Bariatric Surgery and Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Inflammation of the gallbladder is known as acute cholecystitis. If left untreated, this condition can cause serious problems. Treatment is available through a procedure known as acute cholecystitis surgery. The laparoscopic procedure can alleviate symptoms with small incisions and little down time.

Acalculous cholecystitis is a disease of the gallbladder that is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality rates. Acalculous cholecystitis surgery can involve the placement of a stent between the gallbladder and the lower intestine or cholecystectomy, which is complete gallbladder removal, if the patient can tolerate surgery.

Epigastric hernias are diagnosed when organ and fatty tissue push through the abdominal wall at the same time. You may not show symptoms when this happens, and many cases go undiagnosed. Epigastric hernia surgery repairs the weakened abdominal muscles to prevent future epigastric hernias from occurring.

80% of people who experience gall stones will eventually require this procedure. Otherwise known as a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the gallbladder is removed laparoscopically, which requires small incisions and less downtime than more “open” surgeries. The procedure can alleviate discomfort.

GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) is a digestive disorder that can sometimes be treated with over-the-counter and prescription medications. In severe cases, general surgery is the recommended treatment.

Hernia surgery fixes the weakened spot in your abdominal wall where organs or fatty tissue have been allowed to protrude through. The common age of a hernia suffer is 75 to 80 years old. Hernia surgery is used to repair ventral, hiatal, and femoral hernias laparoscopically.

Being diagnosed with a hiatal hernia means your stomach has come to protrude through your upper chest area. Hiatal hernia surgery aims to restore the stomach to its former location and repair the hole in the abdominal wall. Hernia surgery is common and can alleviate symptoms including acid reflux.

An inguinal hernia is characterized by organ or fatty tissue protruding through a weakened spot in the abdominal wall. Most people form a bulge in their abdomen, especially when lifting heavy objects. Not everyone feels pain with this type of hernia. Inguinal hernia surgery can provide relief and help you avoid future recurrence.

Ventral hernia repair aims to repair a ventral hernia, which typically reveals itself as an abdominal bulge. Ventral hernias are common and are caused by organs or fatty tissue pushing through the abdominal wall. Emergency surgery is required when organs become trapped, cutting off necessary blood flow.

Varicose veins are swollen, raised veins that are commonly found on the legs, ankles, and feet.
