Our Treatments
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Gallstones
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Gallstones
Suffering from gallstones? We offer laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive surgery performed through small keyhole incisions. This approach minimizes scarring, reduces pain, and promotes a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. During the procedure, your surgeon inserts a laparoscope, a thin lighted instrument, to visualize the gallbladder and carefully remove it.
Laparoscopic Surgery for Appendicitis
Laparoscopic Surgery for Appendicitis
Laparoscopic surgery offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional general surgery. Using a laparoscope, your surgeon can visualize the appendix, remove it if inflamed, and clean the surrounding area. This technique results in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster healing. Even in cases of a burst appendix, laparoscopic surgery can be a safe and effective option.
Hernia Repair
Hernia Repair
We offer repair for various hernias, including ventral hernias (in the abdominal wall) and inguinal hernias (in the groin area). Utilizing the latest laparoscopic techniques like IPOM plus, eTEP, and TAPP, our surgeons can repair hernias with minimal incisions, leading to faster recovery and reduced discomfort. We can also address uncommon site hernias using minimally invasive approaches.
Advanced Treatment for Hemorrhoids
Advanced Treatment for Hemorrhoids
At our Centre of Excellence in Minimal Access Surgery, we understand the discomfort associated with hemorrhoids. We offer a range of minimally invasive treatment options to address this condition:
Stapler Hemorrhoidectomy: This procedure utilizes a specialized stapling device to remove excess hemorrhoidal tissue. It's a quick and effective option for larger hemorrhoids, with minimal pain and a faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Laser Hemorrhoidectomy: This technique uses laser energy to shrink and destroy hemorrhoidal tissue. It offers a precise and bloodless approach, ideal for treating internal hemorrhoids. Laser treatment minimizes pain and promotes faster healing.
Ligasure Hemorrhoidectomy: This advanced technology utilizes a Ligasure device that seals blood vessels feeding the hemorrhoids. This approach effectively reduces hemorrhoid size and minimizes bleeding and discomfort.
Banding and Injections: These minimally invasive techniques involve placing small rubber bands around the base of hemorrhoids to cut off blood supply, causing them to shrink and eventually fall off. Injections with medication can also be used to shrink small hemorrhoids.
Hiatal Hernia Repair
Hiatal Hernia Repair
Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair is a minimally invasive procedure where your surgeon repairs the diaphragmatic opening and positions your stomach back into the abdominal cavity. This approach minimizes pain and promotes faster healing compared to traditional open surgery.
Pilonidal Sinus Treatment
Pilonidal Sinus Treatment
We offer advanced endoscopic treatment, a minimally invasive approach that utilizes a specialized scope to visualize and remove the infected tissue. This technique provides faster healing, reduced scarring, and less post-operative pain compared to traditional open surgery
Disease & Ailments
Appendix Attack
Appendix Attack
Your appendix, a small pouch in your belly, gets inflamed. This causes a sharp, sudden pain in your lower right tummy, often with nausea, vomiting, feeling off your food, and a fever. If left untreated, it can burst and cause big problems.
Gallstones
Gallstones
These are hardened bits of gunk that form in your gallbladder, a sac that stores digestive juice. If they block the flow, you might get pain in your upper right belly, especially after greasy food. You might also feel sick, puke, and have indigestion.
Body Bulge (Hernia)
Body Bulge (Hernia)
This happens when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in your muscle wall, like a hernia in your groin (groin crease) or tummy. You might see a bulge and feel pain or discomfort, especially when lifting heavy things or straining.
Stomach Squeeze (Hiatal Hernia)
Stomach Squeeze (Hiatal Hernia)
Part of your stomach pushes up through the muscle separating your chest and belly (diaphragm). This can cause heartburn, that burning feeling in your chest, along with acid reflux (sour taste in your mouth), chest pain, and trouble swallowing.
Tailbone Lump (Pilonidal Sinus)
Tailbone Lump (Pilonidal Sinus)
A pilonidal sinus is a nasty, infected pit near your tailbone, often caused by ingrown hairs. It can be painful, swollen, red, and ooze pus. Sitting down can be uncomfortable too.
Swollen Veins (Hemorrhoids)
Swollen Veins (Hemorrhoids)
Hemorrhoids are varicose veins in your rectum or anus (the opening ). They can be internal (inside) or external (around the opening). You might feel pain, bleeding when you poo, itching, and a burning feeling.
