⁠Robotic/ Laparoscopic surgery for GERD and Hiatus Hernia

Endoscopic anorectal surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to treat disorders of the anus and rectum, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and rectal prolapse.

What is Laparoscopic surgery for GERD and Hiatus Hernia?

Endoscopic Anorectal Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat various conditions of the anus and rectum, such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, rectal prolapse, and other anorectal disorders. The surgery involves using an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera, which allows the surgeon to visualize the affected area on a screen. This technique allows the surgeon to perform the procedure with small incisions, offering several advantages over traditional open surgery, including reduced pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.

Surgery

 

Endoscopic Anorectal Surgery is a surgical procedure used to treat conditions affecting the anorectal region, such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and rectal prolapse, through minimally invasive techniques. The surgery is performed using an endoscope, a thin tube with a light and camera, inserted into the rectum to provide clear images of the affected area on a monitor. This allows the surgeon to perform the procedure with small incisions, leading to less trauma to the surrounding tissue and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Some of the common anorectal conditions treated with Endoscopic Anorectal Surgery include:

  • Hemorrhoids: Swollen blood vessels around the anus or in the lower rectum.
  • Anal Fissures: Tears in the skin around the anus causing pain, especially during or after bowel movements.
  • Rectal Prolapse: A condition in which part of the rectum protrudes from the anus.
  • Abscesses and Fistulas: Infection or abnormal connections in the anal region.

The surgery typically results in reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. It is often performed under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on the procedure and the patient’s condition. Post-surgery, patients are usually advised to follow dietary changes, maintain proper hygiene, and avoid straining during bowel movements to promote healing
