Sleeve gastrectomy is a weight-loss surgery that removes part of the stomach. It’s less invasive than some other bariatric surgeries. Patients typically experience improved weight management and health benefits.

Sleeve gastrectomy with hiatal hernia repair combines weight-loss surgery and hernia treatment. The procedure reduces stomach size and fixes the hernia. It limits food intake and resolves hernia-related discomfort. This dual approach enhances digestion and promotes weight loss.

Converting a gastric band to sleeve gastrectomy revises prior weight-loss surgery. This process removes the band and creates a smaller stomach. It boosts weight loss and lowers band-related complications. Sleeve gastrectomy provides steadier results and simpler upkeep. Patients often find better satiety and food tolerance.

A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm. It’s often found near the chest. To diagnose, doctors use tests like endoscopy or a barium swallow. These reveal the stomach’s position and hernia’s size. Symptoms might include heartburn or difficulty swallowing.

An inguinal hernia is located in the groin area. This can sometimes be diagnosed by a physician exam. If the hernia is not apparent on a physical exam an ultrasound, CT or MRI may be ordered.

A bilateral inguinal hernia occurs in both sides of the groin area. It’s often diagnosed through a physician’s exam. If not visible during the exam, further tests like ultrasound, CT, or MRI are needed. These imaging techniques help confirm the hernia’s presence and assess its severity. Symptoms can include pain or a bulge in the groin.

An umbilical hernia is in the belly button region. This is normally diagnosed by an exam, but sometimes diagnostic testing such as an ultrasound or CT may be ordered.

A ventral hernia happens when tissue bulges through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. It’s commonly found near surgical incisions. To diagnose, physical exams and imaging tests like CT scans are used. These help doctors see the hernia’s size and location. Symptoms may include a visible lump and discomfort.

Cyst removal is a procedure to eliminate fluid-filled sacs from the body. It’s typically done through minor surgery. The process involves making a small incision to extract the cyst. Local anesthesia is often used, making it a low-pain procedure. Cyst removal prevents infection and relieves discomfort. It’s quick, with a short recovery time.

Diagnostic laparoscopy is a minimally invasive method to inspect abdominal organs. Small incisions allow a camera-tube, the laparoscope, to enter. It accurately diagnoses conditions like hernias or internal pain sources. This approach results in less pain and faster recovery than open surgery. Laparoscopy provides a detailed internal view, ensuring precise diagnoses.

This surgery is used to treat severe reflux. Prior to surgery, common testing could include one or more of the following: a barium swallow, endoscopy, and sometimes an esophageal manometry.
