Emergency Surgery
Tube Thoracostomy
Tube thoracostomy, also known as chest tube insertion, is a medical procedure performed to drain air, blood, or fluid from the pleural space. It is used to treat conditions like pneumothorax, hemothorax, or pleural effusion. During the procedure, a chest tube is inserted through a small incision in the chest wall and directed into the pleural space. The tube is connected to a drainage system for the evacuation of air, blood, or fluid. Tube thoracostomy carries potential risks and complications such as infection, bleeding, or lung injury, so it should be performed by trained healthcare professionals in a sterile environment. The duration of chest tube placement depends on the underlying condition, and once the drainage decreases or stops, the tube can be removed.
Splenectomy
Splenectomy is the surgical removal of the spleen, an organ located in the upper left abdomen. It is performed to address conditions such as trauma, disease (e.g., splenomegaly, hemolytic anemias, certain cancers), or spleen artery aneurysm. The procedure can be done through open surgery or a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach. While splenectomy can provide relief, it carries potential risks and implications. These include an increased susceptibility to certain infections due to the spleen’s role in fighting bacteria. Vaccination against specific pathogens is often recommended before or after the procedure. Long-term monitoring of blood cell counts and potential complications is necessary. Lifestyle adjustments and precautions, such as antibiotics and prompt medical attention for signs of infection, may be required. The decision to perform a splenectomy is made individually, considering the patient’s condition, risks, benefits, and alternatives. Experienced surgeons should conduct the procedure in a hospital setting, ensuring appropriate postoperative care and follow-up.
A bleeding Peptic Ulcer
A bleeding peptic ulcer occurs when there is a break in the stomach or duodenal lining, leading to gastrointestinal bleeding. Symptoms include blood in vomit or stool, abdominal pain, and nausea/vomiting. Immediate medical attention is necessary, and treatment aims to control bleeding and prevent complications. Options include endoscopic therapy, medications (e.g., proton pump inhibitors), and blood transfusion. Surgery may be required in severe cases. Prevention involves addressing underlying factors like H. pylori infection, NSAID use, alcohol consumption, smoking, and stress management. Seeking prompt medical help is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
Perforated Peptic Ulcer
A perforated peptic ulcer is a serious condition where a hole or rupture forms in the wall of the stomach, duodenum, or esophagus. This requires immediate medical attention as it can lead to life-threatening complications. Common symptoms of a perforated peptic ulcer include sudden and severe abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, persistent nausea and vomiting, fever and chills, and a rapid heartbeat with low blood pressure. Treatment for a perforated peptic ulcer involves emergency surgery to repair the perforation and remove any damaged tissue. Supportive measures, such as intravenous fluids, pain management, and antibiotics, are also provided to stabilize the patient and prevent infection. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of a perforated peptic ulcer. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for a successful recovery and to prevent complications such as peritonitis, abscess formation, or sepsis.
Acute Abdomen
Acute abdomen refers to a sudden and severe abdominal pain that typically indicates a serious underlying medical condition requiring immediate medical attention. Causes include appendicitis, perforated peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, intestinal obstruction, diverticulitis, cholecystitis, ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and bowel ischemia. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve surgery, medications, or other interventions. If experiencing sudden and severe abdominal pain, seek immediate medical attention.
Trauma
Trauma refers to physical injury or damage caused by an external force. It can result from accidents, violence, sports injuries, or natural disasters. Types of trauma include blunt trauma (forceful impact), penetrating trauma (sharp object), and blast trauma (explosions). The severity of trauma can range from minor to life-threatening. Management involves assessing and stabilizing life-threatening conditions using the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) approach. Treatment may include resuscitation, diagnostic evaluation, surgery, pain management, and rehabilitation. Trauma management requires a multidisciplinary approach involving various healthcare professionals. Seek immediate medical attention for significant trauma.
Strangulated Hernia
A strangulated hernia occurs when a hernia becomes trapped and loses its blood supply. It is a medical emergency that requires immediate surgical intervention. Symptoms include severe pain, tenderness, swelling, and a visible bulge that cannot be pushed back. Nausea, vomiting, and fever may also be present. Prompt medical attention is crucial to prevent complications such as infection or tissue death. Surgical treatment involves returning the herniated tissue to its proper position and repairing the hernia defect. Recovery varies depending on the individual and may involve a hospital stay and restricted activity. Prevention includes avoiding activities that strain the abdominal muscles and addressing hernia symptoms promptly. Consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment if a strangulated hernia is suspected.

Colorectal Surgery
Colorectal surgery, also known as bowel surgery or colorectal resection, is performed to treat conditions affecting the colon and rectum, such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, rectal prolapse, and bowel obstruction. It involves procedures like colectomy, rectal resection, colostomy, ileostomy, and may be performed using minimally invasive techniques. Recovery involves a hospital stay, pain management, healing time, and possible bowel function and dietary adjustments. Risks and complications include infection, bleeding, damage to surrounding structures, and bowel leakage. Consult with your healthcare provider for specific information related to your condition.
Breast Cancer Surgery
Breast cancer surgery aims to remove the tumor or affected breast tissue. It can involve lumpectomy (partial removal), mastectomy (complete removal), and lymph node procedures. Reconstruction may be performed to restore the breast’s appearance. Recovery involves wound care, healing, and potential additional treatments like radiation or chemotherapy. It’s crucial to discuss surgical options, risks, benefits, and expected outcomes with your healthcare provider.
Axillary Dissection
Axillary dissection, also known as axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), is a surgical procedure performed to remove lymph nodes from the underarm (axillary region) as part of breast cancer treatment. It helps determine if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and guides further treatment decisions. The procedure carries potential risks and complications, such as pain, swelling, numbness, and limited shoulder mobility. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a less invasive alternative. The choice between the two procedures depends on various factors. It’s important to discuss with your healthcare provider to understand the specific approach and potential outcomes for your situation
Thyroidectomy
Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove all or part of the thyroid gland, which is located in the front of the neck and plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and hormone production. It may be recommended for conditions such as thyroid cancer, benign thyroid nodules, severe hyperthyroidism, or certain types of thyroiditis. The surgery involves making an incision in the front of the neck and carefully removing the thyroid gland, either partially or completely. After the procedure, lifelong thyroid hormone replacement medication may be required to maintain normal thyroid function. Thyroidectomy carries potential risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, damage to nearby structures, and temporary or permanent voice changes. Recovery can involve a hospital stay, pain management, and follow-up care. It’s important to discuss the procedure with your healthcare provider to understand its implications for your specific condition.
Hiatal Hernia
A hiatal hernia is a condition where a portion of the stomach pushes upward through the diaphragm and into the chest cavity. It can be categorized into two main types: sliding hiatal hernia and paraesophageal hiatal hernia. Sliding hernias are more common and occur when the gastroesophageal junction and a portion of the stomach slide up into the chest through the diaphragmatic hiatus. Paraesophageal hernias are less common and involve the stomach herniating alongside the esophagus while the gastroesophageal junction remains in its normal position. Hiatal hernias can be caused by factors such as weakened diaphragm muscles, increased abdominal pressure, or age-related changes in the diaphragm. While many people with hiatal hernias do not experience symptoms, some may have acid reflux, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, or increased belching and hiccups. Treatment for hiatal hernias depends on the severity of symptoms. Mild cases can often be managed through lifestyle changes and medications to reduce acid reflux. Lifestyle modifications may include dietary adjustments, weight loss, and avoiding post-meal lying down or bending over. In more severe cases or when complications arise, surgical intervention may be necessary. One common surgical procedure is laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, which involves wrapping a part of the stomach around the lower esophagus to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter and prevent acid reflux. If you suspect you have a hiatal hernia or are experiencing symptoms, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the abdominal muscles. It is often sought by individuals with sagging abdominal skin due to factors such as pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. During the procedure, an incision is made in the lower abdomen, excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned and sutured. Abdominoplasty is a major surgery performed under general anesthesia, and recovery time varies. It is important to have realistic expectations and consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if abdominoplasty is suitable for you.
Anorectal Surgery
Anorectal surgery refers to a range of surgical procedures performed on the anus and rectum to treat various conditions. Examples include hemorrhoidectomy for severe or recurrent hemorrhoids, fistulotomy for abnormal tunnels called fistulas, lateral internal sphincterotomy for anal fissures, transanal excision for small rectal tumors or polyps, and colorectal resection for conditions like colorectal cancer. Anorectal surgeries are performed under anesthesia, and recovery time varies depending on the procedure. It’s important to follow the surgeon’s instructions for post-operative care. If you require anorectal surgery or have related symptoms, consult with a qualified colorectal surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment options.
