Lap/ Open Appendectomy
Appendectomy involves a incision near the belly button to insert a laparoscope, which helps inflate the abdomen with gas for better visibility and space to operate. The appendix is removed through additional small incisions. If complications arise, the procedure may switch to an open appendectomy. Procedures involve sealing the appendix area and draining fluids, with possible post-operative drainage if needed.
Anal Fistula
An anal fistula is a painful condition involving a tunnel from an abscess to the skin near the anus, causing discomfort during bowel movements. Anal fissures are tears in the rectum’s lining, leading to pain and bleeding. It’s essential to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, which may include surgery for persistent cases. While discussing these symptoms might be embarrassing, professional advice is important for relief and to rule out conditions like hemorrhoids. Surgical treatment is often the last resort after other therapies fail. These issues are common and manageable with proper medical care.
