TYPE OF SURGERY
What Is Surgical Diagnosis?
Unless it is an emergency, you and your physician may discuss surgery as a way to correct your condition upon diagnosis. This decision is based on careful evaluation of your personal medical history and subsequent medical tests, such as blood tests, X-rays, MRI, CT scan, electrocardiogram, or other laboratory work performed to determine the exact diagnosis.
What Are the different kinds of surgery?
Depending on the diagnosis, a patient has several surgery options:
A procedure you choose to have, which may not necessarily be essential to continue a good quality of life. An example would be to have an unsightly mole or wart removed.
This type of surgery is done in reaction to an urgent medical condition, such as acute appendicitis.
A procedure which needs to be done to ensure quality of life in the future. An example would be having kidney stones removed if other forms of medication and treatments are not working. Required surgery, unlike emergency surgery, does not necessarily have to be done immediately.
What Are the different types of surgery?
In the past, surgery may have meant a lengthy hospital stay to recover. With modern medical advances, the patient now has several options, depending on the diagnosis:
Some of the more intensive surgeries still require patients to stay overnight or longer in a hospital setting. This allows clinical staff to monitor the patient’s recovery and ensures immediate medical attention in case of complications.
Because of advances in surgical procedures and anesthesia, many surgeries performed today allow the patient to recover and go home on the same day. Outpatient surgery, when appropriate, has proven to reduce costs, reduce stress for the patient, speed up the process of healing and reduce the time lost from work and family life. Outpatient surgery may also be called same-day surgery, in-and-out surgery, and ambulatory surgery. Nirmal Hospital Pvt. Ltd. performs outpatient surgery at the main hospital.
What is the purpose of surgery?
Surgery, whether elective or required, is done for a multitude of reasons. A patient may have surgery to:
- Further explore the condition for the purpose of diagnosis
- Take a biopsy of a suspicious lump
- Remove diseased tissues or organs
- Reposition structures to their normal position
- Redirect channels
- Transplant tissue or whole organs
- Implant mechanical or electronic devices
- Improve physical appearance
- Remove an obstruction
What are the different methods of surgery?
With technical advances today, surgery does not necessarily mean large incisions, as in the past. Depending on the type of surgery, there are several surgery methods that may be performed:
An “open” surgery means the cutting of skin and tissues so that the surgeon has a full view of the structures or organs involved.
Minimally invasive surgery is any technique involved in surgery that does not require a large incision. This relatively new approach allows the patient to recuperate faster with less pain. Not all conditions are suitable for minimally invasive surgery. Many surgery techniques now fall under minimally invasive surgery.
A test that uses a tube with a light and a camera lens at the end (laparoscope) to examine organs and check for abnormalities. Laparoscopy is often used during surgery to look inside the body and avoid making large incisions. Tissue samples may also be taken for examination and testing.
With the use of an endoscope, surgeons can look at the interior of a joint. This technique is most often used to inspect the inside of the knee joint.
inserting a viewing tube up the urethra to examine the urethra and bladder cavity.
A visual inspection of the cervical canal and uterine cavity with an endoscope.
Examination of the rectum and sigmoid colon with a viewing tube.
The examination of the bronchi (the main airways of the lungs) using a flexible tube (bronchoscope). Bronchoscopy helps to evaluate and diagnose lung problems, assess blockages, obtain samples of tissue and/or fluid, and/or to help remove a foreign body.
A test that uses a small, flexible tube with a light and a camera lens at the end (endoscope) to examine the inside of the hollow organs of the digestive tract. Tissue samples from inside the digestive tract may also be taken for examination and testing.
Examining the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine with a long viewing tube.
Inspecting the larynx (voice box) with a mirror or viewing tube.
DAY OF SURGERY
reminder
If your surgical plan is to go home the day of the surgery, please make arrangements for someone to drive you home and to stay with you after surgery. You must not eat or drink per your instructions. Leave all valuables at home and remove all body piercing or jewelry before coming to the facility. You may bathe or shower preoperatively. If you use an inhaler or a machine for sleep apnea, please bring it with you the day of surgery.
PREOPERATIVE AREA
You will be admitted to the Surgical Admission Unit (SAU) and asked to change into a gown, removing all clothing including underwear. A nurse will ask questions and listen to your heart and lungs. He or she will also start the IV (Intra Venous). The purpose of the IV is to give medications and fluid. The nurse will answer any questions and give any instructions you need. You may be asked to empty your bladder before your surgery. The anesthesiologist and a surgery nurse will visit with you before surgery. You may be asked the same questions by a number of people because your safety is very important to us. You may or may not see your surgeon before your surgery but he or she will visit with your family after the surgery. Sometimes an unavoidable delay occurs due to an emergency or a previous surgery taking longer than expected. The same careful attention will be paid to you during your surgery. Your understanding is appreciated.
OPERATING ROOM
When it is time for your surgery, you will be transported on a carrier to the OT. You will see several members of the operating team and a lot of equipment and bright lights. Once moved to the operating table, you will be provided with warm blankets. The anesthesiologist may give you medication through your IV line to relax you and make you sleepy. He or she will remain at the head of the table, stay with you the entire time in the operating room and transport you to the post anesthesia care unit (recovery room). Once the surgery is completed, the surgeon will talk with your family. The time you are in the operating room will vary from person to person; one family member should remain in the surgery waiting room at all times. Remember, any time frame you are given for any portion of your time with us is an approximate time.

PRE-ADMISSION TESTING
You may be asked to come to the hospital before your surgery for testing and to obtain medical information. Please bring a list of all the medications you are taking including over-the-counter and herbal medications. Our goal is for your health to be at its best before surgery. You will be instructed about taking your regular medications before surgery. At the end of this appointment, you will know how to prepare for the day of surgery and have an understanding of the entire process. You should report any illness you experience between this time and the day of surgery.

AFTER YOUR SURGERY
RECOVERY ROOM
You will wake up in the recovery room. Your memory of the time there will probably be fuzzy. As you wake up, the nurse will ask you to take deep breaths and will ask if you are hurting. The amount of time you spend in this area will be determined by many factors. A nurse will monitor you constantly and will provide pain control. Once you meet certain standards, you will be taken to your hospital room or to the post recovery area.
POST RECOVERY
Once in this area, your vital signs will be taken and you will be given something to drink and some crackers. Your family will be called back to be with you. Most patients go home approximately one to two hours after they reach this area. Criteria must be met according to your physician’s orders. You may be asked to empty your bladder before discharge. Your nurse will assist with managing your discomfort. Your home care instructions along with any prescriptions will also be given at this point. Your caregiver will be asked to sign the instructions acknowledging that they were given. While in this area, we expect you to relax with your family and take your time recovering. Once you feel prepared and discharge criteria have been met, you will be discharged to go home.
HOME CARE
Before your discharge, you will be given verbal and written instructions for your care at home. You will be instructed on activity, diet and wound care. The discharge goal is to send you home within a reasonable time when you are fairly comfortable. You may experience more discomfort when moving around and possibly some nausea after the drive home. This is to be expected. You will go home to continue your recuperation and follow your doctor’s orders
PAIN MANAGEMENT
While you are recovering from your surgery, you may experience pain. Your health care team will ask you about your pain throughout your stay. Helping keep your pain under control is an important key to a fast recovery. Everyone has a different perception of pain and many things can affect it and your reaction to it. To help you, the staff will ask you to rate your pain. The scale we use is a scale that rates pain from zero to 10. Zero means you are currently experiencing no pain, 1-3 is mild pain, 4-6 is moderate pain, and 7-10 is severe pain. Sometimes getting your pain level to zero can be difficult but with medications, we can hopefully make your pain level tolerable. As your body begins to heal, your pain level will decrease and your need for pain medication will also decrease.
