Where does the removal of the uterus or womb occur?
It can happen laproscopically (meaning the surgeon makes little holes in the abdomen) and then removes the uterus. Or they can remove the uterus through the vagina (this has a shorter healing period since no surgical holes are made). Your surgeon will pick which option is better for you depending on the indication and condition of your uterus.
How long do you have to wait to have after a salpingo-oophorectomy?
To have what. If penetrative sex you should be advised by surgeon/doctor. Usually about six weeks when stitches/wounds healed etc.
What are the surgery options to correct morbid obesity?
There are two basic types of gastric bypass surgeries. The less invasive is done laproscopically and requires less healing than the traditional surgical method. There is also a gastric lap band that is inseted and can be removed if needed. There are benefits from losing the weight but you must watch carefully for infections and some need another surgery later.
Does a mesh need to be placed for a ruptured internal hernia complication from gastric bypass?
It should be, as that is pretty much all that will hold it. I myself had two incisional hernias after my bypass (I sneezed 2 months post-op). When the surgeon repaired them he used mesh however he did not place it high enough above the top of the higher hernia and now a third one has developed. I have consulted a surgeon & he said in order to fix this one (it's over my breastbone) he would have to open me up from my belly button to my Adam's apple (a LOT larger scar than before) and he would have to place the meshing between my rib cage & heart otherwise there is no where to anchor it & nothing for it to attach itself to & become one with! My original surgeon who did my gastric bypass (which was an open gastric bypass 15") did the initial hernia repair, he began the hernia repair laproscopically but tore a section of bowel & intestine while trying to remove impacted material, and he had to very quickly reopen the 15" incision to repair all of the damage & the 2 hernias....very disappointing.....be careful choosing your surgeon & ask for references.
What is Tubal sterilization?
A tubal ligation is a surgical procedure done in women to permanently prevent conception and pregnancy. It can be done in various ways but the term literally means tying or binding of the tubes (Fallopian tubes). This is why you hear it referred to as having your "tubes tied".Tubal ligation or tubectomy a.k.a. having one's "tubes tied" is a surgical procedure for sterilization in which a woman's fallopian tubes are clamped and blocked, or severed and sealed, either method of which prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for fertilization. Tubal ligation is considered a permanent method of sterilization or birth control.
How successful is tubal ligation reversal if you've had a tubal ligation 12 years ago?
Tubal ligation is a permanent fix. It cuts, ties and burns the tubes whereas making it almost impossible for the egg to pass through for fertilization. There is only a 0.5 percent chance I believe that you could then get pregnant. This is not birth control, its a permanent solution to no longer have more children.
Learning About Hernia Surgery?
Hernias are tears or weak areas in the muscles that make up the abdominal wall. Hernias can be present from birth, or can occur as a result of injury, and are sometimes developed after abdominal surgery. Whatever the cause, repairing them requires hernia surgery. This article can help you understand the surgery options that are available, and what you should expect.There are two basic sorts of hernia surgery repair techniques, suture and mesh. In the first, the edges of the hernia are sutured together. That is, they are sewn with a type of surgical thread that will dissolve on its own as part of the healing process. Sutures are not often used alone because they require longer healing times. The area that is sutured can also be subject to further strain, which can cause a new hernia to occur.The other basic type of hernia repair utilizes a permanent mesh which is attached to the edges of the hernia. The mesh is made out of plastic that is well accepted by the body. During healing, the body grows new tissue over and around the surgical mesh, making the area stronger and more resistant to new strains or tears.Most hernia surgery is done laproscopically. Laproscopic surgery involves making two or three small incisions, into which a camera and surgical tools are inserted. The healing time associated with laproscopic surgery is much shorter than is usual for open surgery, making it an attractive choice. In some situations, open surgery is preferred over laproscopic. Talk to your doctor to find out which procedure is the correct one for you.There are many different options available for anesthesia during hernia surgery. General anesthesia, that is, being completely unconscious, is most common. Modern anesthetics are a very safe option for abdominal surgeries. Surgeries can also be performed using local anesthesia, along with sedatives to help calm the patient. Your surgeon can discuss anesthesia options with you.Recovery time after a hernia surgery will vary depending on the location and severity of the hernia, along with other factors. In general, a healthy person who has had laproscopic hernia repair can return to normal every day activity within days after hernia repair. It is advised to wait at least a couple of weeks before returning to sports or other strenuous activity.
How long is the healing process of tubal ligation?
I heard that it can take up to 8 weeks to fully recover from a tubal. I had a scheduled C section, and a tubal. I am now one month post, and I feel tender still in areas, and still feel kinda bloated. I just started to feel little "twinges" on my left side, in my ovarie area. They are sharp, and only come on at times.. Anyway, remember, I had a C section also, so the recovery time for just a tubal is probably sooner.AnswerI had a tubal ligation laproscopically (not at the time of a pregnancy/birth)last week. It is exactly one week later, and I feel totally fine, and have resumed all my normal activities and sexual intercourse. The first day I was groggy from the anesthesia and a little sore around my belly button (where the incision was). The second day, I was sore around my neck area from the gas they used to bloat my diaphragm for the surgery. The third day, I was able to lift my son again, and my belly wasn't sore, but the second small incision in the pubic area was a bit tender. But by the fourth day, I felt great. After one week, I still have bruising around my belly button, but am back to normal otherwise! :) AnswerI am 43 and had my tubes tied the beginning of Feb. The recovery was pretty quick. I had a sore belly(like I did too many sit ups!) for a few days and gas pains. I had the surgery on Friday and went back to work on Tuesday. You just can't do any heavy lifting for a few weeks. I really did feel back to normal in about a week.
Is it possible to get pregnant after tubal?
I am 37 year old insulin dependit diabetic and I had my first child who just turned 14 month. At the time of birth the doctors cut my tubes so I thought all would be fine, but I just missed a period. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative so I don't know what to think, I am worried.i had my tubes done laproscopically and they were burnt in April 2006, but have not seen period since baby born. she was born in December 2006. my husband say i need to chk cause he's having back pains like when i was pregnant. now u guys have me wondering. i recently had a tubal ligation and i am currently wondering the same thing. the only facts i know have happened years after the procedure, for me it has been 11 monthsI was wonding the same thing, i just had one done in late June and have missed a period. is that normal?Yes. Anything is possible, but it is more likely to happen if you had your tubal right after child birth (atleast that is what the doctors have told me). I had my tubes tied right after my 3rd child was born. I found out I was pregnant 6 months later. It turned out that the doctor only clamped them, which I didn't even know was an option. My new doctor said that she knew of a woman that had her tubes cut,tied and burned twice and got pregnant both times. It is unlikely, but possible.Yes!!!!You can become pregnant! I am 27 years old, and I had a tubal ligation done only a year and a half ago and guess what? I found out I am pregnant today. I have to go in for an ultra sound tomorrow to see if it is ectopic or not. I am still in shock. Everything happens for a reason.I had my tubes clamped only 5 months ago and have found out today I am pregnant! I have to have an ultrasound to see if it is ectopic. I have 6 kids and am 41 so this is not a great situation for me. I am still in shock too.I had my tubes tied and cut 4 years ago after asking the doctor to tie, cut and burn them...I took a pregnancy test yesterday it came back positive, I rushed to emerg I had an ultra sound and internal ultrasound they said it was too early to tell anything (also said I am 4 to 5 weeks pregnant) I am scared to death..Has anyone had this happen? and Is it possible for this to be a viable pregnancy?
Appendicitis Symptoms are Easily Recognizable?
Appendix is a small tube of tissue attached to the large intestine. Appendicitis occurs when appendix becomes inflamed due to blockage caused by stool, a foreign object, infection or cancer. Below is the list of the common appendicitis symptoms a person may experience.1. The first and the most common sign of appendicitis is abdominal pain which starts as a dull ache around the belly button. As the inflammation travels to the outer layer of the appendix, the peritoneum, the pain will become sharp and can be clearly felt in the lower right area of the abdomen. The area in the lower right of the abdomen will be tender when pressure is applied. The pain will be worse if the person coughs or walks. If the person feels pain around the whole abdomen, it can be a sign of a ruptured appendix.2. The second symptom is the loss of appetite.3. It will be followed by nausea and vomiting shortly after the pain starts.4. The abdomen will be swollen and feel bloated. The abdominal muscles on the right side will be strained. The person may feel some relief when lying on the right side or on the back.5. The person will have a fever between 99* F to 102* F as the body responds to inflammation. However, the absence of fever doesn’t rule out appendicitis.6. He or she will be unable to pass gas.7. There may other symptoms of appendicitis, such as dull or sharp pain in the whole abdomen area, back and rectum. The person may experience painful urination and severe cramps. Additional symptoms may include diarrhea, gas or constipation.No medicines should be taken if the pain is severe and the person experiences any of the other symptoms listed above. He or she should seek medical help immediately because if appendix ruptures it will cause an inflammation of the entire abdominal cavity and can be lethal if not treated promptly with strong antibiotics. The doctor will run tests and perform an appendectomy (the removal of the appendix). The purpose of the appendix is unknown and a person can live without one.
