Gastrectomy: 

Gastrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the stomach, treating conditions like stomach cancer, severe ulcers, or bleeding. Types include partial, total, and sleeve gastrectomy. The procedure involves reshaping or connecting the remaining stomach to the intestines to maintain digestion. Post-surgery, dietary adjustments and monitoring are essential to manage nutrient absorption and prevent complications like dumping syndrome.

Appendectomy:

Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix, typically performed to treat appendicitis—an inflammation that can lead to rupture and serious infection. It can be done via open surgery or laparoscopically, with the latter offering faster recovery and less scarring. Prompt removal prevents complications like peritonitis. Most patients recover quickly with minimal impact on digestion, as the appendix has no vital function.

Endoscopic:

Endoscopic procedures use a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to diagnose and treat conditions inside the body without large incisions. Common in gastroenterology, it helps examine the digestive tract, remove polyps, treat bleeding, or take biopsies. Techniques like ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound allow precise interventions. Minimally invasive, endoscopy offers faster recovery, less pain, and reduced surgical risks for patients.

Nissen:

Nissen fundoplication is a surgical procedure to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach (fundus) around the lower esophagus to strengthen the valve, prevent acid reflux, and stop hiatal hernia symptoms. Performed laparoscopically, it offers faster recovery and effective long-term relief from heartburn and regurgitation, improving patients' quality of life.

⁠Gastric Bypass Surgery:

Gastric bypass surgery, a type of bariatric procedure, treats severe obesity and related conditions by creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to this pouch. This limits food intake and reduces calorie absorption, promoting significant weight loss. Performed laparoscopically, it also helps resolve diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Lifelong dietary adjustments and supplements are essential for maintaining health post-surgery.

Cholecystectomy:

Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, usually performed to treat gallstones causing pain, infection, or inflammation (cholecystitis). It’s commonly done laparoscopically, involving small incisions for faster recovery and less pain. Without a gallbladder, bile flows directly from the liver to the small intestine, allowing normal digestion with minor dietary adjustments if needed.

Colectomy:

Colectomy is the surgical removal of part or all of the colon, used to treat conditions like colon cancer, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or blockages. Types include partial, total, and proctocolectomy, depending on the extent of disease. The procedure may involve creating a stoma for waste removal if reconnection isn’t possible. Minimally invasive techniques, like laparoscopy, offer quicker recovery and reduced complications.

⁠Hernia Repair:

Hernia repair is a surgical procedure to fix hernias, where organs or tissues bulge through weak spots in the muscle wall. Techniques include open surgery and minimally invasive laparoscopy, often using mesh to reinforce the area and prevent recurrence. Common hernia types treated are inguinal, umbilical, and hiatal. The goal is to relieve pain, restore function, and prevent complications like strangulation or bowel obstruction.
