This procedure is used to treat acute appendicitis – a condition that causes inflammation of the appendix. An Appendectomy is performed to resolve this problem by removing the appendix and if left untreated, it may result in a rupture of the appendix or even death.

Scar tissues develop post-surgery as part of the healing process but can also develop after an infection or a condition that causes inflammation. Adhesions that form during this period may cause abdominal or chronic pelvic pain. A lysis of adhesions is performed to combat this problem by destroying the scar tissue that causes the pain.

Incisional hernias develop after abdominal surgery and are most noticeable as a bulge near the incision site especially when the muscles are strained – while standing, coughing or lifting. This procedure involves isolating the portion of the abdominal lining that is pushing through the muscle and returns it to its proper position to repair the muscle defect.

Almost 70% of the hernias are Inguinal hernias which occur in the groin area when tissues such as part of the intestine, protrude through a weak portion in the abdominal muscles. Symptoms for this condition may include a bulge in the area on either side of the pubic bone, burning sensation in the area, pain, discomfort, weakness or pressure in the groin and occasionally pain and swelling around the testicles when the protruding intestines descend into the scrotum.

For most types of cancer, doctors will need to know how much cancers is present in a certain area to determine the best treatment options. This process is known as staging and can be achieved by the means of surgery or radiation while more advanced forms of cancer may require chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy or immunotherapy.

Abdominal cancer occurs when there is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells affecting the organs in the abdomen such as the colon, liver, pancreas, kidney and stomach.

Liver cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form in the liver due to a malformation in the bile ducts. These are generally benign, can go undiagnosed for a long time and don’t affect the function of the liver. However, if they enlarge, they do cause abdominal bloating or pain in the upper right portion of the stomach. The best approach to treating this problem is by laparoscopic liver cyst resection which involves the removal of the cysts.

Rectal prolapse occurs when the last part of the large intestine stretches and protrudes out from the anus. A rectal prolapse surgery will help put the rectum back in place.

Bowel resection involves the removal of any part of the bowel-small intestine, large intestine or rectum to treat diseases or blockages found in the colon. Feeding tubes or Jejunostomy tubes are placed through the skin of the abdomen into the midsection of the small intestine to deliver food and medicine until the patient is healthy enough to consume these on their own. These are placed usually following a bowel surgery such as bowel resection.
