Surgery and Hospitalization

.infection, bleeding, injury to other pelvic structures, recurrent prolapse, and failure to correct the defect. Following a resection procedure, a leak may occur at the site where two cut ends of colon are reattached, requiring surgical repair.

Generally, a noninvasive procedure does not involve a surgical procedure or the use of an incision to create an opening. Examples of noninvasive procedures are imaging tests and different types of therapy.

The lining of the uterus breaking apart is the mucus lining that is usually formed so as to create a conducive environment for a fertilized egg to develop. If the ovum is not fertilized, the thick lining breaks apart which is what causes menstruation.

More and more surgical procedures are robotic-assisted. These robots stabilize the hand movements of surgeons when working in delicate places like the brain and for procedures that are done with microscopes, in very small places where hands and fingers don't fit or the surgeon is unable to make the tiny movements that microscopic procedures require, robotics can adjust movements by very small increments, so that movements by the surgeon are "translated" into microscopic movements.

Exactly what it sounds like. A hip bone is taken out, through surgery of course, and then is replaced with a prostetic. My mom's 'new' hip is made of titanium.

A bone conserving alternative to a Total Hip Replacement (THR) is hip resurfacing. The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) is a bone conserving implant aimed at young active patients who want there quality of life back!

Instead of replacing the old worn out joint, a BHR resurfaces the femoral head with a Cobalt-Chrome component and inserts a Cobalt-Chrome cup into the acetabular socket. This metal on metal technique last longer and has less wear than the traditional Metal on Plastic THR.

By conserving the bone at the femoral head, revisions should they be needed are much simplier than they are if a THR has been carried out at first.

The BHR was pioneered by Derek McMinn in Birmingham, UK. The implant has a high success rate currently at 97% at 13 years which compared to similar statistics for a THR, the difference is staggering. See McMinn Centre website for more details!

Patients who have blood-clotting problems (coagulopathies), and who have had previous standard thoracic surgery may not be good candidates for video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Because VATS requires the collapse of one lung.

That depends on what part of the ear that you want done. It could be anywhere from $15 to $50 for some ear piercings.

Website http://www.ukgastricband.co.uk/ has an excellent forum in which you can discuss the gastric band. You can find people who have gone through the surgery and discuss different alternative options, as well as life after the surgery.

you can let your hair help you to make it look bigger

if you're straight hair: grow your hair longer, then get a bowl haircut, then let it grow again and don't get a haircut, everytime u cut it, try to get something like a bowl haircut.

if you're curly hair: let it grow and comb it a little

its hard to explain.. hope u understood =S

poop-definately not poop so don't believe that it is normally made up of titanium. If you are in a science room or class then most likely put down titanium.

Post-surgical hematemesis (vomiting blood) occurs for various reasons, not all of them serious or grave. Blood is very irritating to the stomach and upper GI tract, and the presence of even small amounts can cause vomiting. Post-surgical drainage of blood into the GI tract does occur and is frequently controlled with the use of nasogastric tubes to keep the irritation to a minimum. Medications can also be used to mitigate vomiting in post surgical situations. If a patient vomits more than a little bit of blood, then special attention needs to be paid to assess whether it is a sign of hemorrhage which would require more surgery to correct. Even a small bleed, over time, can lead to anemia and have an impact on the patient's ability to clot. Any time a patient vomits blood, it needs to be addressed with his or her doctor.

The average settlement for a broken ankle varies for many different reasons. The length of time for missing work, severity of the broken ankle, and doctor bills are play a factor in the amount of the settlement.

The cost varies based on facility, surgeon, outpatient vs inpatient, where you are in the US, etc.

For example, in 2005, Utah averaged $5,851 for the outpatient procedure. Minnesota showed $9,020 as an average price.

Insurance companies may also have a negotiated price which may be lower.

After surgery on a perforated ear drum, you shouldn't fly until the doctor tells you that it is safe. Flying causes changes in air pressure, which can cause discomfort or pain in your ear, as well as temporary hearing loss. This happens particularly when the plane descends.

Your Carotid Artery takes blood to your brain. Even though they only cleaned out an artery, your brain has gone through trauma. You have undergone a serious operation. However, if they had left the junk in your artery, it would have closed up and killed you. Your brain should get used to a normal flow of blood and a normal amount of oxygen in a few days. Your body may make some adjustments because your brain is now receiving the normal amount of oxygen. Previous ans. mostly correct; If the surgery was recent, you may still have some lingering after-effects from the anesthia. If you are more than 2 weeks post-op, report to your doc or his nurse.

A catheter is a tube inserted into the urethra to collect urine from a person's bladder. To insert a Foley catheter, have the patient lie down and, using clean hands inside sterile gloves, apply lubricant to the catheter and insert it into the patient's urethra. Be sure to push the catheter in until urine can be seen within the tube. Connect the tube to a urine collection bag, and then the procedure is complete.

A medical assistant, on average, earns an annual salary of about 32,000 dollars. Salaries vary from location to location, however, and depend on a person's level of experience.

An iatrogenic infection is one actually caused by accidental medical actions.

Iatrogenic means a complication as a result of treatment.

Iatrogenic means that was caused by a doctor, or by a treatment prescribed by a doctor.

Gastric banding is a surgical procedure involving the manipulation of the stomach to promote weight loss. the surgery will involve an adjustable band being placed at the upper part of the stomach. This band will be adjusted to reduce the amount that the stomach can intake at any one time. This band, based on its settings, will promote feelings of fullness and, in turn, will result in faster weight loss. Once the desired weight loss has been achieved, an outpatient procedure can be performed to adjust the band to allow for a return to a normal stomach capacity.
