Solutions in Oesophagectomy Gastrectomy and Colectomies in Mukundapur

Oesophagectomy is a surgical procedure in which the entire or a portion of the oesophagus (the tube that connects your mouth and stomach) is removed. The stomach is typically used to rebuild the oesophagus. The stage and location of your cancer determine the kind of Oesophagectomy you will need.

  • Oesophagectomy: Your surgeon removes the oesophagus entirely or in part.

  • Oesophagus-gastrectomy: Your surgeon removes the upper portion of your stomach along with the cancerous portion of your oesophagus.

Gastrectomy

Gastrectomy is a surgery performed to remove a part or complete stomach to treat stomach cancer. There are several Gastrectomy types.

  • Subtotal Gastrectomy: involves removing the cancerous portion of your stomach, surrounding lymph nodes, and sometimes even portions of other organs close to the tumour. 

  • Total Gastrectomy: involves removing the whole stomach, surrounding lymph nodes, and sections of the small intestine and oesophagus.

Colectomy

A Colectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of your colon (part of the intestine). It could be required to cure or avoid illnesses and ailments that impact your colon.

FAQ's

Primary Treatment for Esophageal Cancer: Removes the cancerous tissue or alleviates symptoms.

The types of Oesophagectomy procedures available are:

  • Open Oesophagectomy: The surgeon removes part or all of the oesophagus via an incision in the neck, chest, or abdomen, replacing it with the stomach or occasionally the small or large intestine.

  • Minimally Invasive Oesophagectomy: Performed using laparoscopy, robot assistance, or a combination. Utilises small incisions, leading to less pain and a faster recovery compared to conventional surgery.

Depending on the stage and location of the malignancy, removing all or most of the oesophagus, a piece of the upper stomach, and adjacent lymph nodes is planned in the Oesophagectomy procedure.

Large incisions are made in the neck, chest, or abdomen during an Open Oesophagectomy. Transthoracic or transhiatal techniques are among the options. While transhiatal employs incisions in the neck and abdomen, transthoracic uses incisions in the chest and abdomen. Incisions in the belly, chest, and neck are seldom necessary for a three-field Oesophagectomy. In recent years, laparoscopic approaches for oesophagus removal have gained prominence.

Minimally Invasive Oesophagectomy is a procedure in which the oesophagus is removed by making many tiny laparoscopic or thoracoscopic incisions in the chest or belly. To see through the incisions and complete the procedure without severing any muscles or breaking any ribs, the surgeon performs laparoscopic surgery by inserting equipment and a camera-tipped device. This process may be aided by a robot in certain facilities.

  • Stomach Cancer: Aiming to eradicate or lessen cancer symptoms, it might be either palliative or curative.

  • Benign Stomach Tumours: Tumours that are symptomatic or may develop into malignancies may require removal.

  • Gastritis: Surgery may be necessary for situations of severe inflammation that do not respond to treatment.

  • Peptic Ulcer Disease: Damage to the stomach lining caused by ulcers is treated surgically.

  • Obesity: When treating health problems associated with obesity, a Partial Gastrectomy is advised as bariatric surgery.

  • Injuries: Excision of severely injured stomach tissue.

Anaesthesia administration is the first step, followed by catheter placement. A urinary catheter drains urine from the bladder, while a nasogastric tube suctions stomach contents and facilitates medication and nutrient administration.

Through open surgery or laparoscopy, involving either a single large incision or several small cuts, respectively, the damaged part of the stomach is removed. Lymph nodes may also be removed in cases of stomach cancer. The remaining organs are attached to ensure the continuity of the digestive system. A feeding tube may be inserted directly into the stomach or small intestine to aid eating during recovery, and the incision is sutured.

There are several kinds of Colectomy procedures:

  • A Total Colectomy is the complete removal of the colon.

  • Partial Colectomy is the removal of a portion of the colon.

  • A Hemicolectomy entails removing the colon's left or right section.

  • A Proctocolectomy entails the removal of the rectum and colon.

Colectomy is used to treat a range of disorders linked to the colon:

  • Uncontrollable bleeding from the colon.

  • Emergency bowel blockage.

  • Early to advanced stages of colon cancer are distinguished.

  • Crohn's disease or identify precancerous abnormalities.

  • Ulcerative colitis is not managed by medications.

  • Recurrent diverticulitis or complications.

  • Preventive strategy for those who have a high chance of developing colon cancer, such as those who have a genetic predisposition such as Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis, or who have many precancerous polyps.

Open Colectomy is a procedure carried out by placing a larger abdominal incision. Using surgical instruments, your surgeon removes either a part or the entire colon by cutting it away from the surrounding tissue.

A Laparoscopic Colectomy, also known as a Minimally Invasive Colectomy, requires many tiny abdominal incisions. One incision is made to insert a tiny video camera, and the other incisions are required to insert sophisticated surgical instruments.

While the instruments are being used to remove the colon from the surrounding tissue, the surgeon in the operating room is watching a video screen. The colon is then removed from your body via a tiny abdominal incision. This enables the colon surgeon to do surgery outside of your body.
