Laparoscopic surgery, a "minimally invasive" procedure, is commonly used to treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Unlike traditional surgery on the colon or other parts of the intestines where a long incision down the center of the abdomen is required, laparoscopic surgery requires only small "keyhole" incisions in the abdomen.
Complex and specialized minimally invasive surgery of the GI tract is performed
to treat acid reflux/GERD, hernias, appendicitis, portal hypertension,
inflammatory bowel disease, and diseases, conditions or injuries of the
esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, intestines, colon
and anus.
Varicose veins are swollen, dark blue or purple blood vessels that are visible
and tangible beneath the skin. They often look like twisted cords, and usually
appear on the calves, inside of the legs, and ankles, or as hemorrhoids during
pregnancy.
The endocrine glands are responsible for secreting hormones in our bodies. These
glands include the thyroid in the front of the neck, four parathyroids behind
the thyroid, two adrenal glands near each kidney, neuroendocrine glands in the
pancreas, and the pituitary in the brain.
Spider veins are caused by a variety of factors, including heredity, pregnancy (and other conditions that involve changes in hormone levels), weight gain, long periods of standing, and certain medications.
