Understanding Conditions Requiring Small & Large Intestine Surgery
The small and large intestines (colon) are vital components of your digestive system, responsible
for nutrient absorption, water balance, and waste elimination. A wide range of conditions can affect
these organs, often requiring surgical intervention to restore health and function. These conditions
can be debilitating and, if left untreated, lead to severe complications.
If you are experiencing persistent abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, or other concerning digestive symptoms, it's crucial to seek expert medical evaluation. In Bareilly, Dr. Om Kumar Sharma, an Advanced Laparoscopic and General Surgeon, specializes in diagnosing and treating complex conditions of the small and large intestines.
Dr. Om Kumar Sharma offers a full spectrum of surgical options for small and large intestinal pathologies, utilizing both advanced Laparoscopic Surgery and traditional Open Surgery, depending on the specific condition, its severity, and patient factors. His expertise ensures that you receive the most appropriate and effective treatment.
Intestinal Tumors/Cancers: Surgical removal of cancerous or
benign growths in the small bowel or colon.
Diverticular Disease: Management of diverticulitis (inflamed
pouches in the colon), including removal of affected segments.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Surgical interventions for
Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis when medical therapy is insufficient or complications arise
(e.g., strictures, fistulas, perforations).
Bowel Obstructions: Surgical clearance of blockages caused by
scar tissue, tumors, or other abnormalities.
Intestinal Perforations: Emergency repair of holes in the
intestinal wall.
Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Surgical intervention for severe,
persistent bleeding not controlled by other means.
Volvulus: Correction of twisted loops of intestine.
Anastomotic Leaks/Complications from previous surgeries.
Wherever clinically appropriate, Dr. Om Kumar Sharma prioritizes Laparoscopic Small and Large Intestine Surgery (often referred to as Laparoscopic Bowel Resection or Laparoscopic Colectomy). This minimally invasive approach offers significant benefits:
Smaller Incisions: Leads to less pain and reduced scarring.
Faster Recovery: Quicker return to normal activities and shorter
hospital stays.
Reduced Blood Loss: Minimized surgical trauma.
Lower Risk of Complications: Including wound infections and
adhesion formation.
Enhanced Visualization: The laparoscope provides a magnified,
high-definition view of the surgical field, allowing for meticulous dissection.
While laparoscopic approaches are preferred, there are instances where Open Surgery on the Small or Large Intestines becomes the safest and most effective option. Dr. Sharma is equally proficient in traditional open techniques, ensuring that even the most complex or emergency cases are handled with utmost precision and care. Open surgery may be necessary for:
Very large or complex tumors.
Extensive adhesions from previous surgeries.
Certain emergency situations (e.g., severe perforation with
widespread contamination).
Cases where laparoscopic access is limited or unsafe.
From initial diagnosis to post-operative recovery, Dr. Om Kumar Sharma and his dedicated team are committed to providing expert, compassionate care for your intestinal health.
Thorough Diagnosis: Utilizing advanced diagnostic tools like
colonoscopy, endoscopy, CT scans, MRI, and specialized blood tests to pinpoint the exact nature of
your condition.
Personalized Treatment Plan: A detailed discussion of your
specific condition, outlining the most suitable surgical approach (laparoscopic or open) and
answering all your questions.
Expert Surgical Care: Dr. Sharma performs each procedure with
meticulous attention to detail, aiming for optimal functional and long-term outcomes.
Comprehensive Post-Operative Management: Guidance on diet,
activity, wound care, and pain management to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
Ongoing Follow-Up: Regular appointments to monitor your healing
and address any concerns, ensuring a return to a healthy, active life.
