Gallbladder Surgery : Removing Gallstones


The  gallbladderis a small, pear-shaped sac on the underside of the liver, on the right side of the abdomen that holds approximately one half cup of yellowish-green fluid called bile. The liver produces liquid bile and it then moves it into the gallbladder where it becomes 4-12 times more concentrated than it was in the liver.

  • Gallbladder problems are usually caused by the presence of gallstones: small hard masses consisting primarily of cholesterol and bile salts that form in the gallbladder or in the bile duct

  •  
  • It is uncertain why some people form gallstones.
  • There is no known means to prevent gallstones.
  • These stones may block the flow of bile out of the gallbladder, causing it to swell and resulting in sharp abdominal pain, vomiting, indigestion and, occasionally, fever.
  • If the gallstone blocks the common bile duct, jaundice (a yellowing of the skin) can occur.

There are two main ways of removing a gallbladder.

This is the most common type of operation to remove your gallbladder. It involves using a tiny camera and surgical instruments that are inserted through small cuts (incisions) in your abdomen.


In open cholecystectomy the gallbladder is removed through one large incision in your abdomen. This technique is called open surgery. It is a more invasive operation than keyhole surgery. You need to be in hospital for longer and it takes longer to recover.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF PERFORMING THE PROCEDURE LAPAROSCOPICALLY?
  • Rather than a five to seven inch incision, the operation requires only four small openings in the abdomen.
  • Patients usually have minimal post-operative pain.
  • Patients usually experience faster recovery than open gallbladder surgery patients.
  • Most patients go home within one day and enjoy a quicker return to normal activities.
Costof gallbladder removal surgery in India is less than other western countries. Valli Hospital, Erode provides advanced gallbladder surgery at affordable rate. Dr. T. K Swamy is well experinced gastroenterologist in India, at Valli, Erode.

Bariatric Surgery : Best Way to Reduce weight


These days, the problem of obesity is increasing with each passing day. This is mainly due to the nature of work, which hardly allows any space for physical exercise.


Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective weight loss surgery that can provide long lasting weight loss for those who have been diagnosed as morbidly obese. This procedure is successful because it makes your stomach smaller, which means that you will require less food to feel full. After the surgery has been successfully completed you will also experience fewer cravings, which will cause you to want to eat less and you will be able to successfully maintain the weight loss.

 
  • Gastric Bypass Surgery
    This procedure seperates the stomach into two unequal compartments with less than 5% of the stomach remaining usable for food consumption. During digestion, the food empties from this tiny stomach pouch into the upper intestine.
  • LAP-BAND Surgery
    An inflatable band is placed around the upper part of the stomach which divides it into two unequal parts. The upper part acts as the new stomach, restricting food intake and promoting weight loss.
  • Gastric Sleeve
    Sleeve gastrectomy is a procedure in which about 85% of the stomach is removed, leaving 15% of the original capacity, which is shaped like a sleeve.
  • Biliopancreatic Diversion
    BPD creates a smaller stomach (similar to gastric bypass surgery), but in addition there is less absorption of ingested food inside the intestine.
