Abdominal Pain Treatment in Vanasthalipuram

We offer expert abdominal pain treatment in Vanasthalipuram, diagnosing and managing conditions such as gall bladder stones and appendicitis with advanced laparoscopic techniques.

LAPAROSCOPIC GALLBLADDER REMOVAL (CHOLECYSTECTOMY)

Gallstones are hard deposits that form in the gallbladder, causing severe pain, nausea, and digestive problems. When gallstones become symptomatic, removal of the gallbladder is the definitive treatment. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard, offering minimal invasion and quick recovery.

Indications for Surgery:

  • Recurrent biliary colic (severe abdominal pain)
  • Acute or chronic cholecystitis
  • Gallstone pancreatitis
  • Gallbladder polyps larger than 1cm
  • Symptomatic gallstones

The Laparoscopic Procedure:

  • Performed under general anesthesia
  • 4 small incisions (5-10mm)
  • Camera and specialized instruments used
  • Complete gallbladder removal
  • Duration: 45-90 minutes
  • Same-day or next-day discharge

Advantages:

  • Minimal scarring (4 tiny marks)
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Faster return to normal diet
  • Lower infection risk
  • Quick recovery (7-10 days)

Post-Surgery: Living without a gallbladder doesn’t significantly affect digestion. Most patients resume normal diet within days, though we recommend low-fat meals initially.

LAPAROSCOPIC APPENDECTOMY

Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix requiring urgent surgical removal to prevent rupture and serious complications. Laparoscopic appendectomy has largely replaced open surgery due to its numerous advantages.

Recognizing Appendicitis:

  • Pain starting around navel, moving to right lower abdomen
  • Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting
  • Low-grade fever
  • Inability to pass gas
  • Abdominal tenderness

Emergency Response: We understand appendicitis is an emergency. Contact us immediately if you suspect appendicitis, and we’ll prioritize your evaluation and treatment.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy Benefits:

  • 3 small incisions instead of one large cut
  • Better visualization of abdominal cavity
  • Thorough washing of abdomen
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Faster mobilization
  • Early discharge (24-48 hours)
  • Lower wound infection rates
  • Better cosmetic results

Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, compared to 3-4 weeks with open surgery.
