  • Information for Patients Having a Sigmoid Colectomy
    Patient information – Pre-operative Assessment Clinic Information for patients having a sigmoid colectomy This leaflet will explain what will happen when you come to the hospital for your operation. It is important that you understand what to expect and feel able to take an active role in your treatment. Your surgeon will have already discussed your treatment with you and will give advice about what to do when you get home. What is a sigmoid colectomy? This operation involves removing the sigmoid colon, which lies on the left side of your abdominal cavity (tummy). We would then normally join the remaining left colon to the top of the rectum (the ‘storage’ organ of the bowel). The lines on the attached diagram show the piece of bowel being removed. This operation is done with you asleep (general anaesthetic). The operation not only removes the bowel containing the tumour but also removes the draining lymph glands from this part of the bowel. This is sent to the pathologists who will then analyse each bit of the bowel and the lymph glands in detail under the microscope. This operation can often be completed in a ‘keyhole’ manner, which means less trauma to the abdominal muscles, as the biggest wound is the one to remove the bowel from the abdomen. Sometimes, this is not possible, in which case the same operation is done through a bigger incision in the abdominal wall – this is called an ‘open’ operation. It does take longer to recover with an open operation but, if it is necessary, it is the safest thing to do.

When you eat, food travels from the Digestive Tract mouth to the stomach. It then moves to the small intestine, where digestion is completed. Here, the nutrients from the food are absorbed for use by your body. The unused parts of the food will then pass into the colon, which collects the stool and absorbs water from the remaining material. By the time this waste reaches the rectum, it is in a solid form. When the waste leaves the body, it is called a bowel movement (BM), stool or feces.

  • Chapter 1 History of Laparoscopic Surgery
    Chapter 1 History of Laparoscopic Surgery Kiyokazu Nakajima, Jeffrey W. Milsom, and Bartholomäus Böhm Although laparoscopic surgery has transformed surgery only in the past two decades, its evolution is only the natural byproduct of the medical doctor’s curiosity to directly visualize and treat surgical dis- eases. The earliest known attempts to look inside the living human body date from 460 to 375 BC, from the Kos school of medicine led by Hippocrates in Greece.1,2 They described a rectal examination using a speculum remarkably similar to the instruments we use today. Similar specula were discovered in the ruins of Pompeii (70 AD) that were used to examine the vagina, the cervix, and the rectum, and obtain an inside view of the nose and ear.1 The Babylonian Talmud written in 500 AD described a lead siphon, named “Siphophert,” with a mouthpiece, which was bent inward and held a mechul (wooden drain).1,3 The apparatus was introduced into the vagina and was used to differentiate between vaginal and uterine bleeding. During these early years ambient light was used. The term “endoscopein” is attributed to Avicenna (Ibn Sina, 980–1037 AD) of Persia, although an Arabian physician, Albulassim (912–1013 AD), who placed a mirror in front of the exposed vagina, was the fi rst to use refl ected light as a source of illumination for an endoscopic examination. Giulio Caesare Aranzi in Venice (1530–1589) developed the fi rst endoscopic light in 1587. He used the Benedictine monk Don Panuce’s principle of the “camera obscura” for medical purposes – the

  • Mucocele of the Appendix - Appendectomy Or Colectomy?
    Original Article Mucocele of the appendix - appendectomy or colectomy? JANDUÍ GOMES DE ABREU FILHO1, ERIVALDO FERNANDES DE LIRA1 1Service of Coloproctology of Hospital de Base do Distrito Federal (HBDF), Secretariat of Health in Distrito Federal - Brasília (DF), Brazil. FILHO JGDA; LIRA EFD. Mucocele of the appendix - appendectomy or colectomy? Rev bras Coloproct, 2011;31(3): 276-284. ABSTRACT: Mucocele of the appendix is a rare disease. It can be triggered by benign or malignant diseases, which cause the obstruc- tion of the appendix and the consequent accumulation of mucus secretion. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult due to non-specific clinical manifestations of the disease. Imaging tests can suggest the diagnosis. The treatment is always surgical and depends on the integrity and size of the appendix base and on the histological type of the original lesion. The prognosis is good in cases of integrity of the appendix. The perforation of the appendix and subsequent extravasation of its contents into the abdominal cavity may lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei, which has very poor prognosis if not treated properly.

  • Hybrid Procedure Offers a Less Invasive Alternative to Colectomy
    The better way to get better Hybrid procedure offers a less invasive alternative to colectomy Insufflation gas provides important advantage The colonoscopy-laparoscopy procedure is made possible through the combined skills of the gastroenterologist and laparoscopic surgeon, and the use of CO2 rather than ambient air for insufflation — the introduction of gas into the colon to improve visibility. CO2 is more quickly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and results in less bowel distension, giving the laparoscopic surgeon a better field of vision within the abdominal cavity. © Copyright Olympus.

  • Operative Laparoscopy
    Operative Laparoscopy Technique Procedure involves the placement of a laparoscope (special telescope with a video camera attached) into the abdomen at the belly button. The pelvis including the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder and appendix are all visualized to determine the source of the patient's problem. The treatment necessary is determined based upon what the surgeon sees during this exam. Potential treatments include ovarian cyst removal, ovarian removal, excision or destruction of endometriosis, and removal of scar tissue. Incisions 3-4 small incisions (less than one inch) are made on the abdomen for this procedure. Operative Time Operative times vary greatly depending on the findings at the time of surgery. Your surgeon will proceed with safety as his/her first priority. Average times range from 45-90 minutes. Anesthesia General anesthesia Preoperative Care Nothing by mouth after midnight The procedure is usually scheduled immediately after your menstrual period. Hospital Stay Day surgery or 23 hour observation Postoperative Care These guidelines are intended to give you a general idea of your postoperative course. Since every patient is unique and has a unique procedure, your recovery may differ. You will be prescribed both an anti-inflammatory and a narcotic pain medicine for postoperative use. We recommend that anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, etc., be used on a scheduled (regular) basis and that narcotic pain medicine be utilized on an "as needed" basis. Driving is allowed after your procedure only when you do not require the narcotic pain medicine to manage your pain. Patients may return to work in 2-3 days following the procedure.
