Why you may need general or minimal access surgery?

General surgery at SRV Hospital is typically used to treat conditions that affect the abdomen, breasts, skin, and endocrine system. Some common causes of these conditions include:

Appendicitis: Inflammation of the appendix that can cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Hernias: A condition where a portion of the intestine or other internal organ protrudes through a weak point in the muscle or fascia that holds it in place.
Gallbladder disease: Inflammation or infection of the gallbladder can cause pain, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice.
Thyroid disorders: Issues with the thyroid gland, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, can cause a variety of symptoms including weight changes, fatigue, and mood changes.

Minimal access surgery at SRV Hospital is typically used to treat conditions that can be treated with general surgery but with less invasiveness. The causes of these conditions may be the same as those for general surgery, but the approach to treatment is different.

The indications for minimal access surgery are:

In some cases, minimal access surgery at SRV Hospital in Mumbai may be used for diagnostic purposes as well, for example, in patients with symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or weight loss but no clear diagnosis.

It’s important to note that the decision to perform general or minimal access surgery is made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the individual patient’s condition, symptoms, and overall health.

At SRV Hospitals, we are dedicated to providing top-notch care to our patients.

Conditions

General surgery and minimal access surgery may be required for a wide range of conditions affecting different parts of the body. Some common examples include:

A condition where the appendix becomes inflamed and needs to be removed through surgery.

Gallstones

Hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can cause pain and discomfort, often requiring the removal of the gallbladder through surgery.

Hernias

Abdominal wall weakness that can cause a bulge or pain, requiring surgical repair.

Colorectal cancer

Cancer that can develop in the colon or rectum, often requiring surgery to remove the affected tissue.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

A chronic condition where stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, sometimes requiring surgery to improve symptoms and prevent complications.

Hiatal hernia

A condition where the upper part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest, sometimes requiring surgical repair.

Obesity

Surgery may be recommended to help people with severe obesity to lose weight and improve related health conditions.

Gynaecological conditions

Surgery may be required to treat conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or uterine fibroids.

Symptoms

The symptoms of conditions that may require general or minimal access surgery at SRV Hospital can vary depending on the specific condition. Some common symptoms of conditions that may be treated with general surgery include:

Abdominal pain
Nausea and vomiting
Jaundice
Fatigue
Weight changes
Mood changes
Swelling
Stiffness
Loss of mobility
Difficulty breathing

Symptoms of conditions that may be treated with minimal access surgery can also include the above but are typically less severe due to the less invasive nature of the procedure.

Advance Treatments with SRV Hospital

General surgery refers to a wide range of surgical procedures that involve the abdomen, chest, and other parts of the body. Some common examples of general surgery include:

Minimal access surgery, also known as laparoscopic surgery, is a surgical technique that utilises small incisions, instead of large ones, to access the inside of the body. Minimal access surgery is done with the help of a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light on the end, which is inserted through the incision. Minimal access surgery is less invasive than traditional open surgery, which means that patients usually have a shorter recovery time and less postoperative pain. Some common examples of minimal access surgery include:

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder)
Laparoscopic appendectomy (removal of the appendix)
Laparoscopic hernia repair
Laparoscopic colon resection (removal of part of the colon)
Laparoscopic gastrectomy (removal of part of the stomach)

It is important to note that not all surgeries can be performed with minimal access techniques at SRV Hospital and it depends on the individual case and patient’s health condition.
