Service Overview
Colon and rectal surgery
Colon and rectal surgery encompasses procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the large intestine and rectum. These surgeries range from treating colorectal cancers to managing diverticulitis and inflammatory bowel disease. Surgeons employ advanced techniques to improve outcomes and quality of life for patients undergoing these procedures.
Breast surgery
Breast surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at altering the size, shape, or appearance of breasts. Common types include augmentation with implants, reduction to alleviate discomfort, and reconstruction following mastectomy. These surgeries are often sought for cosmetic enhancement or medical reasons, impacting both physical appearance and self-confidence.
Cholecystectomy
Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, typically performed due to gallstones causing pain, infection, or other complications. It’s often conducted laparoscopically, involving small incisions for a camera and instruments. Patients usually recover quickly, though adjustments in diet may be necessary post-surgery to accommodate bile flow changes.
Thyroidectomy
Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing all or part of the thyroid gland. It is typically performed to treat thyroid cancer, large goiters causing symptoms like difficulty swallowing or breathing, or hyperthyroidism that does not respond to other treatments. The surgery requires careful management of hormone levels post-operation.
Bariatric surgery
Bariatric surgery, a procedure aimed at weight loss, alters the digestive system to help severely obese individuals achieve healthier weights. Common techniques include gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, which reduce stomach size or reroute digestion. It’s often recommended when diet and exercise alone haven’t provided sufficient weight loss results.
Peritoneal surgery
Pancreatectomy
Pancreatectomy is a surgical procedure involving the partial or complete removal of the pancreas. It is typically performed to treat pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, or trauma. The surgery aims to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life, although it can result in significant metabolic and digestive changes requiring lifelong management.
