Principles of Surgery: Let’s get to know more

Human tissues due to their natural innate properties react to the injury in a different way. This procedure is called as the mechanism of optimal healing. These are generally known as the principles of surgery.

The decision to surgery is taken based on the facts,

•                 Full medical history of the patients.
•          And the radiographic findings, laboratory investigations, and many others.
•          The necessities of the surgery include,
•          Adequate visibility and the surgical field free of excess blood and other fluids.

After the surgical procedures, the aseptic techniques to be maintained remains as one of the challenges in the field of surgical infection. There comes

•          Medical Asepsis
•          Surgical Asepsis

Incision, flap design, preventing the flap necrosis and flap dehiscence are some of the key facts to be described in the field of surgery.

Hemostasis can be maintained by preserving the patient’s oxygen-carrying capacity and the blood loss which will prevent the formation of hematomas.

Dead space management will also be carefully by the surgeon (Dead Space-area that remains devoid of tissue after the wound closure).

Obesity surgery -Aims and Scope!!!

Due to the change in the lifestyle and changing food habits obesity has become the one of the common problems and the field of surgery related to obesity also gains the great importance.
Some of the common obesity surgeries includes:

• Adjustable gastric banding

• Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

• Biliopancreatic diversion

• Sleeve gastrectomy

• One anastomosis gastric bypass

How much weight will the person lose after the bariatric surgery?

The weight loss will be lost gradually, and it is found to commence after the surgical procedures are completed. The amount weight loss generally depends on the patient, i.e it depends on how the patient follows the healthy eating habits, diet and exercise. The normal range of weight loss would be 0.5-1 .0 Kg/week. Totally the long-term weight loss would be expected about 50-60% of the excess weight.
The continuous follow-up with the bariatric clinic clearly shows the follow-up for the successful weight loss. The patients are strictly instructed to follow the dietary instruction as per the guidelines given by the dietician and the multivitamin supplements are also found to be suggested.

ROBOT ASSISTED SURGERY: A MODERN APPROACH TO CONVENTIONAL SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Robotics or Robot-assisted surgery integrates the use of advanced computer technology with the experience of the skilled surgery professionals. This technology provides the surgeon with a 10x magnification, high definition, 3D- image of the body’s inner anatomy.

The surgeons generally use controls in the console to manipulate the specific surgical instruments that are smaller as well as more flexible and accurate than the human hand. The reason why the robotics-assisted surgery came into the picture is to minimize the limitations of the pre-existing minimally invasive surgery and to enhance the efficiency of the surgeons who perform the conventional open surgery. The three important cardiac surgery performed by means of the robot-assisted techniques is Atrial septal defect repair, Mitral valve repair, and coronary artery bypass. Robot-assisted surgery proves it incredible use in the field of the gynecological surgery. Gynecological procedure taken place with robot-assisted surgery may reduce the hospital stays the best example for the short hospital stays may be proven in case of the hysterectomy. Certain researchers are also carried out for its use in the field of spine surgery procedures. Surgical robotics techniques are also used in the field of pediatrics to perform various types of surgery for example hernia repair surgery and many others.
