Microsurgical Reconstruction (Free Flap and Perforator Flap Surgery)

#microsurgical reconstruction, #free flap, #perforator flap, #lower limb reconstruction, #head and neck reconstruction, #microvascular surgery

Microsurgical reconstruction is surgery in which tissue taken from another part of the patient's own body is transplanted to repair a large defect in the skin or tissue caused by conditions such as trauma, cancer, or diabetes. It is a highly complex operation in which blood vessels 1–2 mm in diameter are connected under a microscope, and it is used for legs at risk of amputation and for repairing defects after head and neck cancer surgery.

Radiation Therapy

#radiation therapy, #anticancer therapy, #cancer treatment, #lack of energy, #lethargy, #persistent fatigue, #dry cough, #frequent mild cough, #persistent cough, #loose stool, #watery diarrhea, #frequent bowel movements

Radiation therapy is a treatment that uses high-energy radiation to damage the DNA of cancer cells, which stops their growth and ultimately destroys them. Some normal cells are also damaged, but they usually recover more quickly than cancer cells and may return to normal function after treatment ends.

Robotic Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery

#robotic surgery, #laparoscopic surgery, #hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, #liver donation, #minimally invasive surgery, #living donor liver transplantation, #surgical scar, #open surgery, #lack of energy, #lethargy, #persistent fatigue

Robotic surgery is a method in which the surgeon sits at a console (control device) and operates by controlling robotic arms. Using 10x magnified three-dimensional (3D) images and freely moving robotic arms, it can allow more precise manipulation than laparoscopic surgery. It is also used for liver, bile duct, and pancreatic surgery, and for liver donation surgery. Whether robotic surgery is suitable, and which method is used, depends on each patient's condition, so please consult a medical specialist.

Robotic surgery can offer several advantages when operating on cancers of the colon and rectum. However, robotic surgery is not the right choice for every patient. Do not rely on information from the internet to choose a surgical method; choose it based on an accurate diagnosis by a surgical specialist.

Robotic Surgery for Gastric Cancer

#gastric cancer, #robotic surgery, #gastrectomy, #laparoscopy, #minimally invasive surgery, #gastric cancer surgery, #chemotherapy, #gastric cancer stage, #hand tremor, #body tremor

Robotic surgery for gastric cancer is a minimally invasive operation in which a surgeon controls a robot to treat gastric cancer. 'Minimally invasive' refers to a method of operating through only small openings in the body. The surgical method (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) is decided by your treating specialist after considering society guidelines, the latest research findings, and the patient's condition together. Please discuss the most suitable surgical method thoroughly with your treating specialist.

Robotic Surgery for Hernia

#hernia, #abdominal wall hernia, #inguinal hernia, #robotic surgery, #laparoscopy, #minimally invasive surgery, #single-port, #recurrence, #hand tremor, #body tremor

A hernia is a condition in which an internal organ moves out of its normal position and pushes out through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. The basic treatment for hernia is surgery, and surgical methods include open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery. A hernia can recur even after surgery, so ongoing management by your treating specialist is needed regardless of the surgical method. Please discuss the choice of surgical method thoroughly with your treating specialist before deciding.

Robotic Surgery for Liver Cancer and Liver Transplantation

#liver cancer, #liver transplantation, #robotic surgery, #general surgery, #liver cirrhosis

Robotic surgery is a method in which the surgeon controls a robot and operates through a few small openings in the abdomen. A more expensive operation is not always the better choice. Do not decide based on this encyclopedia alone; please consult a surgical specialist to find the safest surgical method for the patient.

Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplantation

#liver transplantation, #kidney transplantation, #organ transplantation, #liver cirrhosis, #kidney failure

The liver and kidneys have difficulty recovering on their own once they are severely damaged, so transplant surgery may be needed. Because this is a very important, major operation, please consult a transplant specialist thoroughly and receive medical care.

Spine Surgery

#spine surgery, #disc, #spinal stenosis, #disc herniation, #scoliosis, #spondylolisthesis, #spinal rehabilitation, #osteoporosis, #lumbar spine, #cervical spine, #body swelling, #facial swelling, #leg swelling, #swollen hands and feet, #numbness in hands and feet, #arm numbness, #tingling leg, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body

Spinal conditions cause a variety of symptoms, including neck and back pain, numbness in the arms and legs, and gait disturbance. Typical conditions include herniated disc (disc herniation), spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. Most spinal conditions are not life-threatening, so the principle is to start with conservative treatment such as drug therapy and physical therapy, and whether and when surgery is needed depends on each patient's condition. Please consult a medical specialist for an accurate diagnosis and direction of treatment.
