Internal Abdomen Surgeries
This term refers to any surgery performed on any of the abdominal organs. Abdominal surgery is one of the most common and most widespread surgeries and is used to treat some conditions such as infections, obstructions, tumors or inflammatory diseases of the intestines. Abdominal surgeries include various organs such as the stomach, esophagus, and gallbladder. , small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, spleen, appendix etc.
Abdominal surgeries can be performed either by the traditional method, that is, open surgery, during which a large incision is made in the abdomen, and this method is considered a major surgical procedure, and requires a long recovery period. Recently, it has been replaced by modern techniques of laparoscopic abdominal surgery, where the doctor makes several small incisions through which he inserts thin tubes connected to the camera, and thus the surgeon can see the internal organs without the need to make large incisions, which reduces the possibility of bleeding and thus the patient recovers quickly
Over time, techniques for laparoscopic surgery develop and doctors rely more on them day by day, but until now, laparoscopic surgeries are not suitable for all cases, so the alternative is to resort to surgery in the traditional way. As for the most common abdominal surgeries, they are:
1-Cholecystectomy
It is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder as a result of stones or infections, which leads to the patient feeling severe pain and discomfort. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ located just below the liver, on the upper right side of the abdomen, and its role revolves around collecting and storing the digestive fluids that are produced in the liver, and when you get stones or any other disease problem that does not respond to treatments; The best solution is to resort to surgery, which can be done through a large surgical incision, which is not a common method currently, but it still exists, or in another way, which is a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, where the surgeon makes small incisions to insert the excision tools and a small camera to see inside the abdomen and then remove Gallbladder.
2-Repair of different types of hernias
Hernia means the occurrence of a protrusion in one of the internal parts of the body through the muscular wall or the tissues that contain it. diaphragm etc. A hernia causes a lump or bulge that can be pushed back into place, but it quickly reappears, especially when a person performs physical activity or muscle effort, or with intense laughter, coughing, crying, etc., but the appearance of this bulge is accompanied by some other symptoms, such as swelling and pain Increasing bloating with time or feeling full with signs of intestinal obstruction.
Hernias can occur for a number of reasons, including muscle weakness, aging, or stress and pressure on the affected area.
A hernia does not go away on its own; Except in cases of umbilical hernia in children, most of the hernia disappears spontaneously, but if it continues until the age of 5 years; Here, surgical intervention is necessary, just as in adult hernias, as neglecting to treat the hernia may lead to an enlargement of its size and intensify its harm and result in serious complications such as stomach obstructions or asphyxia of the hernia
Therefore, the best solution is the speed of surgical intervention to treat the hernia. This is done either through open surgery, during which the doctor makes an incision in the hernia site, then returns the protruding tissues to their normal position and sews the weak muscle wall by connecting its two ends. The surgery may be done using the endoscope and is done with the same previous steps But instead of making a large surgical incision, several small incisions are opened to insert the necessary surgical tools, and in general, each method has its advantages and disadvantages, and only the doctor can determine the best way to treat the condition.
