As the name advocates, gallstones are shaped like stones and reside in the gallbladder. They are caused due to excess of cholesterol and bilirubin in the bile which is present in the gallbladder. Various factors play a significant part in the occurrence of gallstones. Some of them are as follows:

• Eating certain foods
• Not following a gallbladder-friendly diet
• Chronic constipation
• Gallbladder problems
• Liver diseases
• Certain chronic diseases like diabetes
• Blood disorders
• Genetics
• Excessive and abrupt weight loss by following a crash diet
• Obesity.

Today, the team of Varanasi Hospital shares with you both surgical and non-surgical treatment for gallstones. We would like to inform you that we provide surgical treatment – open and laparoscopic gallbladder stone surgery in our hospital for permanent expulsion or removal of gallstones.

1.Oral Medicines

 

Oral Medicines

Certain oral medications can be used to break down and liquify gallstones. The doctor might prescribe specific oral bile acid pills to the patient with few small-sized gallstones, cholesterol buildup stones, and for the ones who cannot undergo surgery. The only drawback of this treatment is that it takes years to dilute gallstones and is not a permanent cure as the gallstones can arise again after quitting medications.

2. ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)

 

ERCP

ERCP is also used as a treatment for gallstones. In this method, an endoscope is placed inside the mouth to free the gallbladder with gallstones. The doctors can even put a biliary stent to unblock the bile duct.

3. ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy)

 

ESWL

This is a non-surgical procedure in which shock waves are produced to rupture small gallstones. It is not suitable for people with hard and stubborn gallstones and obesity.

4. Open Gallbladder Stone Surgery

 

Open Gall Bladder Stone Surgery

In open cholecystectomy, the gall bladder is removed (either partially or completely) as a long-term solution for gallstones. It is just like any other general surgery which requires the surgeon to slit open the abdomen to perform the treatment.

5. Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery

 

Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy follows the same principle of either partial or whole removal of the gallbladder to put a stop at gallstones to reappear again. This surgical approach is recommended by expert surgeons in a majority of gallstone cases due to its colossal benefits.

If you have finally planned to opt for a gallstones treatment, you can surely come to us for proper medical guidance without any second thoughts. We provide excellent treatment to our patients and if your case allows for a laparoscopic treatment then you will be under the observation of one of the best laparoscopic surgeons, Dr. Manish Jindal.

   

Why choose winter months for any surgical treatment

The holy city of Varanasi becomes more beautiful during the months of winter. With beautiful walks to the ghats, listening to mind-soothing Ganga aartis, Varanasi people surely knows how to enjoy winter. But did you know that the cooler months can also prove to be the best time for your operation?

Although there’s no specific time for performing operations, winter season is preferred by a good number of patients for any surgical treatment and even piercings.

No Summer-related Problems

 

No Summer-related Problems

Summers in Varanasi are not so compassionate, as we have dry and humid summers, and we face strong and dry summer winds (called loo). Also, sunstrokes and heatstrokes are common summer problems faced by us.

Little To Moderate Sun Exposure

 

Little To Moderate Sun Exposure

We often get our daily dose of Vitamin D during winters because the winter sun is warm and it has fewer chances of burning our skin. Surgical wounds are more likely to heal slower during summers as overexposure to the sun rays affects the healing of wounds. Surgical scars and wound heal more quickly during winter months.

Low Temperatures

 

Low Temperatures

Winters mean colder months and as we know, low temperatures amplify the healing and recovery process post-surgery. Not everyone has access to air-conditioning system and that makes winter season an ideal time for availing a surgery.

Better Protection To The Surgical Wounds

 

Better Protection To The Surgical Wounds

In winters, we wrap our bodies with multiple layers to feel warm. This also works well for surgical incisions as less expose our surgical wounds during winters without feeling hot, thus providing better protection to the post-surgical scars.

Starting The New Year With Good Health

6 Facts That Prove Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Stone Surgery As The Best

No Recurrence Of Gall Stones

Once the gallbladder is removed, the bile produced by the liver is directly transferred to the intestines so the doctor recommends a specific diet that can be followed by patients of both laparoscopic cholecystectomies and non-surgical treatments (for example, ESWL, Oral bile acid pills, and Sphincterotomy).

Avoiding Certain Foods

Here, we have responded to some common questions asked by people associated with laparoscopic rectopexy.

Q. Why to go for a laparoscopic rectopexy and not open rectopexy?

A: Rectopexy can be executed by both open and laparoscopic procedures. However, the laparoscopic technique is highly approved by the good laparoscopic surgeons because it is a minimally-invasive surgery, and a laparoscopic surgical method has immense advantages and a high success rate than conventional open surgery. Some of the advantages of a laparoscopic rectopexy, when compared to an ordinary open rectopexy, are as follows:

  • Minimum incisions or cuts
  • Low or no blood loss
  •  Minimal chances of infection
  • Less pain
  • Zero complications
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Speedy recovery
  • Higher success rate
  • Completely safe.

So, laparoscopic rectopexy is mostly preferred and in huge demand than a typical open operation. We, at Varanasi Hospital, are well-equipped with the latest techniques and equipment required for laparoscopic rectopexy. We are proud to announce that we are one of the best laparoscopic hospitals in Varanasi.

Q. How laparoscopic rectopexy is carried out?

A: During a laparoscopic rectopexy, the patient is first given anesthesia to carry out the further procedure. Then, the surgery begins, in which the surgeon makes few small incisions in the patient’s abdomen through which a laparoscope (a thin medical instrument with a high-intensity light and a high resolution camera at its end) and other surgical tools specifically designed for laparoscopic operation are inserted to repair the prolapsed rectum.

Q. Can rectal prolapse occur again even after laparoscopic rectopexy?

A: The chances of recurrence is extremely low after laparoscopic rectopexy as the surgeons after fixing the protruding rectum make usual stitches with a surgical mesh instead. The surgical mesh ensures that the rectum does not come out of its place, thus saving the patient from a recurring prolapsed rectum.

Q. What are the precautions a patient needs to undertake after a laparoscopic rectopexy?

A: Thankfully, laparoscopic rectopexy has fewer complications than normal rectopexy. Still, some safety measures should be considered by the patient post-surgery. Some precautionary tips to follow after a laparoscopic rectum repair surgery are as follows:

  • Drink lots of water and other fluids like fruit juices, coconut water and so on
  • Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables (after the soft diet phase is over)
  • Avoid sports or any other outdoor activities
  • Don’t do heavy lifting or any other strenuous activity
  • Take plenty of rest and sleep
  • Keep your surgical incisions dry and clean to prevent infections (which is very rare) and wear loose clothing
  • Follow up with your doctor for post-surgical check-ups.

Your doctor might suggest you stool softeners post-surgery to keep constipation and reoccurring prolapsed rectum at bay.

So, we hope all your queries about laparoscopic rectopexy have been cleared. We, at Varanasi, provide laparoscopic rectopexy surgery and post-surgery care to people in Varanasi and Northern UP.
