USA Patient’s Experience about Hernia Surgery Delhi India

Carol Mitchell a USA patient describes about her Hernia Surgery and her stay in Delhi India.

” Carol Mitchell who came to India for the Hernia Surgery in Delhi. She is a resident of United Kingdom. She was treated by the team of Centre for Hernia Support. I am so thankful to have planned my hernia surgery with Dheeraj Bojwani and Indian Health Guru Consultants. Infact I was a bit hesitant initially to travel to India for this and I asked so many questions to Dheeraj. But he was always there for me, answering all my queries and helping me every time. He came to meet me at the Hospital and checked out all the services being provided to me. I was very overwhelmed from the long flight when I reached India, but gradually as things settled down I knew this was the righteous decision. The people I have been treated by, the nursing staff, the domestic staff, everybody without exception has been delightful and I am very conscious of their efforts to make my stay a happy one.   My outcome was wonderful and much better than my best expectation. When I return to the USA, when I have the opportunity, I will recommend Indian Health Guru Consultants to everyone seeking Hernia surgery in India.

Travel to India for your Laparoscopic Gall Bladder surgery

What is the Gall Bladder?

The Gall Bladder is a pear-shaped sac that rests beneath the right side of the liver. Its main purpose it to collect and concentrate a digestive agent (bile) produced by the liver. Bile is released from the Gall Bladder and travels through the cystic and common bile ducts (narrow tubular channels) to the small intestine. 

The Laparoscopic Gall Bladder removal surgery is usually done to treat the following conditions:

• Gall Bladder disease
  • Gallstones
  • Infection or inflammation (cholecystitis)
  • Gall Bladder cancer
• Biliary dyskinesia (abnormal Gall Bladder function)

What preparation is required in Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Surgery?

The following includes typical events that may occur prior to laparoscopic surgery; however, since each patient and surgeon is unique, what will actually occur may be different:

 ·    Preoperative preparation includes blood work, medical evaluation, chest x-ray and an EKG depending on your age and medical condition.

·    After the surgeon reviews with the potential risks and benefits of the operation, patient will need to provide written consent for surgery.

·    Surgeon may request that patient should completely empty his colon and cleanse his intestines prior to surgery. Patient may be requested to drink clear liquids, only, for one or several days prior to surgery.

·    It is recommended that to shower the night before or morning of the operation.

·    After midnight the night before the operation, patient should not eat or drink anything except medications that surgeon has told which are permissible to take with a sip of water the morning of surgery.

·    Drugs such as aspirin, blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medications (arthritis medications) and Vitamin E will need to be stopped temporarily for several days to a week prior to surgery.

·    Diet medication should not be used for the two weeks prior to surgery.

How well does Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Surgery Work:

 Laparoscopic Gall Bladder surgery is safe and effective. Surgery gets rid of gallstones located in the Gall Bladder. It does not remove stones in the common bile duct. Gallstones can form in the common bile duct years after the Gall Bladder is removed, although this is not common.

 Who is the candiddate for Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Surgery:

Since the advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, this procedure has become the gold-standard for Gall Bladder removal. Most patients with symptomatic gallstones are candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, if they are able to tolerate general anesthesia and have no serious cardiopulmonary diseases or other coexisting conditions that preclude operation.

Some patients with very serious complications from Gall Bladder disease may not be eligible for laparoscopic Gall Bladder removal. In addition, patients in the third trimester of pregnancy should not usually undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy, because of risk of damage to the uterus during the procedure.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the first trimester of pregnancy remains controversial because of the unknown effects of carbon dioxide on the developing fetus.

Who shouldn’t have Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Surgery?

If a person had surgery around his Gall Bladder before, if he tend to bleed a lot, or if he has any problem that would make it hard for doctor to see his Gall Bladder, an open surgery may be better for him. Doctor will decide which type of surgery is appropriate

The Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Surgery Procedure

Gall Bladder removal surgery is called for when gallstones have formed, blocking the flow of bile and leading to attacks that can cause severe pain and discomfort. With the invention of the laparoscopic procedure, the surgery can now be performed through several small openings, can be completed in one to three hours, and has a much shorter recovery time. During a laparoscopic Gall Bladder surgery, a tube carrying a video camera is inserted through an incision in the navel. The surgery is then performed under the guidance of this camera. Tiny instruments are used to cut and clip the ducts and arteries attached to the Gall Bladder and to remove the Gall Bladder from the body.

What to expect after Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Surgery?

Gall Bladder removal is a major abdominal operation and a certain amount of postoperative pain occurs. Nausea and vomiting are not uncommon. Once liquids or a diet is tolerated, patients leave the hospital the same day or day following the laparoscopic Gall Bladder surgery. Activity is dependent on how the patient feels. Walking is encouraged. Patients can remove the dressings and shower the day after the operation. Patients will probably be able to return to normal activities within a week’s time, including driving, walking up stairs, light lifting and working. In general, recovery should be progressive, once the patient is at home. The onset of fever, yellow skin or eyes, worsening abdominal pain, distention, persistent nausea or vomiting, or drainage from the incision are indications that a complication may occur. Most patients who have a laparoscopic Gall Bladder removal go home from the hospital the day after surgery. Some may even go home the same day the operation is performed. Most patients can return to work within seven days following the laparoscopic procedure depending on the nature of your job. Patients with administrative or desk jobs usually return in a few days while those involved in manual labor or heavy lifting may require a bit more time. Patients undergoing the open procedure usually resume normal activities in four to six weeks.

What are the benefits of Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Surgery?

With laparoscopic cholecystectomy, you may return to work more quickly, have less pain after surgery, have a shorter hospital stay, and have a shorter recovery time. Unlike traditional surgery, laparoscopic surgery to remove the Gall Bladder can be done without cutting the muscles of your abdomen. The incision is also much smaller. With laparoscopic cholecystectomy; you probably will only have to stay in the hospital overnight. With open cholecystectomy, you would need to stay in the hospital for about 5 days. Because the incisions are smaller with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, there isn’t as much pain after this operation as after open cholecystectomy.Most patients do very well and recover rapidly. For laparoscopic Gall Bladder surgery, your hospital stay is likely to be shorter, and you may be home within 24 hours. Your recovery time is likely to be shorter as well.

A special cystoscope (tube that doctor can look through) is placed within the urethra while patient are asleep. The scar tissue is inspected and then a small knife is carefully placed at the scar through the cystoscope which is then incised until the scarred area is open, up to the size of the rest of patient’s urethra. A catheter is left in place for about 2-10 days (sometimes longer) to permit the lining of the urethra to being to heal the raw area inside.
