What are the Diseases Treated

Rectal Prolapse

It is a condition where the patient’s rectum slides out of his/her anus. People with rectal prolapse may experience anal discharge or itchiness, mass protruding, gastrointestinal constipation, or leaking stool. Although early stages of this disease may be treated with conservative measures, almost all the patients would eventually need to be treated with surgery.

Treatment

Laparoscopic rectopexy has become the gold standard as far as the standard treatment of rectal prolapse is concerned. This surgical process involves reversing the prolapse and then fixing the rectum either using a synthetic mesh or without using it.For the best results, make sure to consult the best laparoscopic surgery doctor in Nashik.

Colon Cancer

It is the cancer of the large intestine and is usually observed in older individuals but can sometimes occur in younger people. Most colon cancers start as a benign polyp and gradually become cancerous. If you are diagnosed with a polyp, comprehensive treatment is achieved by endoscopic methods.

Individuals affected by cancer of the colon may experience the following symptoms, but some may be asymptomatic.

• Weight loss
• Blood in stools
• Fatigue or weakness
• Abdominal discomfort or pain
• Change in regular bowel habits

Treatment

The different treatment options for colon cancer include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery, targeted therapy, and other approaches. The treatment method offered to an individual would depend on his condition and the stage of cancer.

Laparoscopic Surgery

If colon cancer is in the early stages, surgery can be cured and may not require any additional therapy. Laparoscopic colon surgery in Nashik is a well-established treatment option and gives you benefits like reduced discomfort and fast recovery.

Rectal Cancer

The rectum is the bottom section of the intestine that extends to the anus. Cancer of the rectum is quite similar to colon cancer in its symptoms and risk factors.Therefore, doctors and surgeons often combine both the terms and refer to both as colorectal cancer. Their treatment approach, however, can have slight differences. Symptoms experienced with rectal cancer are as follows:

• Blood in stools
• Changes bowel habits
• Narrow stools
• Discomfort or pain in the abdomen
• Mucus in stools
• Fatigue or weakness
• The feeling of incomplete defecation
• Sudden weight loss

Laparoscopic Surgery

The most common treatment procedure used for rectal cancer is the surgical removal of the anus. Rectum surgery in Nashik involves a surgical procedure called an abdominoperineal resection (APR) performed by removal of cancer that is close to the patient’s anus. The APR procedure is followed by removal of the anus with cancer, while the cut end of the individual’s large intestine is joined to the abdominal wall, forming a colostomy. Some patients, however, need additional therapy depending on the stage of cancer.

Laparoscopic Surgery of IBD

IBD or inflammatory bowel disease may include different causes of inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which are as follows:

• Crohn’s Disease: It causes inflammation of the GI tract, including the small bowel
• Ulcerative Colitis: It usually causes ulcers of the rectum and the large bowel

Suppose you have been experiencing mucus and blood in stools, pain in the abdomen, diarrhoea, or sudden weight loss. In that case, you should talk to the best gastrointestinal surgery specialist in Nashik. The diseases can be cured with medications, but individuals with complications may need to undergo laparoscopic surgery. Some of the patients may develop outpouchings in their GI tract, which may also require laparoscopic surgery.
