List of Treatments

• Bowel Obstruction Treatment: Patients who have an intestinal blockage are admitted to the hospital. Intravenous (IV) fluids, bowel rest with nothing to eat (NPO), and, in certain cases, bowel decompression via a nasogastric tube (a tube put into the nose and leading straight to the stomach) are all part of the treatment.

• Crohn's Disease Treatment: Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory illness of the digestive system. It has the potential to impact any area of your digestive tract, from your mouth to your anus. Most Crohn's disease patients require the use of steroids (such as prednisolone) on a regular basis. Steroid medications: assist with symptoms by lowering inflammation in the digestive tract.

• Transesophageal Echocardiography – TEE: The transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) exam creates images of your heart. TEE creates comprehensive images of your heart and the arteries that go to and from it using high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound). It is frequently performed when your doctor wants to examine your heart more closely to check if it is generating blood clots.

• Anti Reflux Procedures: This type of procedure is used for the treatment of conditions in which food or stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus from the stomach. This entails stitching the hole in your diaphragm shut to prevent your stomach from bulging upward through the muscle wall opening. To strengthen the healed region, some surgeons insert a piece of mesh. Stitch the upper section of your stomach around the end of your esophagus.

• Whipple Surgery: is a complicated procedure that involves removing the pancreatic head, the first section of the small intestine (duodenum), the gallbladder, and the bile duct. The Whipple surgery is used to treat tumors and other pancreatic, intestinal, and bile duct diseases.

• Appendectomy: If you have appendicitis, your appendix will be removed. When the appendix becomes infected, surgery is performed to remove it. Appendicitis is the medical term for this ailment. An appendectomy is a frequent emergency procedure. The appendix is a small pouch connected to the big intestine. It is located in the bottom right quadrant of your abdomen.

• Hemorrhoidectomy: A hemorrhoidectomy is surgery to remove internal or external hemorrhoids. These are anal veins that have swelled. During this procedure, the doctor will remove the enlarged veins. Surgery is rarely used as the first line of therapy. When everything else fails, hemorrhoidectomy is a safe, effective procedure that does more than merely make hemorrhoids less bothersome.

• Partial Colectomy: Part of the colon is removed during a partial colectomy, which is also known as a subtotal colectomy. Hemicolectomy is the surgical removal of either the right or left side of the colon. The colon and rectum are both removed during a proctocolectomy.

• Nissen Fundoplication: A Nissen fundoplication is a surgical procedure that is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To avoid acid reflux, a surgeon constructs a sphincter (tightening muscle) at the bottom of the oesophagus during the surgery.To avoid acid reflux, the operation tightens the connection between the oesophagus and the stomach.

• Endoscopy: An endoscopy is a procedure that allows you to see within the structure of your body. An endoscope is a long, thin tube with a tiny camera inside that is introduced into your body through a natural orifice such as your mouth. If you have specific symptoms, your doctor may recommend you for an endoscopy. It is normally performed in a hospital endoscopy unit.
