RESOLVING IT WITH SURGERY

Minimally Invasive Robotic Assisted Surgery

Dr. Niblett performs procedures using the da Vinci robot surgical system @ Methodist Charlton Medical Center.

This laproscopic approach has the potential benefits of minimal pain, small incisions and shortened hospital stay (often day surgery).

Robotic assisted laparoscopic approaches can be offered for:

Gallbladder disease / gallstones

Inguinal, femoral, incisional, umbilical hernias

intestinal / colon resections

Hernia Surgery

Minimally Invasive Robotic Assisted Surgery

A hernia is a defect or "hole" in the abdominal muscles or abdominal wall of the body. This defect can be located in various sites of the abdomen thus giving them their name. Inguinal and femoral hernias are located in the groin / pubic area. Incisional hernias are located at the site of a previous abdominal surgical scar. Umbilical hernias are located around the navel/"belly button". Fat tissue or even abdominal organs such as the bowel or bladder can protrude through the hernia "hole" causing a visual "lump", "bulge" or "knot" at the area. This may cause pain or discomfort especially with coughing, exercise, or bearing down when going to the bathroom if the protruding tissue gets "pinched". Often it gets worse throughout the day and improves when lying down. The main concern is strangulation of the tissue or organ protruding through the hernia hole.

***Surgery involves repairing , closing, patching the hernia hole with mesh.***

Gallbladder/Gallstone Surgery

Minimally Invasive Robotic Assisted Surgery

Gallbladder/Gallstone Surgery

The gallbladder is a gastrointestinal organ that is located in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen just under the edge of the right ribs or the right breast. It functions to hold bile, a digestive liquid made by the liver. Disease of the gallbladder may cause the bile liquid to crystalize and form crystals. Over time, the crystals may slowly enlarge to form what is know as "gallstones". These gallstones can become "lodged" or "stuck" and obstruct the gallbladder or bile duct or liver or pancreas from emptying. This obstruction causes pain in the upper abdomen and may be associated with nausea, vomiting, tea colored urine, pale stools, yellow skin or eyes, right shoulder pain or upper back pain. Nonsurgical treatment of symptomatic gallstones is not recommended. The body can function without a gallbladder and proper digestion can still occur.

***Surgery involves removing the gallbladder with the gallstones ***.

Endocrine Neck Surgery

Gastrointestinal Surgery Stomach and Colon Cancer Surgery

Gallbladder/Gallstone Surgery

Hypercalcemia, also called "high blood calcium levels", may be caused by overproduction of a hormone by one or more of the 4 very small glands in the neck called the parathyroid glands. A hyperfunctioning parathyroid and the associated high calcium levels can cause bone pain and make them weak and at risk of fracturing. It may also cause formation of kidney stones, abdominal cramps with nausea, constipation and gastroesophogeal reflux, irregular heart rhythms, fatigue, confusion and irritability and muscle weakness and muscle cramps. The thyroid gland in the neck may become enlarged due to a thyroid mass or growth that may be a benign tumor like an adenoma, a thyroid cyst or a multinodular goiter. It may also enlarge due to development of a thyroid cancer. Most thyroid cancers can be cured by surgery. Postoperatively, thyroid hormone replacement is given by capsule.

***Surgery involves removing the parathyroid gland to help correct the high calcium OR removing a portion of the thyroid or possibly the entire thyroid.***

Gastrointestinal Surgery Stomach and Colon Cancer Surgery

Various illnesses/ diseases can affect the "gastrointestinal digestive tract" which includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum and anus. Infections like diverticulitis of the colon and appendicitis may not resolve with antibiotics like other infections. Benign and cancerous tumors or masses may develop in the stomach, small intestine, appendix, colon, and rectum. GIST tumors and gastric cancers can develop in the stomach. Carcinoid tumors can occur in the small intestine or appendix. Colon cancer is the most common cancer of the digestive tract. Most recommendations include starting colonoscopy surviellance at the age of 50 to identify any polyps and remove them from the colon to prevent colon cancer. Even previous abdominal surgery in the remote past can leave "scar tissue" called "adhesions" that can cause chronic abdominal or chronic pelvic pain or bowel obstruction.

***Surgery involves removing the appendix OR a portion of the stomach OR intestine OR colon OR removing the adhesions from the bowel to alleviate the pain or obstruction***

Breast Cancer Sugery

Gastrointestinal Surgery Stomach and Colon Cancer Surgery

1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer. It is the most common cancer in women. It may also occur in men. Breast cancer generally causes no symptoms. It rarely causes pain. It may eventually grow large enough that a "mass", "knot" or "lump" is found by a patient or the doctor. It may occasionally cause bleeding from the nipple. At times, it may only by found by getting a imaging study - mammogram. Therefore, most imaging recommendations include routine yearly mammograms to survey the breast beginning @ age 50. Once a biopsy of a suspicious lesion of the breast identifies a cancer, then a multidisciplinary approach plan occurs with a treatment team involving a breast surgeon whom will perform the surgical removal of the cancer, a medical oncologist whom may treat the cancer with chemotherapy or hormonal therapy and a radiation oncologist whom may treat the breast with radiation.

***Surgery involves a breast conservation "lumpectomy" OR a total mastectomy (both involve biopsy of lymph nodes under the arm to evaluate for spread of the cancer).***

RESOLVING IT WITH SURGERY

Skin and Soft Tissue Surgery

Various skin lesions may be too large or too deep for a dermatologist to remove. These may include visually apparent lesions on the surface of the skin such as benign tumors like skin tags, nevus (moles), dermatofibromas, keratoacanthomas, seborrheic keratoses or skin cancers like squamous cancer or basal cell cancer or malignant melanoma.

Lesions or masses may also develop under the surface of the skin in the "soft tissue". These may become large enough to cause a visual unsightly knot or lump. If not visual, they may be able to be felt and may be uncomfortable due to their size at their location. Common masses include inclusion cysts or sebaceous cysts, lipomas (= fatty tumors), schwannomas, and neurofibromas. Cancerous soft tissue masses include sarcomas and lymphomas.

***Surgery involves removing the skin or soft tissue under the skin to remove the lesion or cancer.***

Surgical Placement of a Port

Skin and Soft Tissue Surgery

Treatment of certain illnesses may involve administration of a medication that is not available in a pill or capsule or liquid form that can be taken by mouth. These liquid medications need to be given directly into the vein as an infusion and thus require an intravenous catheter (IV). If given frequently or for an extended period of time, the repetitive venous punctures can damage the veins and make it difficult to find a reliable vein for access for the needed IV medication. In addition, certain medications may be strong or corrosive to a vein and damage its lining. Thus a treating physician prescribing such medications may suggest placement of catheter access / "mediport" so to avoid the repetitive venous needle sticks in the hand and arms so that the iv administration is improved for the nurse and at ease for the patient.

*** Surgery involves placement of an implantable plastic port device under the skin below the collar bone.***

Lymph Node Biopsy Surgery

Skin and Soft Tissue Surgery

Lymph Node Biopsy Surgery

The lymphatic system is an extensive system of vessels and glands called "nodes" as well as organs such as the tonsils, thymus and spleen. They serve an immune function to help the body fight bacteria that cause tuberculosis or cat scratch fever, viruses like HIV and mononucleosis, fungus/yeast, parasites and cancer cells. The lymphatic vessels serve as channels for immune cells to travel and the nodes serve as the filter sites. Enlargement of the nodes may occur due to infection or an autoimmnue disorder like lupus, sarcoid, rheumatoid arthritis, or cancer such as lymphoma or leukemia or cancer cells spread there from a nearby organ or body region. A physician may request a lymph node biopsy for diagnostic purposes to evaluate for any of these possible infections or diseases. Common sites include the neck or under either arm or in either groin.

*** Surgery involves removal of one or more of the enlarged nodes in the affected region***
