General surgery.
General surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on abdominal contents including esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts, and often the thyroid gland (depending on local reference patterns). They also deal with diseases involving the skin, breast, soft tissue, trauma, peripheral vascular surgery and hernias.
laparoscopic surgery.
In addition simply to looking inside, a doctor can use fine instruments which are also passed into the tummy (abdomen) through another small cut (incision) in the skin. These instruments are used to cut or trim tissues, perform sample-taking (biopsies), grasp organs, etc, inside the abdomen. This laparoscopic surgery is sometimes called 'keyhole surgery' or 'minimally invasive surgery'. Laparoscopic surgery can be used for various procedures.
Laser Kidney Stone Treatment without Surgery.
Laser kidney stone treatment has high efficiency but the number of sittings with a doctor actually depends upon the size of the stones.
Cancer Surgery.
Surgery is the removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue during an operation. A doctor who specializes in treating cancer using surgery is called a surgical oncologist. Surgery is the oldest type of cancer therapy and remains an effective treatment for many types of cancer today.
The goals of surgery vary. However, it is used for the following reasons:
To diagnose cancer
To remove all or some of a cancer or tumor
Find out where the cancer is located
Find out if the cancer has spread or is affecting the functions of other organs in the body
To restore the body's appearance or function
To relieve side effects
Thyroid Surgery.
Thyroid surgery is used to treat thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, and hyperthyroidism. During this procedure, part or all of the thyroid gland is removed.
During surgery, an incision is made in the skin. The muscle and other tissues are pulled aside to expose the thyroid gland.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy.
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. Hysterectomies are performed for a wide variety of reasons. A hysterectomy is major surgery, but with new technological advances, the discomfort, risk of infection and recovery time has all been decreased.
There are currently three surgical approaches to hysterectomies. These include:
Open, traditional hysterectomy. This involves a six to twelve inch incision made in the abdominal wall.
Vaginal Hysterectomy. This involves removing the uterus through the vagina. This approach is better than the open, traditional hysterectomy, but still does not allow the surgeon a full view of the surrounding organs, including the bladder.
Robotic-Assisted Radical Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy. Using a state-of-the art robotic platform allows the surgeon a full view of the surrounding organs and more precise control over incisions.
