The seroma after tummy tuck is relatively frequent, the risk being higher when done together (in the same area) with liposuction. You can also occur in other surgeries such as breast, particularly in reconstructive surgery after mastectomy and lymphadenectomy. After breast augmentation surgery, early mobilization of prosthesis surface roughness may cause a seroma by rubbing of the prosthesis with tissue. The seroma was detected by manual examination or ultrasound. Sometimes it is visible to simple ease view.

Its origin may be lymphatic tissue or inflammatory exudate venulocapilar vascular proliferation. The seroma is prevented by careful surgery and the use of compression garments. Small seromas are reabsorbed by the body. Large seromas should be removed by puncture or through drains.

Abdominoplasty is a successful intervention if it is performed by a qualified medical specialist plastic and cosmetic surgery. However complications can occur such as infection, seroma or bleeding. The infection is treated by drainage and antibiotics. Defective wound healing leads to the formation of a widened or hypertrophic scar, requiring a second operation. The smoker has a higher risk of scarring defective.

The ideal candidate for a tummy tuck is the man or woman with a relatively good shape but fat accumulation is not improving despite diet or exercise. The surgery is particularly helpful in women who have had multiple pregnancies after which the skin and abdominal muscles are relaxed and have not recovered their initial pitch.

What is a Tummy Tuck

As with any plastic surgery, a tummy tuck there are risks, but these are rare and most can be corrected later: loss of sensitivity, small irregularities, infection, or scarring.

What is a tummy tuck? Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is a plastic surgery that aims to reconstruct the abdominal wall by removing excess skin and fat if necessary, and strengthening weak muscles. The tummy tuck leaves a scar, but is hidden under the underwear. This serves plastic surgery for men and women, and significantly improves the appearance of the abdomen, leaving it flat and firm.

The tummy tuck cosmetic surgery is ideal for:
- People who were very overweight, and dropped many kilos in a short time, and now have excess skin that hangs around the abdominal area.
- Women who have had multiple pregnancies, after which the abdomen was left with sagging, excess skin and / or stretch marks.

The abdominoplasty or tummy tuck involves removing a segment of abdominal skin and fat while the voltage is restored normal muscular wall.

Abdominoplasty is one of the most cosmetic procedures cause discomfort to the cosmetic surgeon for the large size of the scar and at the same time, is one of the most satisfying to / the patients for the major shift in its silhouette often determines combined with liposuction of those clumps of fat not decrease with weight loss.

As in the preparation of any surgery needed a full examination to rule out any type of pathology that would contraindicate surgery. Among these include cardiovascular problems, lung and blood clotting.

In obese patients is recommended, whenever possible, thinning after a check by the endocrinologist. For patients to resist the thinning and have a large abdomen may surgery be indicated, it is advisable to prepare abdominal wall a few days before the intervention by breathing exercises.

Due to the large size of the detachment and the size of flap that is normally practiced in this type of intervention is important that patients who smoke to quit for about two weeks before operation. The reason for this is that the snuff causes an alteration microcirculation that can severely compromise the end result. Read the rest of this entry

About one third of patients with ulcerative colitis require surgery during their illness. Surgery is the only treatment that provides a definitive cure for this disease, although the price is the loss of the large intestine.

There are some ulcerative colitis surgery complications, we must give attention with:

- A severe acute attack, which does not respond to intensive medical treatment.

- Complications of type of toxic megacolon, colon perforation or massive bleeding per year. Massive hemorrhage is rare, but it is not toxic megacolon, which affects nearly 5% of patients. The latter is a paralysis of the muscles of the walls of the colon. For this reason, the colon gradually expands, absorbing toxins from within and sometimes even reaches your wall perforated (burst), causing a severe peritonitis, which can be fatal and requires immediate surgery. Sometimes the perforation is very small and leads only to a peritoneal abscess (pocket of pus), which can be drained (emptied of pus) by needle aspiration under radiological or surgical intervention semiurgente.

- Chronic disease that produces progressive malnutrition with wasting or stunting in children.

- Bowel cancer risk or very important you get this. The cancer that occurs in this disease is more evil than the normal large bowel cancer, so it is necessary to make regular checks to catch it early. There are a number of factors that increase the risk (e.g. disease onset before 25 years, very extensive or active disease, etc.), which require individual assessment and intervention can make recommendations even when there still appeared cancer.

- Serious UC surgery complications in organs other than the colon (e.g., liver, skin or joints).

The standard intervention is the total proctocolectomy (removal of the entire colon and terminal portion of the rectum). After removal of the rectum, it is necessary to provide an alternative for waste to go outside. This is accomplished by advocating the terminal end of the ileum to the abdominal wall (ileostomy). There are two methods. One is the classical ileostomy (also called “Brooke”), and the other is the continent ileostomy (also called “de Kock”), which involves the construction of a reservoir that stores stool, allowing its output will control the abroad.

Gallstones After Gallbladder Removal

Can I have gallstones after gallbladder removal? A couple of weeks I feel a pain that seems like you have knots in your stomach, upper central area of the chest under the breastbone. In previous surgeries, I removed the appendix and female organs.

More gallstones after gall bladder removal

It is possible for gallstones to recur after gall bladder removal and for the intense pain and discomfort to come back. These symptoms may be from stones forming in the bile duct, but are more likely to be stones that were in the ducts and missed at the time of gall bladder removal. These can be removed in a second operation or they can be dissolved using drugs.

The work of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile. However, the body can function properly without the gallbladder if it satisfies certain dietary precautions. It is quite common to have temporary digestive difficulties after gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) and the reason for these problems is often a difficulty of the digestive system to cope with the presence of fat in the diet. Fats and certain fat-soluble vitamins require bile to be absorbed. When the gallbladder is present, stores bile produced by the liver. During meals, the gallbladder contracts, releasing an amount of bile in the intestine used for absorption of fats. After cholecystectomy, the intestine continues to produce bile, but released into the intestine through a slow, steady drip. Consequently, when a food is consumed that is high in fat, you may not have an adequate amount of bile in the gut for the normal process of absorption.

Following the instructions of the diet, have now passed the stage of clear liquids and gases once dismissed could move to full liquids (milk based, soups, custards, etc.). Then you can progress slowly to begin to incorporate a normal diet as you tolerate. It is customary to take depositions shaky start. It will not be necessary to impose restrictions or changes in long-term diet (most people are better off without the gallbladder). The most important thing is to learn which foods are tolerated and that omit from your diet, which should preferably be a DIET LOW IN FAT. But slowly reintroduce food in small quantities. Remember, the key is to eat what you can tolerate and every person is different, then what other people can tolerate, not necessarily the same as you can tolerate.

PCS is the abbreviation for post-cholecystectomy syndrome. The term post-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) describes the presence of symptoms after cholecystectomy. These symptoms may represent the continuation of symptoms thought to be caused by the gallbladder or the development of new symptoms normally attributed to the gallbladder. The PCS also includes the development of symptoms caused by the removal of the gallbladder.

It can be two types of problems. The first problem is a constant bile flow increased to the upper gastrointestinal tract which can lead to esophagitis and gastritis. The second consequence is related to lower gastrointestinal tract, where they presented pictures of diarrhea and abdominal cramps. You will need to talk to your doctor about your specific symptoms occur when you get gallstones after gallbladder removal so you can examine, diagnose and then treat appropriately.

The nervous system is one of the most difficult parts of the body to operate. It is not easily accessible, not well known and imprecision can cause serious squeal. Therefore the combined imaging technologies are essential aid for neurosurgery. The most sophisticated devices of this type are neuronavigation because they allow acting with a margin of error of a millimeter in very delicate.

The commitment to these technologies is expensive. One of the devices for more advanced cerebral involvement is completed with other instruments for the column and lungs. In total, more than a million euros of investment. The neuronavigation in neurosurgery has greatly facilitated. It brings precision and safety. Although the physician recognizes that they must not be fascinated by everything new. There are no efficacy studies, but the impression of neurosurgeons have less difficulty in operating, they get in increasingly difficult cases and mortality and morbidity is much less. In the hospital performed the first brain stimulation intervention in Spain in 2004 there has been about 700 such operations.

The next step is to act not only in the brain, but on the spinal cord. And this hospital has, since last July, the only column neuronavigation equipment in public health. Working in with this equipment has the advantage that access is easier, and once the intervention has been made, you can check if the screws are placed, or otherwise fix it in the same act surgery.
