Bariatric Surgery

What is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery or weight loss surgery is a surgical procedure performed on individuals who are severely obese. This surgery is typically recommended to individuals who attempted other weight loss methods and were unsuccessful and have critical health problems. Bariatric surgery aims to reduce the size of the stomach to restrict the quantity of food the person eats or absorbs.

What are the Types of Bariatric Surgery?

Each type of bariatric surgery has its own advantages and disadvantages. Your bariatric surgeon decides which type of surgery is suitable for you according to your health history and overall health condition. Here are some common types of bariatric surgery:

  • Sleeve Gastrectomy: In this surgery, the stomach is detached from its surrounding organs, and using surgical staples approximately 80 to 85% of the stomach is removed from the body. The remaining stomach which is the shape of a banana holds less food than earlier and eventually helps consume fewer calories. By removing the majority of the stomach our hunger is reduced and we can maintain an optimal body weight.
  • Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB): Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most effective bariatric surgeries. In this type of surgery, the stomach is divided into two portions. The first is the size of an egg and the other portion ( larger part) is the remaining stomach. The larger part of the stomach is bypassed from the rest by using surgical staples. The doctor then attaches the smaller stomach to a part of the small intestine (Roux limb). The food you consume reaches the smaller portion of the stomach, bypassing the remaining stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. This means you consume less than you used to earlier which reduces the amount of calories you absorb.
  • Gastric banding: Gastric banding is a procedure wherein a silicon band is placed on the top portion of the stomach, creating a small pouch. This limits the amount of food an individual can consume and decelerates the emptying of the stomach.
  • Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS): This procedure is the same as gastric bypass surgery. The procedure begins by creating a small tube-shaped stomach pouch and bypassing the remaining stomach. Once the pouch is made, a part of the small intestine is detached and tied up to the newly created pouch. This allows the food to reach the sleeve pouch and eventually helps consume fewer calories.

What Happens During a Bariatric Surgery?

Before undergoing bariatric surgery or any surgery, a patient goes through a pre-operative phase that helps them prepare for the procedure. Every surgery including bariatric surgery has a pre-operative, surgical procedure, and post-operative phase that helps ensure a successful outcome.

During the preoperative phase of bariatric surgery, the surgeon will conduct a physical assessment, medical check, and tests to assess whether the patient is fit for the procedure.

Once in the operating room, the patient will be given anesthesia to ensure they do not feel any pain during the surgery. Once the anesthesia is given, the surgeon will create certain incisions (cuts) to locate the intestines and stomach. Your healthcare provider can create one or more incisions depending on the surgery being performed (laparoscopic or open surgery)

Once the incisions are made, the surgeon will perform the necessary steps according to the technique selected. The procedure can be either resizing the stomach and modifying a portion of the small intestine or placing a silicon band on top of the stomach to create a small pouch. All these ways help limit the amount of food an individual can consume. Thereafter, the surgeon will close the incisions using staples or sutures.

The patient is then monitored for some time as soon as they wake up from the anesthesia. Depending on the surgical procedure, the patient stays for a day or two and is expected to follow certain post-operative tips to recover well.

What are the Advantages of Bariatric Surgery?

One of the biggest advantages of bariatric surgery is that it helps severely obese people lose significant and sustained weight loss. However, there are more benefits of this surgery than just helping people lose weight. Here are some common benefits that are beyond just losing weight:

  • Remission for type 2 diabetes: Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective surgery that helps in the long-term treatment of type 2 diabetes. The patient can be insulin-free for at least 3 to 4 years after surgery.
  • Better cardiovascular health: Weight loss surgery like bariatric surgery can help in treating cardiovascular conditions like arrhythmias, heart failure, stroke, and hypertension. Also, it is generally seen that cholesterol and blood pressure levels return to normal, enhancing overall health.
  • Lower risk of certain cancers: According to the National Care Institute, medical experts have found a link between excessive weight and cancer risk. Research conveys that excess fat in the body can lead to several types of cancer like kidney and pancreatic cancers, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer.
  • Solves the issue of obstructive sleep apnea: Sleep apnea is a sleep illness wherein breathing repeatedly stops and starts. One of the biggest risk factors for sleep apnea is obesity. Patients suffering from sleep apnea use a CPAP machine to breathe properly. This machine has a hose that is connected to a mask ( that is worn by the patient) that delivers constant air pressure to breathe adequately. Losing excessive weight allows individuals to stop using the CPAP machine

How to Prepare for Bariatric Surgery?

Some of the steps to follow before bariatric surgery?

  • Undergo research before your weight loss surgery. This can be achieved by speaking to people who have undergone bariatric procedures or learning from the information on the internet. Doing your homework helps you have genuine expectations of the surgery.
  • Your bariatric surgeon may conduct a medical evaluation to determine your eligibility for the procedure. Therefore, undergo the assessment and diagnostic tests as ordered by your healthcare provider.
  • Your doctor might ask you to lose certain weight before surgery to minimize surgical risks. Ensure you do the same by practicing the steps as advised by him.
  • Follow a pre-operative diet as recommended by your surgeon. The diet may include a low-calorie and high-protein diet, like lean protein and plant-based options, to shrink the liver and enhance surgical safety.
  • Be fully informed of the type of bariatric surgery, its risks and advantages, and the pre-operative guidelines to follow after the procedure. This will help you have pragmatic and sensible expectations of the procedure.

What are the Recovery Tips to Follow After Bariatric Surgery?

Here are some post-operative tips to follow after bariatric surgery:

  • You might not be able to sleep properly on your side after surgery. If that's the case, use a post-surgery pillow that can provide you with extra support.
  • Don't immediately start with solid food after the procedure. Instead consume low-carb and protein-rich options. Also, ensure to chew your food properly.
  • Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. Skip drinks that have high-calorie content.
  • Wear loose fitting clothes that will not rub against your incisions.
  • After every meal, wash or sanitize your hands properly to minimize the chances of complications during your recovery period.

What Is Oncology?

Oncology refers to the study of cancer. It is a specialty of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of people who are suspected of cancer or are dealing with cancer. Oncology involves medical oncology, surgical oncology, hematology-oncology, radiation oncology, gynecology oncology, preventive medicine, pediatric oncology, palliative medicine, and much more. Our comprehensive treatment approach ensures that international patients receive the best care tailored to their specific requirements.

Who Is An Oncologist?

An oncologist is a healthcare expert who holds training in the diagnosis and treatment of people suffering from cancer. They are generally a part of a multidisciplinary team, involving radiologists, pathologists, palliative care specialists, and nurse oncologists. There are oncologists that specialize in treating specific types of cancer. Medical oncologists are doctors who treat cancer using chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy. Surgical oncologists are involved in removing the cancerous tissue during the surgery. Whereas, a radiation oncologist treats cancer using radiotherapy.

What Conditions Do Oncologists Treat?

Oncologists at Marengo Asia Hospitals hold extensive experience in diagnosing and treating several types of cancer, including:

  • Lung cancer
  • Liver cancer
  • Biliary cancers
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Brain tumors
  • Head and neck cancers
  • Colon cancer
  • Sarcomas
  • Melanoma
  • Nonmelanoma skin cancer
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Kidney cancer
  • Neuroendocrine tumors
  • Rectal cancer
  • Ovarian cancer
  • Other gynecological cancers
  • Prostate cancer

What Are The Various Tests Performed To Diagnose Cancer?

No single test can detect cancer. Your healthcare provider will often start by obtaining your full medical and family history and conducting a physical examination. For our international patients, the medical team at Marengo Asia Hospitals will ensure that all the necessary medical records and histories from their home country are obtained, reviewed, and translated if needed to assist in diagnosis. Our physicians may utilize various laboratory tests, imaging studies, and biopsies. A biopsy is still, for the most part, the surest way to confirm the presence of cancer, as it lets the doctor see the tissue under a microscope. We provide comprehensive support for international patients throughout such procedures, ensuring that every test is clearly explained and all results are promptly and accurately communicated.

Here are some common tests and procedures utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer:

  • Blood chemistry test: This test gauges the quantity of substances that are released into the blood by various organs and tissues. These substances include metabolites, fats, sugars, electrolytes, and much more. The levels of these substances (high or low) indicate the presence of a disease or side effects of a treatment.
  • Biopsy: A biopsy is a procedure that involves extracting a small tissue from the cancerous area. The tissue is then examined to know if cancer cells are present. There are various ways of conducting a biopsy, which include: needle biopsy, surgical biopsy, or endoscopic biopsy.
  • Tumor marker tests: These tests compute the substances that are made by cancer cells in the body. Tumor markers are developed by both normal cells and cancer cells, however, the quantity produced differs in each case. The number of tumor markers produced by cancer cells is much more than that produced by normal cells. These tests are highly effective in diagnosing cancer and deciding the course of treatment.
  • Bone scan: Imaging tests are also very useful in diagnosing cancer. In these tests, pictures of organs are taken that help the healthcare expert see if a tumor is present. A bone scan is an imaging scan that helps detect the damage in bones. This scan can help diagnose bone cancer or determine whether cancer has reached bones from another body part (called metastatic bone tumors).
  • PET scan: This is also a type of imaging test that helps in producing clear and 3-D pictures of organs inside the body to determine the presence of cancer. In a PET scan images are produced of the area that absorbs glucose. Cancer cells absorb more glucose than normal cells, hence cancer cells can be easily identified in this imaging test.

How Is Cancer Treated?

There are various treatment options for cancer such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, stem cell or bone marrow treatments, targeted therapies, etc. However, the treatment of cancer chosen by the doctor depends on various factors such as the extent of cancer, the type of cancer, age, and overall health of the patient, and other individual factors.

Any treatment option that is chosen by the healthcare provider, be it surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, can be a primary cancer treatment. However, surgery is the most common type of treatment for cancer. During the surgical procedure, the cancerous tissue and the surrounding tissue are excised from the site. This treatment option is typically adopted when cancer is localized and has not stretched to other body parts.

Palliative care also plays a huge role in the treatment of cancer. This form of treatment focuses on enhancing the quality of life of the patient by improving the symptoms and stress of a grave condition like cancer. Palliative care not only enhances the condition of the patient but also of the family by providing them with emotional support. It helps the patient throughout their cancer treatment journey, regardless of their stage. This care is provided alongside other treatment options for cancer.

For our international patients, we ensure that all treatment options for cancer are discussed in a straightforward manner and the plan is personalized according to their needs. We also provide dedicated support to guide you and your family through every step of your treatment, making the process as smooth and encouraging as possible.

What Are Some Of The Sub-Specialties Within Oncology And The Surgeries Associated With Them?

Below is a comprehensive list of the main sub-specialties within oncology and the surgeries/treatments associated with them.

  1. Medical Oncology: Medical oncology is a subspecialty concerned with the treatment of cancer, particularly with drugs. This includes chemotherapy, which is the use of drugs to kill or just stop the growth of cancerous cells; targeted therapy, which specifically attacks the cancerous cells with minimal harm to the normal cells; immunotherapy, enhancement of the body's immune system in fighting cancer; hormonal therapy, blockage, or removal of hormones to slow down or stop the growth of cancer. Bone marrow or stem cell transplantation is also used in medical oncology to replace damaged bone marrow with healthy cells.
  2. Radiation Oncology: It involves using high-energy radiation in the treatment of cancer, including techniques such as External Beam Radiation Therapy. EBRT applies radiation from a machine outside the body to the tumor being treated. Other techniques include brachytherapy, where radioactive material is positioned inside or close to the tumor. Proton therapy is also a form of radiation that utilizes protons instead of X-rays for more precise targeting, while IORT is intraoperative radiation therapy, which involves radiation treatment in the operating room to help treat the site of your cancer directly.
  3. Surgical Oncology: Surgical oncology is the branch of oncology that involves the surgical removal of tumors and surrounding tissues. Key procedures include tumor resection-the surgical removal of a tumor, mastectomy and lumpectomy for the treatment of breast cancer, prostatectomy for prostate cancer, colectomy for colon cancer, and the Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer.
  4. Hematologic Oncology: Hematologic oncology concentrates on cancers of the blood, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Treatments coming under this sub-specialty include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and bone marrow or stem cell transplant. These treatments are given to destroy cancerous cells in the blood and bone marrow, restore normal production of blood cells, and control disease progression and symptoms.
  5. Gynecologic Oncology: Gynecologic oncology covers the diagnosis and treatment of cancers within a woman's reproductive system. The common surgeries include hysterectomy for uterine cancer, oophorectomy for ovarian cancer, and vulvectomy for cancers of the vulva. When the ovarian cancer has progressed to a higher stage, cytoreductive surgery is performed to remove as much of the tumor as possible.
  6. Pediatric Oncology: Pediatric oncology is a branch concerned with cancers in children. This also includes leukemias, neuroblastomas, and Wilms' tumors that can be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and bone marrow transplantation. Precision medicine, which tailors medical treatments to the individual's genetic profile, will play an increasingly larger role in pediatric oncology because this approach has the potential to substantially improve young patients' outcomes and reduce side effects.
  7. Neuro-Oncology: Neuro-oncology concerns cancers of the brain and spinal cord. Such surgeries include brain tumor resection, which is the removal of tumors from the brain. Cranial stereotactic radiosurgery, on the other hand, is a non-invasive brain tumor treatment. Tumors affecting the spinal cord are removed through surgery-relieving pressure off the spinal cord, while CSF shunting is used to relieve cases of raised intracranial pressure caused by brain tumors.
  8. Thoracic Oncology: Thoracic oncology encompasses cancers of the chest, primarily lung and esophageal. Cancer of the lung may be treated surgically with lobectomy, which resects a lobe of the lung; pneumonectomy, the removal of an entire lung; and esophagectomy, part or total removal of the esophagus. VATS, or Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical technique to remove tumors in the thoracic cavity.
  9. Urologic Oncology: Urologic oncology generally addresses cancers of the urinary tract and male reproductive organs. Common surgeries include prostatectomy for prostate cancer, nephrectomy for kidney cancer, cystectomy for bladder cancer, penectomy for penile cancer, and testicular surgery for testicular tumors. These may be combined with other treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation.
  10. Head and Neck Oncology: Head and neck oncology deals with the treatment of cancers in the head and neck. Surgical operations include laryngectomy, which removes the voice box; neck dissection, which removes lymph nodes; thyroidectomy involves the removal of the thyroid due to cancerous invasion of the gland; and parotidectomy, which helps remove tumors of the salivary glands.

A digestive system consists of a GI tract ( gastrointestinal tract), which includes our small intestine, stomach, esophagus, large intestine, and other organs of digestion like gallbladder, liver, pancreas, etc. Some medical conditions that are a part of gastroenterology include gastrointestinal bleeding, inflammatory bowel disease, peptic ulcer disease, hepatitis, colon polyps cancer, etc.

What Conditions Do Gastroenterologists Treat?

International patients who are suffering from gastroenterological conditions can rely on Marengo Asia Hospitals for their treatment. Our expert team of gastroenterologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and nurse practitioners will assist you in diagnosing and treating various gastrointestinal diseases. Some of the common conditions that gastroenterologists treat include:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition where the contents of the stomach start to move up into the esophagus. It becomes a serious issue when it causes frequent symptoms like difficulty in swallowing, coughing, sore throat, etc.
  • Peptic ulcer disease: A peptic ulcer is a condition that causes open sores in the inner lining of the stomach (gastric ulcers) and the part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). Some of the causes of peptic ulcers include prolonged use of NSAIDs ( nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen.
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to conditions that lead to chronic inflammation of the GI tract. It is a term that mainly refers to two conditions- Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. In Crohn's disease, inflammation can occur in any part of the GI tract. However, in ulcerative colitis, the inflammation mainly appears in the large intestine (colon) and the rectum.
  • Gallbladder and biliary tract diseases: These included conditions like gallstones, biliary dyskinesia, cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), gallbladder cancer, biliary atresia, bile duct obstructions, and many more.

What Are The Various Tests Performed By Gastroenterologists To Treat Gastroenterological Conditions?

Marengo Asia Hospitals provides comprehensive diagnostic services to their international patients, assuring unparalleled and precise care. Some of the tests that are conducted by gastroenterologists include the following:

  • Bravo PH study: It is a test that is used to determine whether the acid of the stomach is reaching the esophagus. If your healthcare expert thinks you are suffering from GERD, he/she might conduct this test to have an accurate diagnosis.
  • Endoscopy: Endoscopy is a non-surgical procedure that helps doctors visualize and examine the digestive tract. In this procedure, the surgeon uses an instrument called an endoscope, which has a light and camera attached to it, to take pictures of the tract and view it on a color TV monitor. This helps the surgeon identify abnormalities, and perform surgery or tissue removal. Colonoscopy is a type of endoscopy.
  • Imaging tests: Different imaging tests like ultrasound, defecography, CT scan, oropharyngeal motility (swallowing) study, MRI, lower GI series, and X-ray can also be performed by gastroenterologists to examine the GI tract and nearby organs. These tests can help identify abnormalities or blockages in the digestive tract.
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): This test uses gastrointestinal endoscopy and x-rays to diagnose and treat problems related to the liver gallbladder, bile, and pancreatic ducts.
  • Flexible sigmoidoscopy: In this test, the doctor uses an instrument called a sigmoidoscope to look inside and examine the rectum and lower colon. The sigmoidoscope has a light and camera attached to it which helps the healthcare provider to look for deformities like swollen tissue, polyps, and cancer.
  • Blood tests: Your healthcare provider may conduct various blood tests like blood count, liver function test, pancreatic enzyme test, etc. to diagnose certain gastrointestinal disorders like bacterial or parasitic infection, celiac disease, lactose intolerance, etc.

Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement

Orthopaedics is one of the chief specialities in medicine that diagnoses and treats health conditions related to the musculoskeletal system of the human body. Coined by French physician Nicholas Andry in the 16th century Orthopédie, it initially dealt with structural deformities in children. Over centuries, this super speciality grew by many notches playing a crucial role in treating bones and muscle disorders.

For many of us, ailments related to bones and muscles are just a click here and a crack there, but it is more than mere fractures. Orthopaedics extensively deals with deformities of musculoskeletal structures, spine disorders, injuries, trauma, congenital abnormalities, infections, degenerative and chronic conditions, and tumours.

The mobility of the human body, by and large, is dependent on the strength and flexibility of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. As we age, these 'fragile yet crucial' structures hit the peak bone mass and thrive on ample amounts of nutrition and calcium-rich foods for immense strength. Nevertheless, wear and tear are a common phenomenon that may make bones brittle and crack. The contributing factors for these changes often point to a reduction in metabolic activity, stress, lack of a healthy lifestyle, and poor dietary habits, and women are prone to various degenerative bone conditions after menopause.

The Department of Orthopedics at Marengo Asia Hospitals, helmed by expert orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and other paramedical staff, offers world-class medical care right from diagnosis to treatment and entire rehabilitation. Aided by state-of-the-art labs, diagnostic centres, and fully equipped operation theatres, we offer non-invasive-conservative treatment options besides minimally invasive procedures that ensure quicker recovery and regain the quality of life.

Pulmonology

Pulmonology is a branch of medicine that deals with the entire respiratory system, including the lungs and bronchial tubes. In these times and days of chronic viral conditions, lung diseases need expert care for swift treatment and to save lives. Lungs are vital organs in the human body, and while certain infections cause mild irritation, other pulmonary conditions can obstruct the airflow and lead to significant complications.

Respiratory conditions are grouped either as obstructive or restrictive diseases. While the first condition lowers the airflow rate during inhalation and exhalation, the latter reduces the lung's functional volume. Whether it is the common cold or chronic pulmonary disease, all you need is an expert pulmonologist's consultation to breathe easily.

Marengo Asia Hospital offers the best medical techniques and treatments to treat a broad spectrum of lung ailments. Our labs and operation theatres, equipped with modern endoscopy facilities, ensure precise diagnosis and tailor-made treatment options.

What Conditions Are Treated by The Department of Pulmonology?

  • Persistent Cough and Cold
