Appendectomy

Appendectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the appendix, a small pouch-like structure attached to the large intestine.

FAQ

Hernia Surgery

Hernia surgery is a medical procedure aimed at repairing a hernia, which occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue wall. Hernias commonly appear in the abdominal area but can occur in other regions as well. Surgery is often recommended to repair the hernia and prevent potential complications.

Common Symptoms of Hernia:

Hernias can lead to serious complications if left untreated. The herniated tissue can become trapped or “incarcerated,” leading to reduced blood flow and potentially causing tissue damage. This can progress to a condition called a strangulated hernia, which is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention.

Anal Surgery

Anal surgery involves medical procedures performed on the anal region to address various conditions, such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, abscesses, and fistulas. These procedures are designed to alleviate discomfort, treat infections, and improve the overall health of the anal area.

Common Symptoms of Anal Conditions:

Untreated anal conditions can lead to worsening symptoms and potential complications, such as infection or chronic discomfort. Timely medical intervention is vital to prevent complications and improve quality of life.
