Laparoscopy
Laparoscopic Appendectomy
What is an appendix?
The appendix is a long narrow tube (a few inches in length) that attaches to the colon’s first part. It is usually located in the lower right quadrant of the abdominal cavity. The appendix produces a bacteria destroying protein called immunoglobulin, which help fight infection in the body. Its function, however, is not essential.
What is appendicitis?
Appendicitis is a condition in which the appendix becomes inflamed.
What is the cause of appendicitis?
In most individuals, the appendix becomes inflamed because its tissues become infected with bacteria, and pus may develop within the appendix’s lumen. Mechanical blockage of the appendix by hard stool, a foreign body, or thick mucus may also lead to bacterial infections.
What are the symptoms of appendicitis?
The main symptoms are:
Pain first starts around the umbilicus then moves to the right side of the abdomen
Nausea, vomiting
Constipation or diarrhoea
Low fever
Loss of appetite
How is it diagnosed?
The diagnosis of acute appendicitis is mainly clinical. Together with other supporting investigations like Ultrasound, CT Scan, blood tests etc.
What is the treatment of appendicitis?
Appendicitis must be treated with surgery right away; if left untreated, the appendix could rupture (burst) and cause a life-threatening or fatal infection. An appendectomy is an operation to remove the appendix. It can be open or laparoscopic.
What is a laparoscopic appendectomy?
In laparoscopic appendectomy, surgeons operate through 3 small incisions (each ¼ to ½ inch) while watching an enlarged image of the patient’s internal organs on a television monitor.
What is the advantage of laparoscopic appendectomy?
Common advantages are:
Less post-operative pain
Faster recovery
Short hospital stay
Less post-operative complications like wound infection and adhesion
Cost-effective
Better cosmetic results
What is the recovery time for an appendectomy?
Following an appendectomy, you will spend time in a surgical recovery room, followed by a day or two in the hospital. The first post-surgery meal is usually a clear liquid diet, and this can be changed to a regular diet as soon as you can tolerate it. You will be able to get back to your normal activities in one to two weeks.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
What is a gallbladder?
Your gallbladder is a small organ in your upper abdomen. It is a small pear-shaped organ that is attached to the underside of the liver.
What is the function of the gallbladder?
The gallbladder collects and stores a liquid called bile that helps your body break down food. When we eat, the gallbladder contracts and push extra bile out through the common bile duct and into the duodenum. Bile breaks the fatty material of food into tiny fragments that can be more easily absorbed by the intestine.
What are gall stones & how are they formed?
Gallstones form inside the gallbladder from substances in the bile that become solid. They can be as small as a grain of sand and as large as a golf ball. Ingestion of too much cholesterol is considered a risk factor. For women, the risk of cholesterol gallstones increases with age, use of oral contraceptive, rapid weight loss, family history of diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease (Chrohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis). A family history of gallstones also increases the risk of stone formation. Some people form stones without any known risk factors.
What are the symptoms of gallbladder problems?
The main symptoms are:
Sharp pain in your abdomen
Nausea and vomiting
Indigestion
Fever
Yellow skin – Jaundice is the medical term for skin and eyes that look yellow. You might get jaundice if gallstones block your bile duct
How is gallbladder disease diagnosed and treated?
Ultrasound is the most commonly used test to find gallstones. You will also need some blood tests done to ensure that the liver function is normal.
Gallstones do not go away on their own. Some can be temporarily treated with drugs or by making dietary adjustments, such as reducing fat intake. This treatment has a low, short-term success rate. Symptoms will eventually continue unless the gallbladder is removed.
Surgical removal of the gallbladder is the time-honoured and safest treatment of gallbladder disease.
What are the surgical treatments available?
One is conventional (open), and the other is laparoscopic (keyhole/minimally invasive).
What are the advantages of laparoscopic gallbladder surgery?
These days laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for cholecystitis or gall stone
Smaller incision – 3-4 small incisions, each less than 1cm long, instead of a 15cm incision for open surgery.
Less pain than after open surgery.
Quicker recovery than open surgery
Less post-operative complications like wound infection, adhesion, hernia, etc
Cost-effective
How is the laparoscopic operation done?
For the procedure, your surgeon makes four small incisions in your abdomen. They use these incisions to guide a tube with a small, lighted camera into your abdomen. They then guide other tools through the incisions while looking at a monitor that shows what the camera captures. Your abdomen is inflated with gas, so your surgeon has space to work. They remove your gallbladder through the incisions.
What is the recovery period?
The patient can start drinking liquids soon after coming out of the anaesthesia, which is about 4 hours after the operation. They can start eating soon thereafter. The patient can get off the bed 4 hours after the surgery and walk to the toilet to pass urine. They are usually allowed to go home the next day, can climb stairs, and the majority can get back to routine activity in 5 days and back to work in about 10 days.
When can I eat?
There are no dietary restrictions after removing the gall bladder, and you may resume a normal diet as soon as you are hungry. It may take a few days before your appetite returns. When you feel hungry, start with light, frequent meals and then increase at your own pace.
