The Gastrointestinal (GI) system plays a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health. When issues arise, they can significantly impact a person’s well-being. Gastrointestinal surgeries often become necessary to treat a variety of conditions affecting the digestive system. At Parindhevi Hospitals, we specialize in performing advanced GI surgeries with precision, ensuring that our patients receive the best care possible.
What Are Gastrointestinal Surgeries?
Gastrointestinal surgeries involve operations on the digestive tract, including the stomach, intestines, esophagus, liver, and pancreas. Surgeons typically recommend these surgeries to treat conditions such as:
1. Gallbladder Diseases:
Surgeons often perform cholecystectomies to remove the gallbladder in cases of gallstones, inflammation (cholecystitis), or other gallbladder issues. At Parindhevi Hospitals, we utilize laparoscopic techniques for faster recovery and minimal scarring.
2. Hernias:
Hernias occur when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weakened area in the abdominal wall. Our team performs hernia repair surgery to reinforce the affected area with mesh, offering both open and minimally invasive options to reduce pain and speed up recovery.
3. Colon and Rectal Cancer:
Surgery serves as a critical treatment for colorectal cancer. We perform Colectomies (removal of part or all of the colon) and Proctectomies (removal of the rectum) with advanced techniques to ensure complete removal of cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD):
When medical treatments fail, we may recommend surgery for IBD, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Procedures like ileostomy and colectomy can provide relief and improve quality of life.
5. Acid Reflux (GERD) and Hiatal Hernias:
For severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), we offer surgery as an effective solution. Surgeons perform fundoplication, wrapping the top of the stomach around the lower esophagus to strengthen the valve and reduce acid reflux.
6. Pancreatic and Liver Diseases:
Our skilled surgeons handle intricate surgeries for pancreatic tumors, liver resections, and bile duct obstructions. Parindhevi Hospitals is equipped with the latest technology to manage these complex cases.
Types of Gastrointestinal Surgeries at Parindhevi Hospitals
At Parindhevi Hospitals, we provide a wide range of gastrointestinal surgeries tailored to the specific needs of our patients. We specialize in:
1. Laparoscopic Surgery:
This minimally invasive approach involves small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon. Benefits include reduced pain, shorter recovery time, and minimal scarring. We often perform gallbladder removals, hernia repairs, and appendectomies using this technique.
2. Endoscopic Surgery:
Our endoscopic procedures utilize a flexible tube with a camera to diagnose and treat conditions without large incisions. For example, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) can remove early-stage cancer or abnormal growths in the digestive tract.
3. Colorectal Surgery:
Our colorectal surgeons perform necessary surgical interventions for colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, or severe IBD, using both open and minimally invasive techniques to ensure optimal care.
4. Bariatric Surgery:
For patients facing obesity-related health issues, we offer bariatric surgery as a lifesaving solution. Procedures like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy help patients achieve significant weight loss and improve overall health. Our multidisciplinary team, including nutritionists and psychologists, supports long-term success.
5. Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery:
We provide specialized surgical care for diseases affecting the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts. Our HPB surgeons handle complex cases such as liver resections for cancer, pancreatic cyst removals, and bile duct repairs, utilizing a multidisciplinary approach.
