CLASSICAL OR GENERAL SURGERY
Classical Surgery is a branch of medicine that deals with the treatment of various diseases and injuries by means of operations. A surgical procedure may be performed to remove a tumour, treat an injury, restore organ function, or solve other medical problems.
Surgery can be classified by the way of access to the organ or tissue that needs treatment. Operations can be open when the surgeon makes a large incision in the body, or mini-invasive when small access through small wounds is used. Also, surgical procedures can be electric, laser, endoscopic or robotic.
WHEN IS IT NECESSARY TO CONTACT SURGEONS?
It is necessary to contact the surgeon in cases, primarily when the disease or injury requires urgent intervention. Symptoms may not be immediately noticeable, but it is still necessary to pay attention to some abnormalities.
Here are some common symptoms and conditions that may indicate a necessity to consult a surgeon
- Abdominal or chest pain
- There is a necessity for surgical treatment of diseases of the abdominal cavity
- Injury that can cause serious damage to organs or bones
- You found any tumours on the body. Presence of a tumour that may be malignant
- Violation of the function of organs such as kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, or intestines
- Pain and itching in the anus, blood discharge during defecation
DISEASES THAT SURGERY STUDIES
- thoracic — chest diseases: injuries, lung rupture, valve installation
- abdominal — diseases of the abdominal cavity and extrasolar space: appendicitis, ulcer, intestinal obstruction
- neurosurgery — diseases of the brain and spinal cord: tumours, injuries, ruptures of nerve endings
- maxillofacial — a disease of soft tissues and facial skull;
- vascular — diseases of small and large vessels: ruptures, varicose veins
- cardiac surgery — heart disease

DIAGNOSTICS AND THERAPEUTIC MEASURES
The following methods of research and therapy of the disease are used in surgery:
- diagnostic — aimed at studying pathology;
- radical — complete elimination of the cause of the pathology;
- palliative — carried out when it is impossible to remove the cause of the pathology.
- the purpose of the operation is to prolong life and improve its quality.
On the terms of the surgical treatment is classified into emergency, urgent or planned. Preparation for surgery involves carrying out a number of diagnostic procedures: ultrasound, CT, MRI, cytology, laboratory tests of blood, urine. All surveys refer to our other Check Up product.

HERNIAS
Surgeons from the Prestige Medical portfolio specialize in the treatment of all types of hernias: from simple to the most complex cases. Innovative minimally invasive techniques allow the treatment of the following types of hernias.
Varieties of hernias:
- Umbilical and hernia of the white line of the abdomen
- Inguinal, femoral and inguinal-scrotal hernia
- Ventral hernia
- Hiatal hernia
- Anterior abdominal wall muscle diastasis
- Postoperative hernias
The most modern methods of treatment of inguinal hernia are Transabdominal Preperitoneal Hernioplasty (TAPCH) and Total Extraperitonal Hernioplasty (TEP). Both techniques represent operative access through two to three punctures up to 10 mm in diameter.

CHOLOLITHIASIS
Cholelithiasis is accompanied by formations of different origin stones in the gallbladder and bile ducts. Stones are clots of cholesterol, calcium salts and bilirubin (a pigment of bile). One of the most common complications of stones in the bile is cholecystitis. The optimal method of treatment is minimally invasive surgery: in Odrex, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed by surgeons with extensive experience in this operation, members of the European Association of Endoscopic Surgeons and participants in international conferences.
Symptoms of cholelithiasis
- colic,
- nausea,
- vomiting,
- bitterness in the mouth,
- high temperature as evidence that the bacterial infection went to «migrate» through the body.
One of the main signs of cholelithiasis is acute colic. Why does it hurt? The sensation of sharp pain in the right hypochondrium can be caused by stagnation of bile in the biliary tract or damage to the inner wall of the bladder by stones.
If you find one of the above symptoms, you should sign up for a consultation with a gastroenterologist. It is important to act quickly and to stop the development of the disease on time. If the gastroenterologist finds that you need an urgent operation, you need to contact the surgeon.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The basis of diagnosis and treatment is the principles of evidence-based medicine: only after careful collection of information, diagnosis and scrupulous analysis of the information received, specialists of profile institutions of the Prestige Medical portfolio will offer the most effective and safest method of treatment. Together with the patient, they will find the optimal solution. After minimally invasive operations, patients are in the hospital for only 1-3 days. Most operations are performed by surgeons laparoscopically. Digital imaging allows to carry out all stages of the operation very accurately and safely, exclude other diseases of the abdominal cavity in doubtful cases and save the organ.
BASICS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
The creation of antibacterial drugs with a systemic antimicrobial effect contributed to the expansion of surgical interventions on all organs and systems. Surgery requires from the surgeon not only the possession of the technique of surgery, but also general biological and medical knowledge justifying the use of methods of treatment. Thus, surgical diseases do not represent a strictly defined circle of painful processes, and therefore, in accordance with the growth of scientific knowledge, the boundaries of this concept have changed. For example, appendicitis was treated by therapists until the end of the 19th century, while in modern medicine acute appendicitis is referred to surgical disease and is treated only promptly. Aneurysms of the heart, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction were studied and treated until the mid-twentieth century by therapists, and today — by cardiovascular surgeons. The successes of modern surgery are associated with advances in natural science, technology and related to surgery sciences, which allowed the use of surgical methods in the treatment of vital organs (heart, lungs, main vessels, head and spinal cord)
