Key Procedures Performed At Narayana Health

At Narayana Health, we always strive to provide the best possible medical treatment to our patient aiming to achieve the highest possible success rate.

Some of the key procedures we do:

Appendicitis

Appendicitis occurs when the lumen of your appendix is blocked. Appendicitis may be caused by various infections such as virus, bacteria, or parasites, in your digestive tract. Or it may even happen when the opening that joins your large intestine and appendix is blocked or trapped by stool. Sometimes tumors can also cause appendicitis by blockage.

The appendix then becomes sore and swollen. The blood supply to the appendix decreases as the swelling and soreness get worse. Without enough blood flow, the appendix starts to die. The appendix can burst or develop holes or tears in its walls, which allows stool, mucus, and infection to leak through and it get inside the belly. This results peritonitis, a serious infection.

The following are common symptoms of appendicitis. Your own symptoms may vary.

Pain in the abdomen is the most common symptom. This pain:

  • May start in the area around your belly button and move to the lower right-hand side of your belly. It may also start in the lower right-hand side of your belly.
  • Often gets worse as time goes on.
  • Patients may feel worning of pain while moving, taking deep breaths, being touched, and coughing or sneezing.
  • Pain may be felt all over your belly if your appendix bursts.

Other common symptoms include:

  • Upset stomach and vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fever and chills
  • Trouble having a bowel movement (constipation)
  • Loose stool (diarrhea)
  • Swollen belly

Appendicitis symptoms may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider to be sure.

Appendicitis is a surgical emergency. It is lighter likely mode of burst and cause a serious, deadly infection. For this reason, in almost all situations, your healthcare provider will advise that you have surgery to remove your appendix.

The appendix may be removed in an open procedure or using laparoscopy:

Open (traditional) surgery method-
You are given anesthesia. A cut (incision) is made in the lower right-hand side of your belly. The surgeon finds the appendix and takes it out. If the appendix has burst, a small tube (shunt) may be placed to drain out pus and other fluids in the belly. The drain will be taken out in a few days, when your surgeon feels the infection has gone away.

Laparoscopic method-

You are given anesthesia. This surgery uses several small cuts (incisions) and a camera (laparoscope) to look inside your belly. The surgical tools are placed through a few small incisions. The laparoscope is placed through another incision. A laparoscopy can often be done even if the appendix has burst.

If your appendix has not burst then your recovery from an appendectomy will only take a few days. If your appendix has burst, your recovery time will be longer and you will need antibiotic medicine.

You can live a normal life without your appendix. Changes in diet or exercise are usually not needed.

Umbilical hernia-

Umbilical hernia repair surgery is a procedure that fixes umbilical hernias. An umbilical hernia means a bulge or pouch at umbilical. This type of bulge occurs when a section of the intestine or other abdominal cavity tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall near the belly button. It can develop in young children and adults.

In fens cases, adults with umbilical hernias can develop a serious condition called strangulation of bowel. Strangulation occurs when the blood flow to the herniated tissue is suddenly cut off. This can occur in umbilical hernias that are non-reducible, or can’t be pushed back into abdominal cavity.

Symptoms of strangulation include nausea, vomiting, and severe pain. The area around the umbilical hernia might look blue, as if you have a bruise. The herniated contents could also become nonfunctional and die if they’re strangulated.

Umbilical hernias always require surgical repair. To prevent of umbilical in future.Causes pain, is larger than half an inch, is strangulated.

Umbilical hernias are fairly common among infants. The umbilical cord passes through an opening in the baby’s abdominal muscles during pregnancy. The opening usually closes right after birth. If it doesn’t close all the way, a weak spot will be layout umbilical. This makes them more susceptible to an umbilical hernia.

In infants-

When an umbilical hernia develops at birth, it may push the belly button out. Umbilical hernias in newborns will almost always heal without surgery. However, your doctor may recommend surgery if:

  • The hernia hasn’t gone away by age 3 or 4 years.
  • The hernia is causing pain or lave developed of often complications.

In adults

Umbilical hernias in adults may occur as a result of:

  • Excess fluid in the abdominal cavity
  • Previous abdominal surgery
  • Chronic peritoneal dialysis
  • They’re also common among adults who are overweight and women who were recently pregnant. Women who have had multiple pregnancies are at even greater risk for umbilical hernias.
  • Umbilical hernias in adults are less likely to go away on their own. They usually grow larger over time and often require surgical repair.

Cholecystectomy-

A cholecystectomy is surgery to remove your gallbladder.

The gallbladder is a small organ under your liver. It is on the upper right side of your belly or abdomen. The gallbladder stores a digestive juice called bile which is made in the liver.

There are 2 types of surgery to remove the gallbladder:

  • Open (traditional) method-
    In this method, a large single cut (incision) about 4 to 6 inches long is made in the upper right-hand side of your belly. The surgeon finds the gallbladder and takes it out through the incision.
  • Laparoscopic method-
    This method uses 3 to 4 very small incisions. It uses a long, thin tube called a laparoscope. The tube has a tiny video camera and surgical tools. The tube, camera and tools are put in through the incisions. The surgeon does the surgery while looking at a TV monitor. The gallbladder is removed through 1 of the incisions.
    A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is less invasive. That means it uses very small incisions in your belly. There is less bleeding and the recovery time is usually shorter than an open surgery.
    In some cases the laparoscope may show that your gallbladder is very diseased. Or it may show other problems. Then the surgeon may have to use an open surgery method to remove your gallbladder safely.

Why might I need a cholecystectomy?

A cholecystectomy may be done if your gallbladder:

  • Has lumps of solid material (gallstones)
  • Is red or swollen (inflamed), or infected (cholecystitis)
  • Is cancerous

Gallbladder problems may cause pain which:

  • Is usually on the right side or middle of your upper belly
  • May be constant or may get worse after a heavy meal
  • May sometimes feel more like fullness than pain
  • May be felt in your back and in the tip of your right shoulder blade
  • Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills.
  • The symptoms of gallbladder problems may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider to be sure.
  • Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend a cholecystectomy.

Inguinal Hernia-

An inguinal hernia may arise at any time from infancy to adulthood. However, it is far more common in males with a lifetime risk of 27% in men and 3% in women. Some individuals are born with weak abdominal muscles and are more likely to develop a hernia. Others are caused by excessive strain on the abdominal wall from heavy lifting, weight gain, coughing, or difficulty with bowel movements and urination.

Signs and Symptoms-

Symptoms of an inguinal hernia include:

  • A small bulge in one or both sides of the groin that may increase in size and disappear when lying down; in males, it can present as a swollen or enlarged scrotum
  • Discomfort or sharp pain-especially when straining, lifting, or exercising-that improves when resting
  • A feeling of weakness or pressure in the groin
  • A burning, gurgling, or aching feeling at the bulge
  • Direct inguinal hernias are caused by connective tissue degeneration of the abdominal muscles, which causes weakening of the muscles during the adult years. The hernia involves fat or the small intestine sliding through the weak muscles into the groin.
  • A direct hernia develops gradually because of continuous stress on the muscles.

Any activity or condition which increases pressure in the intra-abdominal cavity may contribute to the formation of a hernia, including:

  • Obesity
  • Heavy lifting
  • Coughing
  • Straining with urination or defecation
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Ascites
  • Peritoneal dialysis
  • Ventriculoperitoneal shunt
