Lap. Inguinal Hernia Repair (unilateral)
During a laparoscopic hernia repair, a surgeon makes small incisions in the abdominal wall, and the abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide. A laparoscope (a thin, tube-like instrument with a small video camera) and surgical instruments are then inserted through the incisions. While viewing a monitor, the surgeon pushes the herniated intestine back into place and repairs the hernia opening with surgical staples. Mesh is then placed over the defect to reinforce the abdominal wall. General anesthesia is used.
Lap. Inguinal Hernia Repair (bilateral)
Inguinal Hernias occur on both sides ('Bilateral') in about 8-10% of patients.
Umbilical hernia repair
Umbilical hernia repair is surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. An umbilical hernia is a sac (pouch) formed from the inner lining of your belly (abdominal cavity) that pushes through a hole in the abdominal wall at the belly button.
Lipoma removal
Lipoma removal through surgery is a pretty simple procedure. Lipoma surgery is done on an outpatient basis, that is, the patient does not need to stay overnight. The first step for surgical lipoma removal procedure is to inject a local anesthetic. Then a small incision is made on the skin and the tissue is removed. The wound is then stitched back. The whole procedure does not take more than 20 minutes. The patient is usually allowed to go after 90 minutes. However, in some rare circumstances general anesthesia may be used.
Gall Bladder Removal
Your doctor may recommend gallbladder removal surgery if you have gallstones or your gallbladder is not functioning normally (biliary dyskinesia).
You may have some or all of these symptoms:
- Pain after eating, usually in the upper right or upper middle area of your belly (epigastric pain)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Indigestion
- Infection (cholecystitis)
The most common way to remove the gallbladder is by using a medical instrument called a laparoscope.
