What is the Gallbladder?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that rests beneath the right side of the liver. Its main purpose is to collect and concentrate a digestive liquid (bile) produced by the liver. Bile is released from the gallbladder after eating, aiding digestion. Bile travels through narrow tubular channels (bile ducts) into the small intestine. Removal of the gallbladder is not associated with any impairment of digestion in most people.<\/span><\/p>\n

How are Gallbladder Problems Found and Treated?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Ultrasound is most commonly used to find gallstones.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the Advantages of Performing Laparoscopic<\/a> Gallbladder Removal?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Rather than a five to seven inch incision, the operation requires only four small openings in the abdomen. Patients usually have minimal post-operative pain. Patients usually experience faster recovery than open gallbladder surgery patients. Most patients go home the same day of the surgery and enjoy a quicker return to normal activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Laparoscopic hernia repair is similar to other laparoscopic procedures. General anesthesia is given, and a small cut (incision) is made in or just below the navel. The abdomen is in\ufb02ated with air so that the surgeon can see the abdominal (belly) organs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laparoscopic Umbilical Hernia Repair<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Umbilical hernia repair surgery is a procedure that \ufb01xes umbilical hernias. An umbilical hernia is a bulge or pouch that forms in the abdomen. This type of bulge occurs when a section of the intestine pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles, near the belly button.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laparoscopic Fundoplication<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is now considered the standard surgical approach for treatment of severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).<\/span><\/p>\n

The pathophysiology of GERD is not due to acid overproduction but rather mechanical dysfunction centered around the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the mainstay of GERD treatment, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), have come under scrutiny because of worrisome side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laparoscopic magnetic sphincter augmentation of the LES has been proposed as an additional surgical option. Like Nissen fundoplication, it relies on 360\u00b0 buttressing of the LES, but it may cause fewer long-term adverse effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

In appropriately selected patients, laparoscopic reflux surgery may be more cost-effective than lifelong medical treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication may have advantages over the traditional open approach, including improved cosmesis, reduced morbidity, shorter hospital stay, decreased respiratory complications, and faster recovery.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”303″ img_size=”350×250″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Laparoscopic Varicocelectomy<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A varicocele is an abnormal enlargement of the pampiniform venous plexus in the scrotum. This plexus of veins drains the testicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Varicoceles have been associated with progressive deterioration of testicular function and testicular hypotrophy. Varicocele repair can halt or even reverse this progression.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advantages of laparoscopic varicocelectomy include: increased magnification, facilitating more accurate identification of vessels, such as spermatic collateral veins, (i.e. veins running alongside the spermatic cord and together entering the internal ring, a possible cause of recurrence if left alone), lymphatics (the ligation of which can lead to hydrocele formation) and the internal spermatic artery. Moreover, laparoscopic varicocelectomy is safe even after prior inguinal surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

The characteristic supra-inguinal access allows for high ligation of fewer veins vs a more labour-intensive subinguinal approach. In cases of bilateral varicoceles, an additional incision, with its attendant effects, is avoided.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”304″ img_size=”350×200″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Laparoscopic Nephrectomy<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A nephrectomy is a surgical procedure for the removal of a kidney or section of a kidney. Nephrectomy, or kidney removal, is performed on patients with severe kidney damage from disease, injury, or congenital conditions. These include cancer of the kidney (renal cell carcinoma); polycystic kidney disease (a disease in which cysts, or sac-like structures, displace healthy kidney tissue); and serious kidney infections.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a form of minimally invasive surgery that utilizes instruments on long, narrow rods to view, cut, and remove the kidney.<\/span><\/p>\n

The surgeon views the kidney and surrounding tissue with a flexible videoscope. The videoscope and surgical instruments are maneuvered through four small incisions in the abdomen, and carbon dioxide is pumped into the abdominal cavity to inflate it and improve visualization of the kidney.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the kidney is isolated, it is secured in a bag and pulled through a fifth incision, approximately 3 in (7.6 cm) wide, in the front of the abdominal wall below the navel. Although this surgical technique takes slightly longer than a traditional nephrectomy, preliminary studies have shown that it promotes a faster recovery time, shorter hospital stays, and less post-operative pain.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”305″ img_size=”250×250″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Laparoscopic Colon Resections<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Large bowel resection is surgery to remove all or part of your large bowel. This surgery is also called colectomy. The large bowel is also called the large intestine or colon. Removal of the entire colon and the rectum is called a proctocolectomy. Removal of all of the colon but not the rectum is called subtotal colectomy. Removal of part of the colon but not the rectum is called a partial colectomy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The large bowel connects the small intestine to the anus. Normally, stool passes through the large bowel before leaving the body through the anus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Large bowel resection is used to treat many conditions, including:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
