Our Treatments
Gastrointestinal surgeries with a focus on patient well-being and quick recovery
01
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
It is a procedure in which the gallbladder is removed by laparoscopic techniques. It is a minimally invasive surgery as it is done with the assistance of a video camera and several thin instruments.
02
Whipple’s Procedure
Also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, the Whipple’s procedure involves removal of the "head", or the wide part, of the pancreas located next to the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). It also involves removal of the duodenum, a portion of the common bile duct, gallbladder, and sometimes part of the stomach.
03
Robotic GI Surgery
Robotic gastrointestinal (GI) surgery, also known as computer-assisted surgery, uses robotic systems to treat a variety of conditions of the upper gastrointestinal tract such as Hiatal Hernias and Achalasia. Its benefits include significantly less pain, blood loss, risk of infection, and faster recovery.
04
Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery includes a variety of weight loss procedures done to help people with obesity. Weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through removal of a portion of the stomach or by resecting and re-routing the small intestine to a small stomach pouch.
Ailments
Gastrointestinal surgeries with a focus on patient well-being and quick recovery
Gallstone disease
Gallstone disease, which is also known as cholelithiasis, occurs when hard deposits form in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ that plays a vital role in the digestion process. These deposits, called gallstones, can vary in size and composition. The formation of gallstones may be due to an imbalance in the chemicals present in bile, which is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
Haemorrhoids
Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus that can cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding. This common condition can result from increased pressure in the lower rectum, leading to the swelling of blood vessels. Factors such as straining during bowel movements, chronic constipation, or pregnancy can contribute to the development of haemorrhoids.
Pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is a severe and potentially fatal disease caused by the unusual growth of cells in the pancreas, a vital organ situated behind the stomach. This type of cancer usually progresses silently, and symptoms typically appear when the disease is already at an advanced stage, making early detection difficult.
Hepatobiliary cancer
Hepatobiliary cancer, encompassing tumors of the liver, bile ducts, and gallbladder, represents a diverse group of malignancies with distinct characteristics and treatment considerations. These cancers can arise from different cell types within the hepatobiliary system and may present challenges in early detection and management due to their varied symptoms and often asymptomatic nature in the early stages.
Latest Technology Utilisation
Medanta's GI Surgery department comes equipped with the latest GI Surgery equipments like:
- 3D advance laparoscopic surgery
- Da Vinci robotic surgical system
- HIPEC (Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy)
- Intraoperative endoscopy
- Intra operative USG
- Open surgery
3D advance laparoscopic surgery
3D Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery removes tumours through a procedure in which a camera is inserted through small incisions in the abdominal wall. As it moves, the image of the abdominal organs is sent from the camera to the monitor. The 3D high definition view facilitates the surgeon’s work by improving surgical precision and hand-eye coordination which makes the surgery safer. It enables faster recovery with shorter hospitalisation period, decreased blood loss and less post-operative pain.
