GMT Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:31:43 GMT http://www.artemishospital.in/gastric-banding-surgery.php Gastric Banding is a bariatiric surgical procedure designed for obese patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater-or between 35-40 in cases of patients with certain comorbidities that are known to improve with weight loss, such as sleep apnea, diabetes, osteoarthritis, or metabolic syndrome, among others. Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:31:43 GMT Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:31:43 GMT http://www.artemishospital.in/lap-band-gastric-bypass.php astric bypass procedures (GBP) are any of a group of similar operations used to treat morbid obesity-the severe accumulation of excess weight as fatty tissue-and the health problems (comorbidities) it causes. A gastric bypass first divides the stomach into a small upper pouch and a much larger, lower "remnant" pouch and then re-arranges the small intestine to allow both pouches to stay connected to it. Surgeons have developed several different ways to reconnect the intestine, thus leading to several different Gastric bypass procedures.

They may vary in number and size. Gallstones can block the normal flow of bile if they get collected in any of the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. colonoscopy. Bile is a liquid produced by the liver which helps the body to digest fat. fiile is made in the liver, and then stored in the gallbladder until the body needs to digest fat. During that time, the gallbladder contracts and pushes the bile into a tube called the Common Bile Duct (CBD) that carries it to the smali intestine, where it helps with digestion.
