Laparoscopic surgery

sat in on was a bi-CABG surgery, which stands for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. A CABG is a type of procedure that is done to improve the blood flow to a person’s heart. The second procedure that I got to sit in on was a laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair. A hiatal hernia is when a part of a person’s stomach pushes through the small opening of the diaphragm and into that person’s chest area. The laparoscopic, or also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a type of surgery that consists of…

methods of surgery in gynecologic oncology is the Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgery technique. This method of surgery has many benefits, such as quicker recovery time, shorter hospital stay, less post-operative discomfort, and smaller scars (“What is Laparoscopic Surgery”). This surgery procedure is one of the safest for this type of oncology. While laparoscopy is one of the best surgical methods, it still has its limitations. These limitations can severely hinder surgeons during a…

For those few diagnosed early enough, a Whipple procedure may be their only chance at survival. This potentially life-saving surgery is a lengthy, complex, and invasive procedure requiring great training and expertise. Be that as it may, it was this operation that I found myself scrubbed into on my first day in the OR. Although I had been considering a career in surgery before, this experience was the pivotal moment confirming it was the only field I could see myself practicing in for the rest…

used to detect the cyst and torsion. Although pelvic MRI’s and CT’s are sometimes used, if the patient is suspected to have an ovarian torsion ultra sounds are used because they are faster. The procedure is usually done via laparoscopic surgery (Callen, n.d.). Laparoscopic surgery is primarily used because it is a low risk procedure, minimally invasive, some patients can go home the same day, and typically patients are back to their normal routine in about a week.

growth rates range from 8% to 25% in personal, industrial, commercial, military and surgical market segments. Surgical robotics is the most attractive market segment to invest in our opinion. We discuss why. We discuss four stocks in the robotic surgery: TransEnterix, Titan Medical, Intuitive Surgical and Mazor Robotics. We discuss if robots could kill 47% of the U.S. jobs within the next two decades as proposed by Martin Ford from Oxford University. Many of our fellow investors might have…

Doctors have been doing surgeries for decades on human patients helping them lead a healthier life. Every year there are technological advances that help us in our everyday life. Some are more beneficial to specific professions while some are for the general public. One technological advance that has helped humans in many ways is assisted robotic surgery. Robotic surgeries are not uncommon but they aren’t used in everyday hospital settings. The machine is hand controlled by surgeons with a…

This essay will be reflecting on a patient's journey who had a laparoscopic appendicectomy. I observed them from their entrance to the theatre, during the anaesthetic phase, surgical phase and recovery. I will be discussing the importance of communication and the various methods of communication used in the department. I will be using the Gibbs Reflective Cycle (1988). The Health and Care Professions Council [HCPC] (2016) require students to maintain confidentiality in accordance with…

followed, both had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiogram and were advised to be NPO (nothing by mouth) after midnight before their surgery was supposed to take place. According to the University of Minnesota Health (2016), the new evidenced-based research suggested that the old standard rule of “NPO after midnight,” is unnecessary and the new evidence-based research suggested allowing patients to drink clear liquids until two hours before their surgery; this is the…
