<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Gallbladder disease<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Gallbladder stones are common in the general population. They are often accompanied by symptoms such as pain in the right upper abdomen or epigastrium, bloating, belching etc. <\/p>\nDepending on the history, imaging findings, and laboratory markers, additional imaging of the gallbladder and biliary tree with MRI may be needed.<\/p>\n
The treatment is laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder, a routine operation that requires a one-day hospital stay.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Inguinal hernia<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nGroin hernia is a common condition in which swelling occurs in the groin area. Treatment is surgical and is preferred in early stages. <\/p>\n
The options are open or laparoscopic repair. Open repair is possible under regional anesthesia (spinal) under conditions. The laparoscopic operation allows the simultaneous exploration for a contralateral inguinal hernia that is not clinically evident, and the simultaneous repair of both hernias. <\/p>\n
Both open and laparoscopic surgery are reliable. Laparoscopic surgery is generally preferable, due to its superiority over open surgery in terms of early and late postoperative pain. <\/p>\n
The operation requires a 1-day hospital stay.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nGastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach contents flow back into the esophagus. It is often due to a smaller or larger hiatal hernia; i.e., a prolapse of the stomach into the chest. <\/p>\n
The range of symptoms and signs is wide and includes:<\/p>\n
Heartburn<\/p>\n
Regurgitation<\/p>\n
Avoid lying down after a meal<\/p>\n
Weakness, often due to anemia<\/p>\n
Night or morning cough<\/p>\n
Chronic bronchitis<\/p>\n
Dysphagia<\/p>\n
Management of GERD depends on the presence of a large hiatal hernia. In this case, the guidelines recommend surgical repair. If a large hiatal hernia is not present and the patient is satisfied with chronic medication, surgery is usually not recommended. <\/p>\n
The surgery consists of the so-called laparoscopic fundoplication; i.e., release of the fundus of the stomach from its ligaments, and wrapping around the esophagus. The guidelines recommend a partial wrap of 270 degrees, which we apply, rather than a full wrap. <\/p>\n
The length of postoperative stay is 1-2 days.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Diverticulosis of the colon<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nDiverticulosis of the colon is a common condition in which pouch-like protrusions form in the wall of the colon. These protrusions can promote the growth of microorganisms, ultimately leading to inflammation in the affected section of the colon (diverticulitis). <\/p>\n
It often needs to be distinguished from colon cancer through a colonoscopy.<\/p>\n
Treatment depends on the presence and severity of inflammation, any complications associated with the condition, and the frequency of the episodes of diverticulitis.<\/p>\n
When treatment is deemed necessary, it involves the laparoscopic removal of a section of the colon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
