Reg., Medicsi 07/06/2024 Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) came about in the 1980s as a safe way to meet surgical needs. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has revolutionised the field of surgery, offering patients less pain, faster recovery times, and fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery. Since then, the use of minimally invasive surgery has spread widely in many surgical areas, including abdominal, pelvic, and lung surgery, etc. Here at Medicsi, we believe it is essential to raise public awareness about the benefits and the awareness of this remarkable approach to surgical care. What is Minimally Invasive Surgery? Minimally invasive surgery, also known as laparoscopic or keyhole surgery, involves performing operations through small incisions using specialised instruments and a camera. The camera sends live video to a monitor / TV screen in front of the surgeons, which allows them to visualise the anatomy as they perform complex surgeries with minimal trauma to the patient. This technique contrasts sharply with traditional open surgery, which requires larger incisions to access the area of concern.

This technique contrasts sharply with traditional open surgery, which requires larger incisions to access the area of concern. Key Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery Reduced Pain and Discomfort Smaller incisions mean less trauma to the body, resulting in significantly reduced postoperative pain and discomfort. This often translates to a decreased need for pain medication. Faster Recovery Times Patients undergoing MIS typically experience quicker recovery periods. They can return to their normal activities and work sooner compared to those who have had traditional open surgery. Shorter Hospital Stays The reduced trauma and faster recovery associated with MIS often lead to shorter hospital stays, allowing patients to return home sooner and lowering overall healthcare costs. Lower Risk of Complications Minimally invasive techniques are associated with a lower risk of infections and other complications. The precision of these procedures minimises damage to surrounding tissues and reduces blood loss during surgery. Smaller Scars The small incisions used in MIS result in smaller, less noticeable scars, which can be an important consideration for many patients, especially when the surgery involves visible areas of the body. Common Procedures Performed with Minimally Invasive Surgery Minimally invasive techniques are now widely used for various types of surgeries worldwide. Below-mentioned surgeries are currently being done here at Medicsi. Abdominal Surgeries Gallbladder Resection (Cholecystectomy) and Appendicectomy Hernia Repair Gastric Surgery, like Gastric bypass.

Patient Information Blogs Beyond The Bulge: Your Guide to Understanding Hernia and its Surgical Management Courtesy of: Dr. Reem Shahid; Sen. Reg., Medicsi 12/05/2024 Beyond The Bulge: Your Guide to Understanding Hernia and its Surgical Management Courtesy of: Dr. Reem Shahid; Sen. Reg., Medicsi 12/05/2024 Hernias are common medical conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. They occur when an organ or fatty tissue pops out through a weak spot or opening in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue in your body. While hernias are not usually life-threatening, they can cause discomfort and, if left untreated, lead to complications. In this blog, we will explore the types of abdominal hernias, their symptoms, and most importantly, their surgical management to help patients make informed decisions about their healthcare. Types of Abdominal Hernias: 1. Inguinal Hernia: This is the most common type of hernia, occurring when tissue, usually part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles in the groin area. 2. Femoral Hernia: Similar to inguinal hernias, femoral hernias also occur in the groin area but are more common in women. They happen when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the groin or inner thigh. 3. Umbilical Hernia: This type of hernia occurs when part of the intestine or sometimes just omentum – a fatty apron that wraps your stomach and intestine, protrudes through the abdominal muscles near the belly button. 4. Incisional Hernia: These hernias develop at the site of a previous surgical incision, where the muscles have weakened or separated.   Symptoms of Hernias: – A noticeable lump or bulge in the affected area – Pain or discomfort, especially when lifting heavy objects or straining – A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the abdomen – A burning or aching sensation at the site of the hernia – Nausea or constipation in some cases   Complications of hernias: Hernias, if left untreated or inadequately managed, can lead to various complications, ranging from mild discomfort to severe pain if it becomes strangulated & sometimes may lead to serious medical emergencies like obstruction intestine or gangrene of various abdominal organs impacted at the hernia site. Recurrence of hernia can be avoided if the patient is operated on by the right professional.    Surgical Management: Surgery is the only treatment option for hernias and is only avoided when there is a contraindication for surgery. Surgery can be performed by making a cut on the tummy or through small holes called laparoscopic hernia repair. (key hole).   Recovery and Aftercare: After hernia surgery, it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions for a smooth recovery: – Rest and avoid strenuous activities for the recommended period. – Take prescribed pain medications as directed. – Gradually increase physical activity and avoid heavy lifting for several weeks. – Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any concerns. – Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to reduce the risk of hernia recurrence.   Conclusion: Hernias are a common medical issue that can significantly impact daily life if left untreated. Fortunately, surgical options are available to repair hernias effectively and prevent complications. By understanding the types of hernias, their symptoms, and surgical management options, patients can work with their healthcare providers to make informed decisions about their treatment and achieve a successful recovery. Remember, early intervention and proper care are key to managing hernias and maintaining overall well-being. Hernias are common medical conditions that affect millions of people worldwide.

Patient Information Blogs Navigating Gall Stones Courtesy of: Dr. Adeel Jatala; Senior Reg., Medicsi 06/05/2024 Navigating Gall Stones Courtesy of: Dr. Adeel Jatala; Senior Reg., Medicsi 06/05/2024 Guide for Everyday Understanding Gallstones, those trouble-making little formations in the gallbladder, can cause significant discomfort and potential complications if left untreated. But fear not! Understanding gallstones, their symptoms, and the necessary investigations can empower you to take control of your health effectively. What Are Gallstones? Gallstones are deposits that form in the gallbladder either from cholesterol or bile salts. The gallbladder's main function is to store bile. When you eat, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of fats. Gallstones can vary in size and number from single to multiple. Causes of Gallstones: The exact cause of gallstones is not always clear, but they often develop when there is an imbalance in the substances that make up bile. Factors that can increase the risk of gallstones include: Being Overweight or Obese: Excess weight can increase the amount of cholesterol in bile, which can lead to the formation of gallstones. Rapid Weight Loss: Losing weight too quickly can also contribute to the formation of gallstones. Certain Diets: Diets high in fat and cholesterol and low in fibre can increase the risk of gallstones. Family History: If someone in your family has had gallstones, you may be more likely to develop them too. Other comorbidities: Conditions such as diabetes and liver disease can increase the risk of gallstones. Common Symptoms of Gallstones: Gallstones don't always cause symptoms, but when they do, the symptoms can be quite painful. Common symptoms of gallstones include: Sudden and Intense Pain (Biliary colic): This pain, known as gallbladder colic, typically occurs in the upper abdomen and can last for several hours. Nausea and Vomiting: Some people may experience nausea and vomiting along with the pain. Jaundice: If not treated timely a gallstone blocks the bile duct, which can lead to jaundice, a condition characterised by yellowing of the skin and eyes. Fever: In some cases, gallstones can cause inflammation of the gallbladder, leading to fever and chills. It can complicate serious conditions like pancreatitis. What are the management options for gallstones? If you're experiencing symptoms of gallstones, it's important to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis. It's very important to understand that not all gallbladder stones are operated on. If you have severe symptoms or complications, such as gallbladder inflammation or blockage of the bile ducts, there are some surgical options to remove the gallbladder. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Most preferred these days due to its advantages like less pain and a short stay in the hospital. Open cholecystectomy: Only done if the laparoscopic one is not available or possible. A discussion with your surgeon will clarify the reasons further.

It is a butterfly shaped gland in front of your neck that controls the body’s energy consumption and regulation. It controls the formation of vital structures and organ rejuvenation in the early stage of life. It exerts its function by secreting hormones in blood which act on receptors throughout the body.   What happens when it produces too little or too much of these hormones? Goitre: It is the enlargement of thyroid gland to an extent that it becomes prominent and is visible to the naked eye. Goitre is more common in females. There are certain conditions in which the thyroid gland enlarges and appears as goitre. Symptoms: Fatigue Weight gain and  sometimes weight loss (depending on type of the goitre) Dry skin Lethargy Constipation Irregularity in menstrual cycle and subfertility Panic attacks.   Way Forward: A surgeon will examine the neck and do a general examination to determine the nature of this disease. A few supportive blood tests are done which tells us about the hormone production. If there is a goitre an ultrasound can tell us about the nodularity. Any new nodule needs testing. It could be a sign of something sinister.    Weight loss despite increased appetite, voice changes, difficulty in breathing are all dangerous signs and warrant immediate evaluation by an expert!!   All goitres are not operated.

Patient Information Blogs Piles Or Haemorrhoids (Bawaseer) Courtesy of: Dr. Kainat; Surgical Resident, Medicsi 05/05/2024 Piles Or Haemorrhoids (Bawaseer) Courtesy of: Dr. Kainat; Surgical Resident, Medicsi 05/05/2024 Piles or Bawaseer is a broader term used by common man for perianal condition, haemorrhoids. What are Haemorrhoids? Haemorrhoids are inflamed and swollen collections of tissue in the anal area. They can have a range of sizes, and they may be internal or external. Internal piles are normally located between 2 and 4 centimetres (cm) above the opening of the anus, and they are the more common type. External piles occur on the outside edge of the anus. Haemorrhoids are classified into four grades: Grade I: There are small invisible swellings, usually inside the lining of the anus. Grade II:These are larger than grade I piles, but also remain inside the anus. They may come out of anus during passing stool, but they will return unaided. Grade III: Also known as prolapsed haemorrhoids, and appear outside. The individual may feel them hanging, but they can be easily pushed back. Grade IV: These are the severe forms which cannot be pushed back. They are large and remain outside of the body. SymptomsAn individual with piles may experience the following symptoms: A hard, possibly painful lump may be felt around the anus. It may contain coagulated blood. Piles that contain blood are called thrombosed external haemorrhoids. After passing a stool, a person with piles may experience the feeling that the bowels are still full. Bright red blood is visible after a bowel movement. The area around the anus may be itchy, red, and sore. Haemorrhoids usually present with painless bleeding. Pain may occur only in 4th degree when they become irreducible. Causes These may be due to: Long standing constipation Chronic diarrhoea Lifting heavy weights Pregnancy Straining when passing stool Obesity Colon cancer Spinal cord injury Lifestyle changes We will initially recommend some lifestyle changes to manage piles. Diet: A change in diet can help keep the stools regular and soft. This involves drinking more water and eating more fibre, such as fruits and vegetables, or primarily eating bran-based breakfast cereals. Body weight: Losing weight may help reduce the incidence and severity of piles.  Exercising: is one of the main therapies for piles. Medications: Several medicinal options are available to make symptoms more manageable for an individual with piles.  Over the counter medications: These are available, including painkillers, ointments, creams, and pads, and can help soothe redness and swelling around the anus. Do not use them for more than 7 days in a row. Laxatives: The doctor may prescribe laxatives if a person with piles suffers from constipation. These can help the person pass stools more easily and reduce pressure on the lower colon. Surgical options: Advanced Piles require surgical treatment.  Sclerotherapy: Medicine is injected to make the hemorrhoid shrink. The hemorrhoid eventually shrivels up. This is effective for grade II and III haemorrhoids and is an alternative to banding. Banding: Involves putting an elastic band around the base of the pile, cutting off its blood supply. After a few days, the hemorrhoid falls off. This is effective for treating all haemorrhoids of less than grade IV status. Open Hemorrhoidectomy: The excess tissue that is causing the bleeding is surgically removed. This can be done in various ways.  Haemorrhoids stapling: Blood flow is blocked to the hemorrhoid tissue. This procedure is usually less painful than hemorrhoidectomy. Hemorrhoidectomy with energy device: Is newer technique involving energy devices like Liga-Sure and Harmonic to coagulate the blood supply of hemorrhoidal vessels. Laser Hemorrhoidectomy: Is a newer technique involving Lasers to block the blood supply of haemorrhoidal vessels.
