Laparoscopic Surgery Varanasi

learn to take care of your surgical incisions

Laparoscopic surgery has always been considered the most advantageous and fruitful over general surgery. Minimally-invasive surgeries have supplanted traditional open surgeries which required cutting open the entire patient’s body to treat minor problems. Keyhole surgery is always possible during the initial stages of any medical condition. The incisions are less, few and almost become unnoticeable in due course of time provided that the patient takes good care of them.

Today, Varanasi Hospital, one of the best hospitals in Varanasi would like to enlighten you on post-laparoscopic surgery incision care tips so that you know how you’re supposed to take care of your minor surgical wounds.

Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes

 

wearing tight-fitting clothes

Although, the wounds after minimally-invasive surgeries are next to none, they are still raw during the beginning of your post-laparoscopic surgery period. So, by wearing tight clothes you restrict the airflow to them, making it impossible for the wounds to heal. Always wear loose and comfortable clothes right after your discharge.

Do not scratch or needlessly touch your incisions

The less disturbance you cause to your surgical cuts, the more effectively and early they will recover. Keep your surgical area undisturbed by not scratching and constant touching.

Apply the ointment with freshly washed hands

If you’ve been prescribed an ointment by the medical practitioner for your surgical incisions, do apply them with clean and dry hands by cleaning the area first. Never use chemically-laden soaps for the said purpose.

Hide your incisions from the sun

The sun would not do any good to your surgical incisions but would further interfere with the wound-healing process. The rays and heat from the sun can make the surgical incisions reddish, swollen, and more prominent. Surely, you can opt for an innerwear inside your regular clothing and go outside in the sun for your activities.

Prevent any accidental injury to the area

Recovery from laparoscopic surgery is easy and way earlier than open surgery. But, that does not become a passport to be careless, so avoid falls, trauma, or any kind of pressure to the surgical cuts. Avoid running, jumping, and any sort of physical activities that can cause you injuries.

Another important factor that determines early healing of your surgical wounds is getting your keyhole surgery done from expert laparoscopic surgeons which you’ll find in Varanasi Hospital, an affordable hospital in Varanasi. So get online booking for your laparoscopic surgery from us.

laparoscopic surgery

Since we are specialists in laparoscopic surgeries, here we would like to throw some light on the laparoscopic procedures available in our hospital. Varanasi Hospital offers the following laparoscopic treatment:

1. Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery:

 

A hernia is never self-treated and during the initial stages, laparoscopic treatment becomes possible. In laparoscopic hernia surgery, a hernia is treated by making four incisions of smaller size through the abdomen and to prevent future recurrence of the hernia, the laparoscopic surgeons make stitches by using surgical mesh.

2. Laparoscopic Pancreas Surgery:

 

We offer laparoscopic surgical treatment for chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). We either remove the damaged part or the entire pancreas as per the patient’s medical requirement.

3. Laparoscopic Gall Stone Operation:

 

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is available at Varanasi Hospital. In this surgical procedure, the gallbladder is removed to avoid the recurrence of gallstones.

4. Laparoscopic Appendix Surgery:

 

In laparoscopic appendectomy, doctors remove the patient’s diseased appendix to circumvent the bursting of the appendix which is a fatal situation.

5. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy:

 

At Varanasi Hospital, laparoscopic hysterectomy is possible. Hysterectomy is the permanent removal of woman’s uterus due to medical reasons like uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, uterine prolapse, adenomyosis, and other female reproductive conditions.

We treat rectal prolapse through laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy.

appendix surgery

Appendectomy or conveniently called appendix surgery is a treatment executed to treat appendicitis by removing the appendix altogether. Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix which occurs due to clogging of fecal particles or foreign bodies. If appendicitis is not given serious consideration, it can result in dangerous scenarios like a burst appendix which infects other parts of the body. That’s the only reason why doctors prescribe appendix surgery as an optimum treatment for appendicitis. We can live without an appendix and above all, it’s always better to get rid of something which is inflamed to such an extent.

So, how appendix surgery is performed by medical surgeons? Well, there are two ways to carry out appendectomy,

– Open appendectomy
– Laparoscopic appendectomy.

Nowadays, minimally-invasive appendix surgery is being given more preference if the patient’s case permits, and if not, then open appendectomy becomes the only option. Let’s discuss in brief about the procedures of open and laparoscopic appendectomy.

Open Appendectomy:

 

Open Appendectomy

 

In this method, the surgeon makes one long incision in the lower right abdomen to remove the deceased organ. The operation is complete by making usual stitches. An open appendectomy becomes certain when the ruptured appendix transmits the infection to other body parts.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy:

 

Laparoscopic Appendectomy

 

In laparoscopic appendix surgery, the laparoscopic surgeon uses special devices like laparoscope and thin instruments to remove the appendix. The patient’s abdomen is blown up with carbon dioxide gas (CO2) for better visual convenience. Laparoscopic surgery is entirely carried out with the help of visual monitors and once the appendix is removed, the doctors close the small incisions with sutures and then the CO2 gas is deflated from the abdomen. Some of the known advantages of laparoscopic appendectomy are as follows:

• Early discharge
• A lesser degree post-operative pain
• Near to zero chances of infection
• Cosmetic satisfaction because of almost no scars
• Expeditious or quick recovery
• Early return to normal life.

The surgical technique depends on the patient’s case but post-surgery care is needed for both above-mentioned techniques to facilitate recovery. Here are some discharge guidelines the patient needs to follow at home after surgery:

1. Take better care of your stitches for open appendectomy by keeping the area dry and clean. Do not touch the wound area with uncleaned hands.

2. Rest as much as possible.

3. Never lift or try to lift any heavy object.

4. Choose loose-fitting clothes.

5. Drink a lot of water to curb constipation

6. Consume doctor-prescribed medications.

If you’re looking for a hospital in Varanasi to get appendix surgery, consider Varanasi Hospital to be the one. We are specialists in laparoscopic surgical procedures and also offer cashless hospitalization.

Do you have colon cancer and require colorectal surgery? Find here

Colon cancer or in better words, colorectal cancer, is cancer that initially occurs in the large intestine and gradually spreads to other parts if not treated on time. As evident, cancer is the abnormal and unrestrained growth of cells that becomes a tumor when clumped together and further deteriorates the functioning of the body’s immune system. The treatment suitable during the primary stages of colon cancer is colorectal surgery. However, when cancer reaches the last stages, certain treatment like the following are suggested by the medical practitioner:
– Chemotherapy
– Radiation therapy
– Immunotherapy
– Palliative care.

So, how would you find out if you have colon cancer or not? To find out, you need to check for the following symptoms:

• Constant changes in your bowel movements (diarrhea or constipation)
• Blood in the stool or dark stools
• Rectal bleeding
• Thin stools
• Abdominal pain
• A feeling of incomplete bowels or tenesmus
• Gas and bloating
• Weakness and exhaustion
• Cramps in the abdomen
• Unpredicted weight loss
• Unexplained anemia
• Iron deficiency or anemia
• Dyspnoea or shortness of breath.

In extreme cases (final stages) of colon cancer, the symptoms intensify causing trouble to the sufferer. The signs that your colon cancer is inching close to the end stages are as follows:

• Chronic headaches
• Blurry or hazy vision
• Pelvic pain
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea and vomiting
• Jaundice.

The important thing to ascertain is whether you’re at a risk of developing colon cancer or not. Let’s find out what makes someone more prone to suffer from colon cancer or simply the causes of colon cancer:

1. Overweight or obesity.
2. Old age.
3. Smoking.
4. Diabetes.
5. Overconsumption of red meat.
6. Low-fiber diet.
7. Alcohol consumption.
8. History of colon polyps (cluster of cells present in the colon).
9. Stationary or sedentary lifestyle.
10. Genetics.

Now, the question arises, how would the doctors find out if it’s colon cancer or something else? The diagnostic examination for colon cancer are as follows:

• Physical exam (by pressing on the patient’s abdomen to check for polyps)
• Blood tests (kidney and liver function tests)
• Colonoscopy
• Barium enema X-rays
• CT Scan.

laparoscopic colorectal surgery

Everything is treatable when diagnosed at an early stage. Open or laparoscopic colorectal surgery can be performed to treat colon cancer. Laparoscopic surgery is also called minimally-invasive surgery. We, at Varanasi Hospital, provide laparoscopic surgery with the help of skilled laparoscopic surgeons.

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.

Whether it’s general or laparoscopic surgery, the doctors prescribe the surgical procedure by taking certain parameters like the patient’s case history, his or her current condition, and other things into account.

Today, we are sharing with you a few reasons why you should consider cool winter months for your surgical treatment.

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

A surgical procedure is overwhelming for the patient. If you have your laparoscopic surgery done during winters, of course, you’ll heal in no time and can welcome the new year with a big smile.

Happy And Enjoyable Summer

 

Happy And Enjoyable Summer

Getting your surgery performed during the cold season is best because it will let you enjoy your summer season without any trouble. Since you have dedicated the entire winter season for your post-surgery recovery, you do not have to worry about any surgery-related issues in summers.

If you’re looking for a good hospital to get your surgical treatment, consider Varanasi Hospital as your preferred option. We specialize in laparoscopic surgeries and we have one of the best laparoscopic surgeons in our team. Till then, enjoy the upcoming months of winter.
