What Does a Gastroenterologist Do?
Gastroenterologists are doctors who specialise in diagnosing and treating disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that deals with the digestive system, often known as the gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal system is responsible for food digestion, nutritional absorption, and waste disposal from the body.
You might see a gastroenterologist if you're having problems with your:
- Oesophagus, the tube that connects your mouth to your stomach
- Small intestine
- Colon
- Rectum
- Pancreas
- Gallbladder
- Bile ducts
- Liver
What is an Appendectomy?
The appendix( 3 1/2-inch-long tube tissue), which is located in the right bottom region of the abdomen, is surgically removed during an appendectomy. This procedure is generally done in an emergency to treat appendicitis (inflamed appendix). This may occur as a result of an obstruction in part of the appendix. An appendectomy is another term used for this procedure.
Some of the symptoms
- Downward right abdominal discomfort or pain around the navel that goes lower. The first symptom is usually this.
- Appetite loss.
- Fever
- Soon after the stomach pains start, nausea and vomiting start.
- Severe cramps
- unable to pass gas
The type of operation you have will depend on how severe your appendicitis is.
- An incision is made into the skin, underlying tissue, and the abdominal wall to reach the appendix during an open appendectomy.
- Laparoscopic appendectomy The surgeon makes an incision around your belly button and inserts a tiny device known as a port after you are asleep. Your surgeon can fill the abdomen with gas through the port, which produces an opening. This frees up room to carry out the procedure. The port is then used to introduce a tiny camera. On a screen in the operating room, the camera shows the surgery. Once the surgeon can see clearly, they put in more ports to insert long, narrow instruments Finally, your appendix is gently disconnected and removed through one of the incisions. Most of the procedures require three incisions, although this might range from one to four depending on the conditions.
Your surgery will be more complicated if your appendix has burst. When your appendix bursts, your doctor will need to clean up the infection that spilt out. As a result, your cuts may be bigger, and you may have to spend a longer time in the operating room. You'll probably have to stay in the hospital for 3-5 days. You will be given IV antibiotics for the infection in your abdomen while you are there.
After Surgery
You will be taken to the recovery room after surgery. Your vital indicators, such as heart rate and respiration, will be monitored by your healthcare staff. The sort of surgery you underwent and the type of anaesthetic you had will determine how quickly you recover. You will be transferred to your hospital room once your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing have normalized and you are awake and conscious. After surgery, most patients are discharged in one to two days. After leaving the hospital, you should be able to continue normal activities in 2 to 4 weeks. You'll probably heal fast if you underwent laparoscopic surgery. If your appendix has ruptured or an abscess has developed, recovery will be delayed and more difficult. Living without an appendix causes no known health problems.
