Advantages of Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery for Gastrointestinal Procedures

Laparoscopic and robotic methods, which prioritize patient comfort and surgical accuracy, are revolutionizing gastrointestinal surgeries. Some of the main benefits of these surgeries include:

• Reduced Trauma and Minimal Pain: Both procedures use small incisions, which minimize tissue trauma and postoperative pain. Shorter Hospitalization: Patients typically have shorter hospitalizations and quicker recovery times.
• Faster Recovery: Patients can do their normal activities again faster than with open surgery.
• Better Cosmesis: Scars are smaller and less noticeable.
• Enhanced 3D Visualization: Surgeons benefit from magnified, high-definition views for superior clarity, thereby giving superior treatments for the patients.
• Greater Dexterity (Robotic): Robotic arms can rotate 360 degrees and are easier to move around for detailed work.
• Less Blood Loss: Accurate tools minimize the bleeding during the surgeries, which means fewer blood transfusions are needed.
• Reduced Infection Risk: Less invasive treatments provide the benefit of fewer infections at the surgical site due to quicker healing from the stitches.

Advanced Technology and Facilities for Gastro Surgery at CARE Hospitals

Care Hospitals has the up-to-date technology and facilities for gastro surgery. Advanced surgical gastroenterology units utilize latest tools that lead to improved outcomes in a partnered way. At CARE, we have:

• Dedicated Hybrid Operating Theatres: The high-tech operating rooms are optimized for minimally invasive and advanced imaging techniques. State-of-the-art facilities with surgical navigation systems allows real-time monitoring to optimize procedures.
• Intraoperative Ultrasounds: Our surgeons utilize intraoperative ultrasound technology to map out tumors and blood vessels during the surgery in a real-time manner, which eventually makes the whole process of resection safer and more precise.
• Endoscopic Capability: High-definition endoscopies, along with state-of-the-art imaging methods, are being utilized for precisely diagnosing and performing therapeutic procedures such as ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound.
• Robotic Surgery: The most advanced robotic-assisted systems are being used by us for complex surgeries, which ensure unrivaled precision and outcomes.
• Minimally Invasive Techniques: Besides hernia repairs, we are also using advanced laparoscopic and other minimally invasive techniques for carrying out colorectal surgeries with the highest precision.
• Fluorescence Imaging (ICG): The fluorescent imaging technique involves injecting a dye to highlight the blood flow and lymph nodes, which helps the surgeon to remove the cancer more extensively.
• Advanced Energy Devices: Our offerings include high-tech devices for the cutting and sealing of tissue exactly. These devices not only improve surgical efficiency but also lower the risk of thermal injuries considerably.
• Multidisciplinary Tumor Board: Each complicated cancer case is evaluated by a group of experts (medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, and surgeon) to create the most comprehensive treatment plan possible.
• Surgical Ergonomics: Robotic systems allow the surgeon to operate from a comfortable console, which improves ergonomics for potentially less fatigue for longer and more complicated cases.
• Comprehensive Postoperative Service: Dedicated departments established for individualized recovery, and ensuring the best care and comfort for each of our patients while in rehabilitation.

What are the specific surgical gastroenterology procedures performed?

Surgical gastroenterology is an extensive category of surgical procedures performed in order to diagnose and treat a variety of disorders affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Specific surgical procedures performed by our surgical gastroenterologists include:

• Esophagus and Stomach
  • Fundoplication: Fundoplication is the procedure mainly aimed at treating significant acid reflux (GERD) whereby the upper part of the stomach is wrapped over the lower esophagus to help tighten the valve.
  • Esophagectomy: This is the surgical procedure indicated to remove a part or all of the esophagus that is usually used for esophageal cancer or significant damage to the esophagus.
  • Gastrectomy: This is the partial or complete removal of the stomach that is typically performed for stomach cancer or complicated ulcer disease.
  • Bariatric surgery: Bariatric surgeries, also known as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, are intended to modify the stomach and small intestine to assist morbidly obese patients with weight loss.
• Liver, Pancreas, and Biliary System
  • Liver resection (hepatectomy): Removal of a diseased liver segment, which is most often done to remove tumors, benign or cancerous.
  • Liver Transplantation: A significant intervention where a patient's failing liver is exchanged for a healthy organ from a donor.
  • Whipple Procedure (Pancreatectomy): A complicated procedure to excise the head of the pancreas, duodenum, gallbladder, and some of the bile duct, typically indicated for pancreatic head cancer.
  • Distal Pancreatectomy: Procedure for removal of the tail and body of the pancreas, typically performed for cysts or tumors in that region.
  • Cholecystectomy: Surgical removal of the gallbladder; the standard of care for treating painful gallstones (cholelithiasis) and chronic inflammation.
  • Bile Duct Surgery: Various procedures that involve the resection of obstruction or tumors (cholangiocarcinoma) in the bile duct; may include reconstructive or bypass work.
  • Pancreas Drainage Procedures (i.e., Puestow): Surgical procedure where a connection can be made from the pancreatic duct to the intestines to relieve pain that is a result of chronic pancreatitis where the duct is constantly blocked. 
  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A minimally invasive technique that uses heat generated by a radiofrequency current to destroy small, localized liver tumors without traditional cutting.
• Small Intestine and Colon (Large Intestine)
  • Small Bowel Resection: Surgical removal of a portion of the small intestine to treat conditions like Crohn's disease, tumors, or intestinal blockages.
  • Colectomy: The removal of a part or the entire colon (large intestine), necessary for severe colitis, diverticulitis, or colorectal cancer.
  • Proctectomy: The surgical removal of the rectum, usually performed in conjunction with a colectomy for rectal cancer or severe inflammatory diseases.
  • Pouch Surgery (J-Pouch): A procedure following a total colectomy where a small intestine pouch is created to function as a new rectum, avoiding a permanent ostomy bag.
• Abdominal Wall and Perianal Area
  • Hernia Repair: Surgical correction of a defect in the abdominal wall (e.g., inguinal, ventral, hiatal) where internal organs or tissue bulge out.
  • Appendectomy: This refers to a procedure in which the appendix is removed, the standard procedure for the condition known as acute appendicitis.
  • Splenectomy: This is a procedure in which the spleen is surgically removed. It may be performed for some conditions, such as blood disorders and trauma, or as part of complete cancer surgery.
  • Cytoreduction & HIPEC: This is a procedure for abdominal cancer that has two parts. The first part, cytoreduction, requires surgical removal of all visible tumor implants. The second part, HIPEC, involves washing the abdominal cavity with heated chemotherapy while the patient is still asleep.
  • Hemorrhoidectomy: This surgery removes swollen, painful veins (hemorrhoids) in the anus or rectum for pain relief.
  • Fistulotomy/Fistulectomy: These procedures are to treat anal fistulas, which are abnormal tunnels connecting the anal canal to the skin.
  • Fissure Excision: This surgery is to treat small painful tears in the lining of the anal canal that have failed to heal with non-operative measures.
  • Pilonidal Excision: This surgery is to remove an infected cyst or abscess from the area located near the tailbone (pilonidal disease).
  • Rectopexy: This procedure repositions the rectum surgically for treatment of a rectal prolapse (when the rectum telescopes out of the body).
