Ileostomy Surgery
Ileostomy surgery redirects part of the small intestine (ileum) to an external opening (stoma) in the abdomen. This means that waste is passed through the stoma, instead of passing through the rest of the intestines and the rectum (bowel). The stoma may have a valve and a tube (catheter) to pass waste, and there may be an external pouch (ostomy pouch) attached to the stoma to collect waste. This procedure may be necessary when the bowel is diseased or partially removed. It can be temporary or permanent, and there are several types of ileostomy surgery.

• The procedure will vary depending on which type of ileostomy surgery you are having. The 3 main types of ileostomy surgery are: o Loop ileostomy. A partial incision will be made in the ileum so that there is an opening in the ileum. This opening will be stitched to the skin around your abdomen incision to make the stoma. This type of procedure is often temporary. o End ileostomy. An incision will be made in the ileum so that it is divided into two separate parts. One end of the ileum will be stitched to your abdomen around your incision to make the stoma. o Continent ileostomy. An internal “pouch” is made from part of your ileum. A partial incision will be made in the ileum, and the ileum will be folded back on itself to form a pouch inside your body. This pouch will be connected to your stoma through a valve and a catheter used to drain waste.
• Your stoma and any other incisions will be covered with bandages (dressing). If you had a loop ileostomy or an end ileostomy, an ostomy pouch will be attached to your
Often we find belly fat but sometimes intestines can pass through the opening. Small hernias (non-reducible), where the contents cannot be put back through the abdominal wall, by pressure under the skin or navel. These seldom cause problems and can often be left alone. It is however recommended that it be checked regularly to ensure the texture, size and color have not changes.
Over half of the stomach is removed, leaving a thin, banana-sized tube or "sleeve" that is held closed with surgical staples. The new sack is approximately 1/10th the size of the original stomach. Surgeons also remove the part of the stomach that produces an appetite-stimulating

Lymphovenous Bypass WHAT IS LYMPHOVENOUS BYPASS? The lymphatic system is not very well known, but it is vital to the operation of the human body. It works alongside the bloodstream absorbing any leaked fluid from the blood vessels, this is known as lymph. Lymph nodes filter the lymph and put it back into the blood, but if these lymph nodes are damaged or removed the result is lymphedema, which is the swelling of a limb creating pain and immobility.
Crohn's Disease Crohn’s Disease is a disease that causes inflammation in the small intestine. Millions of people all over the worldwide are suffering from Crohn’s Diseases. In 1932, Crohn’s Diseases was referred to as a medical illness and it was described by Dr. Crohn, Dr. Leon Ginzburg, and Dr. Gordon Oppenheimer. But it all started in 1913 by a physician named Kennedy Dalziel who had a meeting with the British Medical Association, and described his nine cases with patients who suffered from intestinal obstruction. One day with a close examination of the inflamed bowel of a patient, the transmural inflammation that is characteristic of the disease was clearly evident.
Combined with knowledge in human anatomy, surgical procedures, and the implementation of tools and technologies, they assessed progression of the surgical operation, anticipating every need to facilitate a surgeon’s performance of invasive therapeutic and diagnostic procedure while keeping a vigilant count of surgical instruments and sponges which is pivotal in preventing adverse event

Talk to your health care provider about recommended vitamin and mineral supplements following gastric bypass surgery. Furthermore, surgeons in Europe who have banded for over a decade (almost universally) are starting to do gastric bypass preferentially, or as rescue or revision operations on their failed LAP-BAND patients. Nevertheless, LAP-BAND is an easy operation to perform, with few early complications associated with the operation itself. In 2002, the number of gastric bypass procedures jumped 40%, to 80,000.
The potential risk for injury of organs adherent to the abdominal wall during Veress needle or trocar insertion as well as the necessity for adhesiolysis and its attendant complications are the two major specific problems limiting surgeons from acting laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with previous abdominal
Today, the laparoscopic procedure is more common for those who qualify. This method is performed by making up to five small incisions in the outer stomach wall and using extremely small instruments and a tiny camera to guide
In the ELC group, one patient reported postoperative mild biliary colic, compared with 27 patients in the DLC group (1.4% vs. 44.3%, p<0.0001). LC was scheduled for all patients in both groups. In ELC group, it was completed successfully in 68 patients and 2 operations were converted to open surgery due to severe adhesions and difficult visualization of Calot’s triangle and uncontrolled bleeding from an aberrant artery. In DLC group, it was completed successfully in 60 patients and 1 patient was converted to open surgery due to severe adhesions and difficult dissection of Calot’s triangle. The mean difficulty of cholecystectomy scale was 5.3 and 4.9 in patients who underwent ELC and DLC respectively.
The digestive system is responsible for chemically and mechanically breaking down food and includes organs such as, mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, rectum, anus, and additional accessory organs. These organs all aid in the breakdown of food. Food is broken down mechanically by chewing and churning in the stomach, and chemically by acidic enzymes in the stomach and in the small intestine which receives enzymes from the pancreas that are specifically designed for the breakdown of nutrients. Once the food and nutrients are broken down, the excretory system removes whatever the body decides is waste by filtering blood in the nephrons of the kidneys and turning it into urine which is then collected in the bladder and removed from the body when the bladder is
The rectum is an 8 inch long passage that connects the large intestine and the anus. It is the rectum’s job to store the stool and let the body know that there is a stool that is needed to be let out. When there is gas or stool that is needed to be released the sensors send a message to your brain and the brain decides whether the stool can be released. If the stool can be released the, sphincters relax and the rectum contracts, which then
The inferior mesenteric vein and the median colic artery are located anterior and medial to the hernia (11). Right paraduodenal hernias Right paraduodenal hernias herniate to the Waldeyer’s fossa, posterior to the superior mesenteric artery and inferior to the third portion of the duodenum. On CT imaging the cluster of small bowel loops will be lateral and superior of the second portion of the duodenum and posterior and lateral of superior mesenteric artery (11).
