diagnostic procedure that uses X-ray images to look for<br \/>blockages or narrow spots in your blood vessels (arteries or veins). An<br \/>angiography test can show how blood circulates in blood vessels at specific<br \/>locations in your body. Your physician uses an angiography of your heart, neck,<br \/>kidneys, legs or other areas to locate the source of an artery or vein issue.<br \/>He may want to do an angiography procedure when you have signs of blocked,<br \/>damaged or abnormal blood vessels. An angiogram test helps your physician to<br \/>determine the source of the problem and the extent of damage to your blood<br \/>vessels.<br \/>With an angiography procedure, your physician can diagnose and plan treatment<br \/>for conditions like:<\/p><ul dir=\"ltr\"><li>Coronary artery disease<\/li><li>Peripheral artery disease<\/li><li>Blood clots<\/li><li>Aneurysm<\/li><\/ul><p dir=\"ltr\">An angiography procedure involves injecting contrast material (dye) that your<br \/>physician can see with an X-ray machine. Images on a screen show blood flow and<br \/>blockages in your blood vessels. Your physician will give you medicine to make<br \/>sure you\u2019re relaxed and comfortable. Most people receive sedation. Others get<br \/>general anesthesia, which makes them sleep.

However, with the passage of time and the<br \/>advancement of angiography tools, doctors decided to treat some blockages with<br \/>this method in addition to diagnosis, thus the angioplasty method was created.<br \/>Angioplasty is a non-surgical method that does not require any special incisions<br \/>and is minimally invasive. Angioplasty can perform narrowing and blockages of<br \/>vascular arteries as well as repair them, especially in the heart vessels. If the<br \/>blockages of the vessels are severe, in some cases the doctor decides to perform<br \/>open heart surgery instead of angioplasty or stenting.<br \/>This operation, which lasts about 1 hour (angioplasty varies between 0 minutes<br \/>and 2 hours but is generally completed within 1 hour). It does not require full<br \/>anesthesia and is generally performed with local anesthesia or light anesthesia in<br \/>a way that the patient is awake during the operation.<br \/>There are some steps that must be taken before the operation, including injecting<br \/>some fluids such as sedatives and blood thinners (to reduce blood clotting) such<br \/>as anticoagulants into the body with an intravenous catheter, and then the<br \/>operation begins.<br \/>In angioplasty, the doctor temporarily places a balloon, which is like a small<br \/>balloon, in the place where the artery is blocked for a few seconds and inflates it<br \/>until the vessel is completely open. After this operation, the vessel opens and<br \/>returns to its normal course, but often a spring called a stent is used to prevent<br \/>re-blockage.<br \/>Of course, placing a spring in a vessel is not such an easy task. In some patients,<br \/>after the spring is placed in the vessel, the blood clots so severely that the doctor<br \/>has to take the patient back to the angiography room and perform angioplasty.<br \/>This sometimes leads to the death of the patient. Adding fluids that thin the blood<br \/>is done for this reason.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-tabs-panel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title pp-tabs-label pp-tab-responsive   at-hover\" data-index=\"1203\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-text\">Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"pp-toggle-icon pp-tab-open fa\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content-1203\" class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content elementor-clearfix pp-advanced-tabs-tab_content \" data-tab=\"3\" data-index=\"1203\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-1203\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What is open-heart surgery?<br \/>Open-heart surgery helps repair heart defects or damage. In this procedure, the<br \/>surgeon removes the breastbone and opens the chest to gain easier access to the<br \/>heart.<br \/>The most common type of open-heart surgery is coronary artery bypass surgery.<br \/>Coronary arteries are responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood to the heart. If<br \/>these arteries become blocked or narrowed, you are at risk for a heart attack. To<br \/>prevent this problem, open-heart surgery is performed with a blood vessel graft,<br \/>which means that the surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from another part of the<br \/>body and transplants it into the blocked coronary artery. This allows the grafted<br \/>vessel to bypass the blocked artery and bring new blood to the heart.<br \/>Mitral valve or aortic valve open-heart surgery are also common surgeries that<br \/>doctors may recommend. The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and<br \/>the left ventricle of the heart and prevents blood from flowing back into the atrium.<br \/>The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta and prevents<br \/>blood from flowing back into the heart after it has been pumped.<br \/>In addition, you may need to have open-heart surgery if you have any of the<br \/>following conditions:<br \/>\uf0b7 Arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation<br \/>\uf0b7 Congenital heart defects, such as atrial septal defect (a hole in the heart) or<br \/>hypoplastic left heart syndrome<br \/>\uf0b7 Heart failure<br \/>\uf0b7 Thoracic aortic aneurysm<br \/>Open-heart surgery steps; how is the surgery performed?<br \/>The length of heart surgery depends on the type of surgery and your individual<br \/>needs. For example, coronary artery bypass grafting takes three to six hours. Open-<br \/>heart surgery is performed under general anesthesia from start to finish, so you are<br \/>asleep during the surgery and do not feel any pain.<\/p><p>After the anesthesia, the surgeon makes a 6- to 8-inch (about 15 to 20 cm) incision<br \/>in the middle of your chest and cuts through all or part of your breastbone to gain<br \/>access to your heart.<br \/>Your medical team may use a cardiopulmonary bypass machine during the<br \/>surgery. In this case, your heart stops and the machine takes over the pumping of<br \/>your blood. In other words, it circulates your blood throughout your body,<br \/>delivering oxygen to it and removing carbon dioxide.<br \/>Sometimes, your doctor will perform the surgery without a cardiopulmonary<br \/>bypass machine.

The aorta<br \/>consists of several parts, the lower part of which is also called the abdominal aorta.<br \/>Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a condition in which the abdominal aorta bulges and<br \/>is at risk of rupture. The aortic artery may also develop an aneurysm for several<br \/>reasons and require treatment. In this article, we will introduce abdominal aortic<br \/>aneurysm surgery methods and the importance of performing it.<\/p><p>When does an abdominal aortic aneurysm require treatment?<br \/>In most cases, an abdominal aortic aneurysm is diagnosed by chance. In fact, a<br \/>specialist may learn about the damage to the abdominal aortic aneurysm during an<br \/>examination and imaging to diagnose other diseases. Damage to the aortic<br \/>aneurysm usually does not have specific symptoms, which is why a person often<br \/>does not know about the existence of this disease. However, some patients may<br \/>experience symptoms due to damage to the aortic aneurysm, some of which are:<br \/>1. The person is constantly accompanied by abdominal pain.<br \/>2. The patient may feel that the abdomen is pulsating like the heart.<br \/>3. The patient constantly feels pain in the lower back.<br \/>These symptoms are observed when the person only has an abdominal aortic<br \/>aneurysm. In some cases, the aortic aneurysm may be accompanied by rupture,<br \/>which causes symptoms such as shortness of breath, high heart rate, dizziness,<br \/>abdominal pain, back pain, sweating, lethargy and unconsciousness. In such<br \/>situations, a cardiologist should be consulted as soon as possible for treatment.<\/p><p>How is abdominal aortic aneurysm treated?<br \/>The specialist doctor examines the condition of the abdominal aortic aneurysm<br \/>after physically examining the patient and performing tests such as echo,<br \/>electrocardiogram, exercise test, imaging, etc. After examining the condition of the<br \/>artery; Various methods are used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysm damage, the<br \/>most important of which are:<\/p><p>\uf0b7 Endovascular aneurysm repair or (EVAR): Endovascular aneurysm repair is<br \/>a type of closed surgery that usually does not require an incision in the<br \/>abdomen. In fact, after anesthetizing the patient, the surgeon makes a very<br \/>small incision in the groin to perform this surgery. Through the incision<br \/>made in the groin, the catheter is guided to the aortic aneurysm with the help<br \/>of the arteries. At this stage, a relatively small and narrow tube called a stent<br \/>is advanced to the aneurysm through the catheter, and the aortic artery is<br \/>treated at this point.<br \/>\uf0b7 Open abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery: In addition to closed surgery, the<br \/>condition of the aortic aneurysm in the patient may be such that the<br \/>specialist doctor may recommend open surgery to treat the aneurysm. Unlike<br \/>EVAR surgery, during this surgery, a relatively large incision is first made<br \/>in the abdomen to access the aneurysm. After finding an aortic aneurysm, a<br \/>type of artificial tube called a clamp is placed close to the protruding part of<br \/>the aorta and the aneurysm problem is completely resolved.<\/p><p>What is the importance of treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm?<br \/>Some people may wonder why we should take action to eliminate an abdominal<br \/>aortic aneurysm? Unfortunately, those who suffer from an aortic aneurysm in the<br \/>abdomen may be exposed to several risks such as aneurysm rupture or disruption<br \/>of the blood flow system.<br \/>In some cases, the rupture of an aortic aneurysm may be so severe that it causes<br \/>bleeding. For this reason, it is better to see a cardiologist as soon as possible to<br \/>prevent the growth of an aortic aneurysm, improve the blood flow system, reduce<br \/>the symptoms of the disease, and prevent the aneurysm from rupturing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-tabs-panel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title pp-tabs-label pp-tab-responsive   at-hover\" data-index=\"1205\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-text\">Abdominoplasty<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"pp-toggle-icon pp-tab-open fa\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content-1205\" class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content elementor-clearfix pp-advanced-tabs-tab_content \" data-tab=\"5\" data-index=\"1205\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-1205\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tummy Tuck Surgery<br \/>A tummy tuck, tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to<br \/>improve the shape and elasticity of the abdominal area. This surgical procedure<br \/>involves removing excess and sagging fat and skin to improve the shape of the<br \/>underlying tissues that support the skin and fat. Tummy tuck surgery can be<br \/>performed for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons.<br \/>The goal of a tummy tuck is to remove excess skin and fat from the mid and lower<br \/>abdomen, as well as to repair muscles that have been separated. It can also help<br \/>reduce the protrusion of the abdomen due to excess skin and fat and loose<br \/>abdominal muscles.<br \/>Although abdominoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure, it can also have<br \/>reconstructive aspects in some cases. Including:<br \/>\uf0b7 Correction of abdominal deformities caused by pregnancy, obesity and<br \/>overweight, severe weight loss, trauma, tumors or other diseases<br \/>\uf0b7 Correction or relief of structural defects in the abdominal area<br \/>\uf0b7 Improvement of abdominal muscle function<br \/>\uf0b7 Restoration of a normal appearance in the abdominal area<br \/>\uf0b7 Repair of an abdominal hernia that has occurred following previous surgery.<\/p><p>Abdominoplasty<br \/>Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that is very serious and requires rest and<br \/>hospitalization for at least one day. This surgery is best performed in equipped<br \/>medical centers and hospitals.<br \/>It should be noted that the percentage of embolism in this surgery will be higher<br \/>than any other surgery and in general, it will be greatly reduced with the necessary<br \/>care, but it will never reach zero. Abdominoplasty is most often performed in<br \/>conjunction with liposuction of the flanks and stomach area. It will also be<br \/>necessary to wear a girdle for three months after surgery.<br \/>Abdominoplasty surgery will not be suitable for people whose BMI is high and all<br \/>their body parts are facing obesity, because this surgery can remove belly and side<br \/>fat, and it will not be suitable for people whose arms, thighs and other body parts<\/p><p>are obese. In such a case, it is better for the patient to first treat and eliminate their<br \/>obesity, and then proceed to perform surgery.<\/p><p>Can abdominoplasty surgery be associated with complications and risks?<br \/>The surgeries performed today are designed to provide the highest level of safety.<br \/>However, there is a possibility of complications. It is worth noting that in any<br \/>general anesthesia, there is a risk of risk and pulmonary embolism in any<br \/>abdominoplasty, but the probability is negligible if scientific issues are observed<br \/>and the facilities of a well-equipped hospital are used. Such as:<br \/>\uf0b7 Wound infection<br \/>\uf0b7 Pain and discomfort in the stitches<br \/>\uf0b7 Hematoma (blood accumulation in the areas around the surgery)<br \/>\uf0b7 Prominence and clarity of scars<br \/>\uf0b7 Numbness around the surgical area<br \/>\uf0b7 Blood clots<br \/>\uf0b7 Nausea<\/p><p>Abdominoplasty procedure<br \/>To perform abdominoplasty, a horizontal incision is made between the pubic<br \/>hairline and the navel. The shape and length of the incision depend on the amount<br \/>of tissue and fat that needs to be removed. In the next step, the skin is removed and<br \/>the underlying abdominal muscles are accessed and repaired.<br \/>Another incision is made in the areas around the navel to remove any excess tissue<br \/>and fat in the upper abdomen. After the changes are made and the skin and fat are<br \/>removed, the remaining skin is sutured and a new hole for the navel is created.<\/p><p>What care is needed after abdominoplasty?<br \/>\uf0b7 After surgery, a dressing will be placed on the abdomen to protect the<br \/>stitches. In addition, the elastic bandage will reduce swelling and<br \/>inflammation in the abdomen.<\/p><p>\uf0b7 A tube may be temporarily placed under the skin to collect blood and excess<br \/>fluid.<br \/>\uf0b7 A special garment that is provided to the patient must be worn for six weeks<br \/>to prevent fluid accumulation and protect the abdomen.<br \/>\uf0b7 For several weeks after surgery, strenuous physical activities that put<br \/>pressure on the abdomen and stitches should be avoided.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-tabs-panel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title pp-tabs-label pp-tab-responsive   at-hover\" data-index=\"1206\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-text\">Cholecystectomy<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"pp-toggle-icon pp-tab-open fa\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content-1206\" class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content elementor-clearfix pp-advanced-tabs-tab_content \" data-tab=\"6\" data-index=\"1206\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-1206\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What is a cholecystectomy?<br \/>A cholecystectomy is surgery to remove your gallbladder. The gallbladder is a<br \/>small organ located under your liver. It is located on the upper right side of your<br \/>abdomen or stomach. The gallbladder stores a digestive juice called bile that is<br \/>made in the liver.<br \/>There are 2 types of gallbladder removal surgery:<br \/>\uf0b7 Open (traditional) procedure. In this procedure, 1 incision (cut) about 4 to<br \/>6 inches long is made in the upper right side of your abdomen. The surgeon<br \/>finds the gallbladder and removes it through the incision.<br \/>\uf0b7 Laparoscopic procedure. This procedure uses 3 to 4 very small incisions. It<br \/>uses a long, thin tube called a laparoscope. This tube has a small video<br \/>camera and surgical tools. The tube, camera, and tools are inserted through<br \/>the incisions. The surgeon performs the surgery while watching a TV<br \/>monitor. The gallbladder is removed through 1 incision.<br \/>Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is less invasive. It uses very small incisions in your<br \/>abdomen. There is less bleeding. Recovery time is usually shorter than open<br \/>surgery.<br \/>In some cases, the laparoscope may show that your gallbladder is very diseased. Or<br \/>it may show other problems. Then the surgeon may have to use an open surgical<br \/>procedure to safely remove the gallbladder.<\/p><p>What are the risks of a cholecystectomy?<br \/>Some possible complications of a cholecystectomy may include:<br \/>\uf0b7 Bleeding<br \/>\uf0b7 Infection<br \/>\uf0b7 Damage to the tube (bile duct) that carries bile from the gallbladder to the<br \/>small intestine.<br \/>\uf0b7 Liver damage<br \/>\uf0b7 Scarring and numbness at the incision site<br \/>\uf0b7 Protrusion of an organ or tissue (hernia) at the incision site<\/p><p>During a laparoscopic procedure, surgical instruments are placed in your abdomen.<br \/>This may damage your intestines or blood vessels.<br \/>You may have other risks that are specific to you. Be sure to discuss any concerns<br \/>with your healthcare provider before the procedure.<\/p><p>What happens during a cholecystectomy?<br \/>You may have a cholecystectomy as an outpatient or as part of your hospital stay.<br \/>The way the surgery is performed may vary depending on your condition and the<br \/>performance of your healthcare provider.<br \/>A cholecystectomy is usually performed while you are given medication to put you<br \/>in a deep sleep.<br \/>In general, a cholecystectomy follows this process:<br \/>\uf0b7 You will be asked to remove any jewelry or objects that may interfere with<br \/>the surgery.<br \/>\uf0b7 You will be asked to undress and given a gown to wear.<br \/>\uf0b7 An intravenous (IV) line will be placed in your arm or hand.<br \/>\uf0b7 You will lie on your back on the operating table. Anesthesia will be initiated.<br \/>\uf0b7 A tube will be placed in your throat to help you breathe. The<br \/>anesthesiologist will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and<br \/>blood oxygen levels during surgery.<br \/>\uf0b7 If there is a lot of hair at the surgical site, it may be clipped.<br \/>\uf0b7 The skin over the surgical site will be cleaned with a sterile solution<br \/>(antiseptic).<\/p><p>Open cholecystectomy<br \/>An incision will be made. This incision may be angled under your ribs on the right<br \/>side of your abdomen. Or it may be made in the upper part of your abdomen.<br \/>Your gallbladder will be removed.<br \/>In some cases, 1 or more drains may be placed in the incision. This allows fluid or<br \/>pus to drain.<\/p><p>Laparoscopic cholecystectomy<br \/>About 3 or 4 small incisions will be made in your abdomen. Carbon dioxide gas is<br \/>injected into your abdomen to inflate it. This allows the gallbladder and nearby<br \/>organs to be seen more easily.<br \/>A laparoscope is inserted into one incision. Surgical instruments are inserted<br \/>through other incisions to remove the gallbladder.<br \/>After the surgery, the laparoscope and instruments are removed. Carbon dioxide<br \/>gas is released through the incisions. Most of it will be reabsorbed by your body.<\/p><p>Completion of the procedure, both methods<br \/>\uf0b7 The gallbladder is sent to a laboratory for testing<br \/>\uf0b7 The incisions are closed with stitches or surgical staples<br \/>\uf0b7 A sterile bandage or dressing or adhesive tape is used to cover the wounds<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-tabs-panel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title pp-tabs-label pp-tab-responsive   at-hover\" data-index=\"1207\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-text\">colorectal surgery<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"pp-toggle-icon pp-tab-open fa\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content-1207\" class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content elementor-clearfix pp-advanced-tabs-tab_content \" data-tab=\"7\" data-index=\"1207\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-1207\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Colorectal Surgery<br \/>Colorectal surgery is a branch of medicine and surgery that deals with conditions<br \/>of the large intestine. Colorectal means that the large intestine and rectum are<br \/>affected by the techniques of this surgical procedure. The colon is called the<br \/>middle part of the intestine. The rectum is also considered the last part of the colon.<br \/>The rectum is anatomically directed directly to the outside of the body.<\/p><p>What conditions does colorectal surgery treat?<br \/>Common diseases of the digestive tract, as well as less common ones, can occur<br \/>for a variety of reasons. These conditions also have their own characteristics and<br \/>symptoms. Colorectal surgery is mainly used to treat benign digestive tract<br \/>conditions such as diverticulosis, ischemic colitis, and long-term inflammatory<br \/>bowel diseases such as Crohn&amp;#39;s and ulcerative colitis.<br \/>The second use and role of colorectal surgery is to treat malignant digestive tract<br \/>conditions. Among the malignant diseases treated with this surgery is colorectal<br \/>carcinoma. Although colon polyps are often benign growths that have grown out of<br \/>the intestinal mucosa, it is possible that colon adenomas can sometimes be<br \/>identified as precursors to colon cancer.<br \/>Hereditary syndromes can also occur that are associated with colon polyps and an<br \/>increased risk of cancer. Familial adenomatous polyposis is one of the hereditary<br \/>conditions of the digestive tract. Another benefit of colorectal surgery is the<br \/>treatment of abnormalities and injuries of the digestive tract. Colorectal surgery is<br \/>also effective in treating anal canal conditions. Anal canal conditions are injuries<br \/>that occur in the excretory tract of the digestive tract.<\/p><p>What treatment options are available to colon surgeons?<br \/>When choosing a surgical method for treating a gastrointestinal condition in the<br \/>colon and rectum, doctors consider whether the condition is malignant or just a<br \/>benign condition. They also consider whether they can temporarily or permanently<br \/>preserve and treat the bowel. Sometimes, the surgeon will prescribe an artificial<br \/>bowel outlet for treatment or simply to treat and relieve the condition.<\/p><p>There are also less invasive, non-surgical treatment options, as well as endoscopic<br \/>procedures that are performed only through the bowel. Sometimes, the surgeon<br \/>will use laparoscopic techniques, open surgery, and other combined forms of<br \/>treatment. The success of the treatment and recovery of the bowel after surgery<br \/>also depends on the blood supply to the intestinal tract and the drainage of the<br \/>lymph nodes. But more importantly, the treatment and its level of effectiveness<br \/>depend mainly on the type of condition and its severity.<br \/>What is the purpose of colorectal surgery?<br \/>According to the primomedico website, as the name suggests, this invasive<br \/>treatment method is used to remove the colon or parts of it. Colorectal surgery is<br \/>also the best treatment and surgery for gastrointestinal disorders in the posterior<br \/>and posterior parts.<br \/>Colorectal surgery involves examination, diagnosis, and consideration of<br \/>appropriate treatment options, such as non-surgical treatments instead of surgical<br \/>treatment. Finally, this treatment method ends with post-operative care or, in other<br \/>words, is completed.<\/p><p>Why should I have colorectal surgery?<br \/>Many people with rectal, anal, and colon problems believe that they can overcome<br \/>the disease without surgery, or that surgery cannot improve their condition. If the<br \/>tumor is very large or if it is worse and has spread beyond the intestinal wall, the<br \/>doctor will determine that surgery is the best way to deal with the disease and<br \/>destroy it.<br \/>Rest assured that today in the field of colorectal surgery, there are new and<br \/>effective techniques that doctors can use to eliminate all symptoms of colorectal<br \/>cancer and other conditions in this area of \u200b\u200bthe digestive tract. Also, with timely and<br \/>proper treatment, the risk of recurrence and progression of the disease is<br \/>minimized.<\/p><p>Types of Advanced Colorectal Surgery<br \/>Laparoscopic Colon Resection<\/p><p>In this colorectal surgery method, doctors make a very small incision to remove the<br \/>tumor. In this surgery, the surgeon may also remove lymph nodes at risk of being<br \/>affected by the condition, depending on the diagnosis.<br \/>Rectal Cancer Surgery<br \/>When cancer is diagnosed in the last 20 centimeters of the colon, it is called rectal<br \/>cancer. In rectal cancer surgery, the surgeon removes the fatty tissue around the<br \/>tumor using advanced techniques. This method is more invasive and helps<br \/>surgeons access all affected lymph nodes. This surgery greatly reduces the risk of<br \/>cancer recurrence.<br \/>Advanced Robotic Technology<br \/>As the name suggests, this surgical procedure uses a robotic surgical system to<br \/>treat the condition. The doctor treats the condition by guiding and controlling the<br \/>robot during the surgery. This surgical procedure is usually very useful when the<br \/>area affected by the condition is difficult to access. This invasive and advanced<br \/>surgery can also have a significant impact on reducing the risk of recurrence and<br \/>progression of the disease.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-tabs-panel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title pp-tabs-label pp-tab-responsive   at-hover\" data-index=\"1208\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-text\">Cystoscopy<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"pp-toggle-icon pp-tab-open fa\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content-1208\" class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content elementor-clearfix pp-advanced-tabs-tab_content \" data-tab=\"8\" data-index=\"1208\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-1208\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What is cystoscopy?<br \/>Cystoscopy is a combination of cysto and scopy. Scopy means to examine with a<br \/>camera and cysto means bladder. So, the literal meaning of this procedure is to<br \/>look into the bladder with a camera. Urologists use cystoscopy to diagnose<br \/>problems in the urinary tract. A cystoscope is a thin tube with a camera and light at<br \/>the end. During a cystoscopy, the doctor inserts the tube through the urethra into<br \/>the bladder so that he can see the inside of your bladder. The magnified images<br \/>from the camera are displayed on a screen for the doctor to see.<\/p><p>Who needs a cystoscopy?<br \/>A urologist may recommend a cystoscopy if you experience the following:<br \/>\uf0b7 Bladder control problems such as urinary retention (inability to completely<br \/>empty your bladder) or incontinence (inability to control the flow of urine)<br \/>\uf0b7 Pain during urination<br \/>\uf0b7 Painful urination (dysuria)<br \/>\uf0b7 Blood in the urine<br \/>\uf0b7 Bladder stones<br \/>\uf0b7 Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)<br \/>\uf0b7 People with cancerous or noncancerous tumors<\/p><p>What conditions is a cystoscopy used to diagnose?<br \/>Conditions diagnosed with cystoscopy include: Bladder stones and bladder<br \/>inflammation Enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) Bladder cancer or<br \/>cancer of the urethra Bladder control problems Urethral strictures and urinary<br \/>fistulas Diagnosis and sampling of small tumors Cystoscopy Uses of cystoscopy<br \/>for treatment How cystoscopy is performed For this test, you will need to remove<br \/>all or most of your clothing and wear a cloth covering. About half an hour before<br \/>the test, you will be given a sedative to help you feel more comfortable during the<br \/>test. An intravenous (IV) needle may also be placed in a vein in your arm so that<br \/>medications and fluids can be given to you. You will lie on your back on a bed<br \/>with your knees bent and your legs spread apart. Your legs or groin may be bound<\/p><p>with special stirrups. Your genital area will be cleaned with a disinfectant solution,<br \/>and a sterile cloth will be wrapped around your navel and groin.<\/p><p>Postoperative care after cystoscopy<br \/>\uf0b7 It is normal to experience burning sensation when urinating, blood in the<br \/>urine, and mild pain after a cystoscopy and will subside with fluids. It is best<br \/>to avoid foods that stimulate the bladder while the burning sensation<br \/>persists.<br \/>\uf0b7 Using a warm bath, placing a warm, damp towel on the urethra and external<br \/>genitalia, and taking a warm shower can also help reduce pain and<br \/>subsequent complications of cystoscopy.<br \/>\uf0b7 Due to the manipulation of the urinary system and the relaxation of the<br \/>muscles caused by the injection of anesthetics, a person may experience<br \/>difficulty urinating or even urinary retention.<br \/>\uf0b7 This procedure is usually performed without the need for general anesthesia<br \/>and with local anesthesia. After the cystoscopy, the patient gets out of bed,<br \/>puts on his normal clothes, and is discharged after 1-2 hours of observation.<br \/>\uf0b7 It is recommended to have someone with you. Performing a normal<br \/>cystoscopy usually does not have any special complications, and the person<br \/>can continue his normal life (after the anesthetic drugs have taken effect and<br \/>he has fully regained consciousness).<br \/>\uf0b7 In rare cases, performing a cystoscopy can cause urinary tract infection or<br \/>even testicular infection. In case of fever and chills, or if the above problems<br \/>continue, or if bleeding and burning sensation in the bladder do not resolve,<br \/>contact your doctor after 2 to 3 days.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-tabs-panel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title pp-tabs-label pp-tab-responsive   at-hover\" data-index=\"1209\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-text\">dialysis fistula<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"pp-toggle-icon pp-tab-open fa\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content-1209\" class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content elementor-clearfix pp-advanced-tabs-tab_content \" data-tab=\"9\" data-index=\"1209\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-1209\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Arteriovenous fistula creation<br \/>Arteriovenous fistula creation is a surgical procedure performed by a vascular<br \/>surgeon to create a connection between an artery and a vein.<br \/>The fistula is usually located on the forearm or upper arm. However, it may also be<br \/>located on the leg. Creating an AV fistula increases the pressure and blood flow in<br \/>the vein, causing the vein to become larger and stronger. The enlarged vein<br \/>provides easy and reliable vascular access for hemodialysis treatments. Indications<br \/>for Arteriovenous fistula creation: An arteriovenous fistula may be created for<br \/>dialysis in kidney patients.<\/p><p>Preparing for an arteriovenous fistula creation<br \/>In preparation for creating an arteriovenous fistula, a Doppler ultrasound is<br \/>performed to map the blood vessels. The ultrasound shows the speed of blood flow<br \/>through the various blood vessels in the area and enables your surgeon to select the<br \/>most appropriate blood vessel for creating the fistula.<br \/>You should tell your doctor about any allergies and medications you take regularly,<br \/>as some medications, such as blood thinners, may need to be temporarily stopped a<br \/>week before surgery.

This approach<br \/>involves removing more or less of the affected intervertebral disc. Discectomy is<br \/>generally used when patients are resistant to conservative treatments (medications<br \/>or physiotherapy) or when patients experience more severe symptoms (back pain,<br \/>loss of sensation, difficulty walking, etc.). From a practical point of view, the<br \/>surgeon, under general anesthesia, removes the herniated disc fragment using more<br \/>or less invasive techniques to allow the patient to recover quickly. If it is necessary<br \/>to remove a large portion of the nucleus pulposus, discectomy is accompanied by<br \/>the placement of a prosthesis (or a spacer made of artificial or autologous bone)<br \/>between the two affected vertebrae.<\/p><p>Discectomy<br \/>What is a herniated disc?<br \/>A herniated disc is a relatively common spinal condition that can also affect young<br \/>people. The most affected age group is between 30 and 50 years. The nucleus<br \/>pulposus is made of spongy tissue, located in the center of the intervertebral disc,<br \/>and is held in place by a cartilaginous covering (annulus fibrosus). It also holds the<br \/>intervertebral disc together with its two vertebrae.<br \/>The annulus fibrosus can deform or rupture under the elastic pressure of the<br \/>nucleus pulposus (herniated disc), causing the nucleus to escape (extruded disc)<br \/>and invade an unrelated space in the vertebral canal (herniated disc migration). In<br \/>these cases, the nucleus pulposus comes into contact with nerve roots, irritating<br \/>them physically and chemically. These symptoms are commonly associated with a<br \/>herniated disc.<\/p><p>What causes a herniated disc?<br \/>A herniated disc is the result of certain stresses that wear down the annulus<br \/>fibrosus that is placed to protect the nucleus pulposus. Sometimes, intervertebral<br \/>discs can become overstretched due to strenuous work or severe trauma to the<br \/>spine during sports, weightlifting, or habitually sitting in awkward positions. This<br \/>disorder can also be a direct consequence of aging-related degenerative processes<\/p><p>in the bone structures of the spine. Herniated discs mainly affect the cervical,<br \/>thoracic, and lumbosacral spine.<\/p><p>Signs and Symptoms of a Herniated Disc?<br \/>A herniated disc can be very debilitating. The nucleus pulposus of an intervertebral<br \/>disc that protrudes from the annulus fibrosus can compress the nerve roots exiting<br \/>the spinal canal, causing severe pain that can also limit normal movement. These<br \/>symptoms can affect the neck or back or can spread to the arms or legs. In the<br \/>initial stage, which is characterized by symptoms of irritation of the nerve<br \/>structures, there are sensory and motor deficits. Therefore, numbness or weakness,<br \/>motor problems, loss of muscle strength, numbness and tingling in the limbs may<br \/>occur.<br \/>What is a discectomy?<br \/>Discectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove the damaged part of the<br \/>intervertebral disc affected by a herniated disc. Discectomy is used when there is a<br \/>significant decrease in strength or the pain increases despite the use of medication<br \/>and physiotherapy.<\/p><p>How is a discectomy performed?<br \/>There are two common methods of intervention in the case of a herniated disc,<br \/>traditional microdiscectomy and endoscopic microdiscectomy. Below I have<br \/>reviewed the performance of their methods:<br \/>Traditional microdiscectomy<br \/>Microdiscectomy is a percutaneous technique that guarantees good results. In<br \/>practice, it consists of removing the herniated material and the disc that protrudes<br \/>from it. This technique is quite similar to discectomy.<br \/>Endoscopic microdiscectomy<br \/>This procedure uses an endoscope, an instrument consisting of a very small<br \/>flexible tube, formed by a series of very thin optical fibers connected to a<br \/>microcamera. After making an incision of a few millimeters, the endoscope is<br \/>inserted into the area to be treated by penetrating the disc laterally. It is precisely<\/p><p>through these small instruments that the surgeon removes the herniation. Both of<br \/>these procedures are performed under general or spinal anesthesia.<\/p><p>Laser discectomy<br \/>This procedure uses a laser beam that is applied directly to the nucleus of the disc,<br \/>which removes the herniation through special cannulas. This procedure can be<br \/>performed under radiological control and through a percutaneous procedure. This<br \/>procedure may make treatment of lumbosacral disc herniation more difficult.<br \/>Disc Coblation<br \/>This minimally invasive procedure involves inserting a needle into the disc space,<br \/>under radiological control, to which an electrode is applied. Through the<br \/>transmission of high-frequency energy (radiofrequency), it is able to destroy part<br \/>of the nucleus pulposus. As a result, the shrunken disc no longer compresses the<br \/>nerves, so the pain disappears and mobility improves. This type of treatment is<br \/>indicated (priority) in the early stages of herniation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-tabs-panel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title pp-tabs-label pp-tab-responsive   at-hover\" data-index=\"12011\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-text\">Gastric Sleeve Surgery<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"pp-toggle-icon pp-tab-open fa\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content-12011\" class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content elementor-clearfix pp-advanced-tabs-tab_content \" data-tab=\"11\" data-index=\"12011\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-12011\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Weight loss surgery is a series of surgical procedures aimed at weight loss. Like<br \/>other weight loss surgeries, gastric sleeve surgery is suitable for those who, for<br \/>whatever reason, diet and exercise have not been successful in losing weight. In<br \/>gastric sleeve surgery, a gastroenterologist removes a large portion of the stomach<br \/>and reshapes the stomach to resemble a small banana or sleeve. The removed parts<br \/>of the stomach are the parts that produce the hunger hormone, ghrelin.<br \/>This procedure is newer than gastric bypass surgery and is usually less expensive<br \/>than bypass surgery. Various studies have shown that sleeve surgery is as effective<br \/>as gastric bypass surgery. When you see a gastroenterologist, your doctor will<br \/>review your conditions and wishes and, based on your physical condition and<br \/>health, will recommend gastric sleeve surgery if appropriate.<\/p><p>What is a gastric sleeve or sleeve gastrectomy?<br \/>What is a gastric sleeve? Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of weight loss surgery in<br \/>which a large part of the stomach is removed. Gastric sleeve surgery is a restrictive<br \/>surgery in which about 75% of the stomach volume is removed; as a result, the<br \/>person feels full after eating a small amount of food. This surgical option does not<br \/>change the intestinal tract.<br \/>This surgery also makes the person feel less hungry because a smaller stomach<br \/>secretes lower levels of the hormone ghrelin (which leads to hunger); as a result,<br \/>the person will experience long-term appetite suppression.<br \/>Although sleeve gastrectomy leads to significant weight loss, it is also associated<br \/>with certain risks and side effects. Therefore, before deciding to undergo this<br \/>procedure, consult a gastroenterologist and only undergo gastric sleeve surgery<br \/>when the benefits of this procedure outweigh the risks.<\/p><p>What are the steps of gastric sleeve surgery?<br \/>The gastric sleeve procedure involves a series of steps, which are outlined below:<\/p><p>\u2022 Laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery (also known as closed surgery or LSG)<br \/>requires general anesthesia in a hospital setting and is performed by a<br \/>gastroenterologist through approximately five small incisions in the patient\u2019s<br \/>abdomen.<br \/>\u2022 The surgeon performs the procedure using a long, thin telescope with a small<br \/>camera at the end. This instrument is used to remove about 80% of the stomach.<br \/>\u2022 The abdomen is inflated by injecting carbon dioxide gas into the abdomen. A<br \/>special instrument called a trocar is then used to enter the abdomen. First, a<br \/>silicone tube is passed from the mouth to the outlet of the stomach to adjust the<br \/>width of the remaining stomach and separate it from the fatty tissue surrounding<br \/>the stomach, nearby vessels, and spleen. The excess stomach is then cut and<br \/>removed with a special device called a stapler. After the gastrectomy, about 80 to<br \/>150 mm of the stomach volume remains.<br \/>\u2022 The removed part is removed from the abdomen and sent to the pathology<br \/>department for examination. Then, the bleeding at the incision site and the stapled<br \/>part is controlled. Additional metal clips or several stitches can be used.<br \/>\u2022 Also, if necessary, some special medications are placed on the wound to stop the<br \/>bleeding. Then, a silicone drain is placed in the surgical area to drain the<br \/>accumulated fluids. Finally, the wound is closed and the surgery is completed.<br \/>What is the aftercare after gastric sleeve surgery?<br \/>If you have had gastric sleeve surgery, you should first start with liquid foods.<br \/>After a few weeks, you can eat pureed foods and finally solid foods. During this<br \/>time, you will notice that your meal consumption will be much less than before and<br \/>you may have to avoid drinking liquids with meals due to the shrinking of the<br \/>stomach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-tabs-panel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title pp-tabs-label pp-tab-responsive   at-hover\" data-index=\"12012\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-text\">Hip replacement<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"pp-toggle-icon pp-tab-open fa\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content-12012\" class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content elementor-clearfix pp-advanced-tabs-tab_content \" data-tab=\"12\" data-index=\"12012\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-12012\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The proper functioning of the hip joint depends on various factors, including:<br \/>tendons, muscles, ligaments, and bones. If these organs are in harmony with each<br \/>other, a person will have no problems when walking. There are many factors that<br \/>can be the main causes of pain in the hip joint, which are:<br \/>Among the most important causes of hip joint destruction and wear and tear is<br \/>osteoarthritis. This disease is seen in the majority of people at any age and its<br \/>likelihood of occurring increases with age. Femoral head necrosis or blackening of<br \/>the bone head, which causes premature wear and tear. This condition is seen in<br \/>young or middle-aged people. The occurrence of this disease is seen in people who<br \/>use corticosteroids. Deformation of the acetabulum cavity, which is a type of<br \/>acetabular dysplasia, this disease can cause joint destruction and wear and may<br \/>occur between the ages of 30 and 50. Congenital dislocation of the hip joint is one<br \/>of the factors that causes arthritis in a person. Early osteoarthritis causes include<br \/>impingement of the femoral head and acetabulum socket. Due to the failure of the<br \/>acetabulum fractures to heal properly, joint destruction and wear can be expected.<br \/>If a person has one of the types of rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing<br \/>spondylitis, they should have periodic checkups to prevent hip joint destruction.<\/p><p>How to perform hip joint surgery<br \/>The anatomy of the hip joint consists of two bones next to each other. Thus, in the<br \/>upper part of the hip joint structure, the acetabulum socket, which is in the shape of<br \/>a hemisphere, is located and this socket is part of the pelvis. In the upper part of the<br \/>hip joint, the femoral head is located, which is spherically located inside the<br \/>acetabulum socket.<br \/>When an orthopedic surgeon performs surgery, he uses a special planer to scrape<br \/>the inside of the acetabulum cavity to remove the remaining cartilage and excess<br \/>bone that has been worn away from the head of the bone and shape it into a perfect<br \/>hemisphere. In the femoral head area, the orthopedic surgeon completely removes<br \/>the head of the bone from the patient&amp;#39;s body.<br \/>Next, the surgeon cuts the femoral neck, which is located between the femoral<br \/>head and the femoral shaft, using special orthopedic saws. After this cut is made,<br \/>the femoral head is completely removed.<\/p><p>In the next step, the orthopedic surgeon places a metal or plastic cup in the<br \/>acetabulum cavity and places a metal head in the femoral neck area. Finally, after<br \/>preparing both parts, they are placed inside each other. After placement, the joint<br \/>movement is checked to ensure that the artificial hip joint is properly in place.<\/p><p>Who is suitable for hip replacement?<br \/>Surgery can be helpful for people who have pain and limited mobility in the hip<br \/>area, and some people also have short legs, in which case hip replacement surgery<br \/>can be effective to some extent.<br \/>Hip replacement or hip arthroplasty is one of the methods that has been helpful in<br \/>recent years for people who need hip replacement due to joint damage caused by<br \/>diseases such as arthritis or various injuries that may occur in daily life, and it<br \/>increases the recovery process of people.<br \/>Hip replacement surgery is one of the best treatment methods for long-term<br \/>improvement of the hip for people who have not received results from other<br \/>treatment methods. By performing this surgery, pain in the hip joint can be<br \/>completely eliminated and a pain-free life can be experienced.<\/p><p>Post-surgery care for hip replacement<br \/>\uf0b7 After surgery, the patient usually complains of pain, which will be relieved<br \/>by painkillers.<br \/>\uf0b7 The patient may have shortness of breath at first, which could be due to the<br \/>anesthesia and the medications injected.<br \/>\uf0b7 But what is important is that the patient should cough and take deep breaths<br \/>to clear the lungs.<br \/>\uf0b7 It is recommended to avoid taking blood thinners to prevent blood clots.<\/p><p>The day after hip replacement<br \/>Now it is time for the patient to walk with the new joint. Physiotherapy exercises<br \/>help strengthen muscle strength and improve range of motion. The patient is asked<br \/>to get up, hold the sides of the bed, and slowly start walking.<\/p><p>One to two days after hip replacement surgery<br \/>At this stage, the patient is able to do more physical exercises and can walk with<br \/>the help of a cane or walker.

In this surgery, the damaged joints,<br \/>including the thigh bone, kneecap, and shin bone, are removed and replaced with<br \/>artificial joints (prostheses). Prostheses can be made of metal, ceramic, or heavy<br \/>plastic. Arthroplasty can be performed on many joints in the body, including the<br \/>shoulder, elbow, and ankle. However, it is most commonly performed to replace<br \/>the knee and hip joints. A doctor may recommend this surgery when other<br \/>treatments have not worked and a person may have lost the ability to move their<br \/>joints.<\/p><p>How to perform knee replacement surgery<br \/>This surgery is very sensitive and must be performed in a hospital. For knee<br \/>replacement surgery, the person must be anesthetized. Sometimes the surgeon may<br \/>use spinal anesthesia. During this surgery, the following steps are taken.<br \/>\u2022 You will need to change into an operating room gown.<br \/>\u2022 A vein in your arm will need to be prepared for the injections during the surgery.<br \/>\u2022 Sometimes a urinary catheter will be placed for the patient.<br \/>\u2022 If there is excess hair at the surgical site, it will be shaved before the procedure<br \/>begins.<br \/>\u2022 The skin at the surgical site will be cleaned with antiseptic.<br \/>\u2022 An incision will be made in the joint area.<br \/>\u2022 The damaged parts of the joint will be corrected as much as possible and removed<br \/>if necessary.<br \/>\u2022 Prostheses will be placed in the place of the previous joints.<br \/>\u2022 The incisions will be sutured.<br \/>\u2022 A sterile bandage or dressing will be placed over the sutures.<br \/>\u2022 In knee replacement surgery, an incision will be made in the knee and a<br \/>prosthesis will be inserted to replace the damaged joint.<\/p><p>\u2022 In knee replacement surgery, an incision is made on the knee and a prosthesis is<br \/>inserted to replace the damaged joint.<\/p><p>Postoperative care for knee replacement<br \/>\u2022 You will stay in the recovery room for 2 hours after your arthroplasty surgery.<br \/>Some people are discharged the same day, while others will need to stay in the<br \/>hospital. After the surgery, you should gradually try to move your foot and ankle.<br \/>This will help increase blood flow to the leg muscles.<br \/>\u2022 Your doctor may prescribe blood thinners to reduce the risk of blood clots<br \/>forming at the surgical site. Painkillers may also be prescribed to reduce pain.<br \/>\u2022 Your physical therapist will teach you exercises to do after the surgery.

A laminectomy is a type of surgery in which a surgeon removes part or all<br \/>of the lamina of a vertebra in the spine. This helps relieve pressure on the spinal<br \/>cord or nerve roots that may be caused by injury, a herniated disc, a narrowing of<br \/>the spinal canal (spinal stenosis), or a tumor. A laminectomy is only considered if<br \/>other medical treatments have not worked.<br \/>Back or neck pain can range from mild, dull, and annoying to constant, severe, and<br \/>debilitating. Pain in the spine can limit a person\u2019s ability to move and function. A<br \/>laminectomy may be done to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves, treat a disc<br \/>problem, or remove a tumor from the spine.<br \/>One of the most common reasons for a laminectomy is a herniated disc in the<br \/>spine.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8480 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo-256-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo-256-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo-256-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo-256-768x426.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo-256-1536x853.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo-256-2048x1137.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p><p><br \/>A disc can become displaced or damaged due to injury or a ruptured disc. When<br \/>the disc presses on the spinal nerves, it causes pain, and sometimes numbness or<br \/>weakness. The numbness or weakness is felt in the part of the body where the<br \/>nerve is involved, often the arms or legs. The most common symptom of a<br \/>herniated disc is sciatica. This is a sharp, shooting pain along the sciatic nerve that<br \/>spreads from the buttock to the thigh and down the leg.<br \/>If other medical treatments are not effective, surgery may be an option. Some<br \/>medical treatments for pain may include:<br \/>\uf0b7 Changes in activity<br \/>\uf0b7 Medications such as muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatory drugs, and<br \/>painkillers<br \/>\uf0b7 Spinal injections<br \/>\uf0b7 Physical rehabilitation, physical therapy, or both<br \/>\uf0b7 Occupational therapy<br \/>\uf0b7 Weight loss (if overweight)<br \/>\uf0b7 Quitting smoking<\/p><p>\uf0b7 Assistive devices, such as a back brace<\/p><p>Laminectomy is usually done for back pain or neck pain that persists after medical<br \/>treatment. Or it is done when the pain is accompanied by symptoms of nerve<br \/>damage, such as numbness or weakness in the arms or legs. Loss of bowel or<br \/>bladder control due to pressure in the neck or lower spine also usually requires<br \/>surgery.<\/p><p>What happens during a laminectomy?<br \/>A laminectomy usually requires a hospital stay. The procedures may vary<br \/>depending on your condition and the doctor&amp;#39;s procedures.<br \/>A laminectomy may be performed while you are asleep under general anesthesia.<br \/>Or it may be done while you are awake under spinal anesthesia. If spinal anesthesia<br \/>is used, you will have no sensation from your lower back down. Newer techniques<br \/>are being developed that may allow laminectomy to be performed under local<br \/>anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Your doctor will discuss this with you.<br \/>In general, a laminectomy procedure follows this procedure:<br \/>\uf0b7 You will be asked to wear a gown.<br \/>\uf0b7 An IV (intravenous) line may be placed in your arm or hand.<br \/>\uf0b7 Once you are under anesthesia, a urinary drainage catheter may be placed.<br \/>\uf0b7 If the surgical site is covered with excess hair, the hair may be removed.<br \/>\uf0b7 You will lie on your side or stomach on the operating table.<br \/>\uf0b7 The anesthesiologist will continuously monitor your heart rate, blood<br \/>pressure, breathing, and blood oxygen levels during surgery.<br \/>\uf0b7 Healthcare workers will clean the surgical site with a skin antiseptic<br \/>solution.<br \/>\uf0b7 The surgeon will make an incision over the selected vertebra.<br \/>\uf0b7 The surgeon will separate the muscles.<br \/>\uf0b7 The surgeon will remove the bony arch at the back of the vertebra (the<br \/>lamina) to relieve pressure on the nerves in the area. This may include<br \/>removing a bone spur or tumor, or removing all or part of a disc.<\/p><p>\uf0b7 In some cases, spinal fusion may be done at the same time. During spinal<br \/>fusion, the surgeon joins 2 or more bones in your spine.<br \/>\uf0b7 The incision will be closed with stitches or surgical staples.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-tabs-panel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title pp-tabs-label pp-tab-responsive   at-hover\" data-index=\"12015\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-text\">PCNL<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"pp-toggle-icon pp-tab-open fa\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content-12015\" class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content elementor-clearfix pp-advanced-tabs-tab_content \" data-tab=\"15\" data-index=\"12015\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-12015\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What is PCNL?<br \/>This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. During the<br \/>procedure, a thin tube (catheter) is inserted into the bladder. This catheter is held in<br \/>place with a balloon and drains urine from the bladder.<br \/>After the catheter is placed in the bladder, another catheter may be inserted into the<br \/>ureter (ureter). To better see the exact location of the stone, a contrast agent (dye)<br \/>is injected through this catheter. This dye helps us to image the urinary system<br \/>better during the procedure using radiology or ultrasound and to have easier access<br \/>to the kidney to remove the stone.<br \/>PCNL Procedure<br \/>Once the exact location of the stone is determined, we use a very fine needle to<br \/>access the urine collecting system in the kidney and then insert a guidewire to<br \/>create a safe path for the nephroscope to enter. A nephroscope is a tube-shaped<br \/>instrument used to look directly into the kidney.<br \/>The access path is carefully opened to allow the nephroscope to be inserted.<br \/>Some stones can be removed directly using a grasping instrument. This procedure<br \/>is called a nephrolithotomy. Larger stones may also need to be broken up with a<br \/>device such as a laser, also called a nephrolithotripsy.<br \/>After all the stones are removed, the surgeon uses a contrast agent to make sure<br \/>that no stones or fragments of them remain in the kidney. Easy movement of the<br \/>contrast agent from the bladder shows that there are no stones in the ureter.<br \/>In some patients, a small temporary tube called a Double-J may be placed to make<br \/>sure that swelling does not block the flow of urine. This catheter remains in place<br \/>in both the kidney and bladder due to its J-shaped bend. At the end of the<br \/>procedure, a urinary catheter may also be attached.<br \/>Preparations for PCNL<br \/>To best prepare for PCNL, consider the following points and remember that your<br \/>doctor&amp;#39;s instructions take priority. Some important points that your doctor may<br \/>mention include:<br \/>\uf0b7 When to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners<\/p><p>\uf0b7 A specific time to empty your bladder before surgery<br \/>\uf0b7 Planning for pain medication after surgery<br \/>\uf0b7 Coordinating with a companion to return home after surgery<br \/>\uf0b7 Abstaining from eating, drinking, or smoking for about 6 to 8 hours before<br \/>surgery (to prepare for anesthesia)<br \/>\uf0b7 The anesthesiologist will select the appropriate anesthesia method.<br \/>Preparations for PCNL<br \/>Having your companions (partner, relatives, or friends) read information about<br \/>PCNL can help you feel more relaxed and prepared. Write down your questions so<br \/>you don\u2019t forget important points when you meet with your doctor or nurse. Have a<br \/>loved one accompany you during your visit to help remind you of any questions<br \/>you missed.<br \/>What to expect after PCNL surgery?<br \/>After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery room or your room, depending on<br \/>your hospital. Nurses will regularly check your blood pressure, heart rate, and pain<br \/>level. Also, be sure to ask your nurse about your hospital visit times.<br \/>\uf0b7 JJ stent:<br \/>In some cases, a small temporary tube called a double-J stent may be placed in the<br \/>ureter to help urine flow to the bladder. This is done when the ureter is expected to<br \/>swell slightly after surgery. The JJ stent can be removed before you leave the<br \/>hospital or shortly thereafter, in a separate appointment with your doctor.<br \/>\uf0b7 Urinary catheter:<br \/>You may also have a urinary catheter inserted after surgery. This tube is inserted<br \/>through your urethra into your bladder and helps urine flow more easily. You will<br \/>also be given fluids to help you stay hydrated. The urinary catheter is usually<br \/>removed shortly after surgery (within a few days).<br \/>\uf0b7 Nephrostomy tube:<br \/>In some cases, a tube called a nephrostomy tube may be placed in your kidney<br \/>during surgery. If needed, this tube will remain in place for a short time (possibly<br \/>after you leave the hospital). The nephrostomy tube comes out of the incision in<br \/>your skin and directs blood and urine from the surgery directly from your kidney<br \/>into a special drainage bag. This tube is usually removed a few days after surgery.<\/p><p>After PCNL<br \/>You will be discharged within a few days of your surgery if you are able to empty<br \/>your bladder well and do not have a fever or severe pain. You may also experience<br \/>mild to moderate pain in your lower abdomen and a constant need to urinate. These<br \/>symptoms are usually due to the presence of a JJ catheter or stent and are not a<br \/>cause for concern. Your doctor will prescribe medication to control this pain, so be<br \/>sure to talk to your nurse or doctor if you experience any pain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-tabs-panel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title pp-tabs-label pp-tab-responsive   at-hover\" data-index=\"12016\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-text\">TUL<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"pp-toggle-icon pp-tab-open fa\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content-12016\" class=\"pp-advanced-tabs-content elementor-clearfix pp-advanced-tabs-tab_content \" data-tab=\"16\" data-index=\"12016\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"pp-advanced-tabs-title-12016\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What causes urinary tract stones?<br \/>Urinary tract stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the<br \/>kidneys of an affected person. Several factors contribute to the formation of these<br \/>types of stones, including poor diet, being overweight, inactivity, certain medical<br \/>conditions, and taking certain supplements and medications.<br \/>Kidney, ureter, and bladder stones can affect any part of your urinary tract, from<br \/>the kidneys to the bladder. Stones form when urine becomes concentrated,<br \/>allowing the minerals to crystallize and stick together, forming kidney, ureter, or<br \/>bladder stones.<\/p><p>Risk factors for developing urinary tract stones<br \/>Factors that increase your risk of developing urinary tract stones include the<br \/>following:<br \/>\uf0b7 Family or personal history: If someone in your family has had urinary tract<br \/>stones, you are more likely to develop urinary tract stones than other people.<br \/>If you have had one or more cases of urinary tract stones in the past, you are<br \/>at risk for developing urinary tract stones.<br \/>Risk factors for developing urinary tract stones<br \/>\uf0b7 Dehydration: Not drinking enough water during the day can increase your<br \/>risk of developing urinary tract stones. People who live in hot, dry climates<br \/>and those who sweat a lot may be at a higher risk of developing urinary tract<br \/>stones than others.<br \/>\uf0b7 Special diets: A diet high in protein, sodium (salt), and sugar may increase<br \/>your risk of developing some types of urinary tract stones. This is especially<br \/>true for a high-sodium diet. Too much salt in the diet increases the amount<br \/>of calcium that the kidneys have to filter, significantly increasing the risk of<br \/>developing urinary tract stones.<br \/>Dietary risk factors for urinary tract stones<br \/>\uf0b7 Obesity: A high body mass index (BMI), large waist size, and weight gain<br \/>are associated with an increased risk of developing urinary tract stones.<\/p><p>\uf0b7 Dietary diseases and surgery: Gastric bypass surgery, inflammatory bowel<br \/>disease, or chronic diarrhea can cause changes in the anatomy and processes<br \/>of the digestive tract that affect calcium and water absorption, increasing the<br \/>amount of stone-forming materials in the urine and increasing the likelihood<br \/>of developing urinary tract stones.<br \/>Other diseases, such as renal tubular acidosis, cystinuria, hyperparathyroidism, and<br \/>recurrent urinary tract infections, can also increase the risk of developing urinary<br \/>tract stones.<br \/>Some supplements and medications, such as vitamin C, dietary supplements,<br \/>laxatives (if taken in excess), calcium-based antacids, and certain medications used<br \/>to treat migraines or depression, can increase your risk of developing urinary tract<br \/>stones.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8474 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC04303-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC04303-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC04303-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC04303-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC04303-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mohebmehr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC04303-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p><p><br \/>What is TUL?<br \/>A TUL is a common procedure for treating the worst types of kidney, ureter, and<br \/>bladder stones, in which the stone can be removed through a special telescope, or<br \/>in special cases, a laser can be used to break the stone into very small pieces.<\/p><p>What is TUL?<br \/>A TUL is performed under general anesthesia or in an operating room under<br \/>general anesthesia. Depending on the stone and your anatomy, a TUL can take<br \/>anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours and can be very simple or quite complex.<br \/>In a TUL, your doctor will first look inside your bladder and insert a special<br \/>guidewire into your ureter. X-rays may be done before the actual procedure to<br \/>locate the stone, and this is done with the help of real-time X-rays (called<br \/>fluoroscopy).<br \/>Depending on the location of the stone, a shorter, semi-rigid scope or a longer,<br \/>flexible ureteroscope is inserted into the ureter until the stone is found. Sometimes<br \/>during a TUL procedure, the ureter must be dilated with a special balloon so that<br \/>the scope can be inserted.<br \/>A ureteroscope is a special, very thin instrument used to directly view and<br \/>visualize the inside of the ureter. Some ureteroscopes are like a very long, flexible<\/p><p>straw. Other types of ureteroscopes are more rigid and sturdy. Overall, a large<br \/>number of procedures are performed each year using a ureteroscope.<\/p><p>What is TUL aftercare?<br \/>After the TUL procedure, to achieve the best results, some care is needed, which<br \/>we will introduce and review in detail below:<br \/>\uf0b7 After the TUL procedure, ask someone to drive you home from the hospital.<br \/>Once you get home, you will need to rest.<br \/>\uf0b7 Most people can return to their normal daily activities after the TUL<br \/>procedure after 1 or 2 days of recovery and the necessary aftercare after the<br \/>TUL procedure.<br \/>\uf0b7 In the weeks following the TUL procedure, drink plenty of water. This will<br \/>help pass any remaining stone fragments. In this case, your doctor or<br \/>surgeon may give you a medication called an alpha blocker to make it easier<br \/>for stone fragments to pass through your urinary tract.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f0c96c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1f0c96c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>list of surgeries: Angiography Angioplasty Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Abdominal aortic aneurysm Abdominoplasty Cholecystectomy colorectal surgery Cystoscopy dialysis fistula Discectomy Gastric Sleeve Surgery Hip replacement Knee replacement surgery Laminectomy PCNL TUL Angiography An angiography is a diagnostic procedure that uses X-ray images to look forblockages or narrow spots in your blood vessels (arteries or veins).
