Liposuction surgery is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. It is performed under general anaesthesia and involves the use of a cannula (a hollow tube) to suction out fat. It is commonly performed on the abdomen, arms, hips, and thighs, but it can be done on any area of the body where fat is resistant to diet and exercise.

Types of Liposuction Surgery

Some different types of liposuction include:

Tumescent Liposuction: Is the most common type. In this procedure, the area to be treated is infused with a solution of saline, painkillers, and epinephrine to help reduce bleeding and swelling.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): It uses ultrasound energy to break up fat, making it easier to suction out.

Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) uses a motorised cannula to help the surgeon remove fat more efficiently.

Colorectal surgery is a broad term used to describe different surgical procedures to treat the problems of the lower gut. The surgery is used to treat colon, anus, and rectum diseases. The surgery can be performed in both adults and children. It can be used to treat conditions like piles, haemorrhoids, anal fistula, colon and rectal cancer, injuries to the anus, congenital disabilities, Crohn’s disease, severe constipation conditions and more. Some of the standard surgical procedures involved in colorectal surgery include colectomy, hemorrhoidectomy, laparoscopic surgery, anoplasty, bowel resection surgery, and more. The recovery time after colorectal surgery depends significantly on the type of surgical procedure performed.

Abdominal surgery is a broad term used for various surgical procedures around the abdominal region. These can be used to treat or diagnose medical conditions present in that area. The surgery can be performed on multiple sites like the small intestines, spleen, stomach, appendix, and rectum (or colon). The surgery made be needed for different reasons like infection, bowel disease, or tumours. Abdominal surgery can also be done to treat different types of hernias like umbilical or inguinal.

Abdominal surgeries can be broadly classified as laparotomies and laparoscopic surgeries. Laparotomies surgeries are considered major operations that require large incisions to operate. The laparoscopic surgeries are done with small incisions and have less postoperative pain.

Spine surgery involves various surgical techniques to treat conditions affecting the spine and spinal cord. The surgery may involve removing herniated or damaged discs, draining the infection, stabilising the spine, decompressing nerves, or correcting spinal deformities.

Types of Spine Surgery

Discectomy: This procedure involves removing all or part of a herniated disc that is pressing against spinal nerves, relieving pain in the back and leg and restoring nerve function.

Spinal Fusion: This surgery joins two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts or implants to stabilise the spine, often performed to treat spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, or deformities.

Laminectomy: It involves removing the back part of a vertebra (lamina) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves caused by conditions like spinal stenosis, tumours, or discs.

Artificial Disc Replacement: It involves removing a damaged disc and replacing it with an artificial disc to preserve motion in the spine.

Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty: These minimally invasive procedures involve injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebrae to stabilise the spine and relieve pain caused by compression fractures.

Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils. Tonsils are the two small glands located around the back of the mouth and nasal cavity. Tonsils protect the body by capturing the germs from the mouth and preventing them from entering the body.

There are three types of tonsils: palatine, adenoids, and lingual. However, sometimes the tonsils can get infected and can cause tonsillitis. This makes the tonsils swell, making it difficult to swallow food, with fever and more.

Frequent tonsillitis may be one of the reasons for performing tonsillectomy surgery. Moreover, the surgery can also be performed to remove the enlarged tonsil causing breathing problems like snoring or sleep apnea. Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries done on kids and teens compared to adults. The recovery period after tonsillectomy is usually 10 days to 2 weeks, depending on the type of surgery performed and other conditions.

Hepatectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove a diseased liver. The liver is one of the most vital organs present in the body. The liver is basically divided into sections, called lobes, and acts as a filter for blood. Hence, a segment can be safely removed without affecting other parts of the liver. It eliminates harmful substances from the blood that is later passed out of the body as waste. It performs several vital functions such as:

Digestion through secretion of bile

Digests and stores other nutrients from foods like sugar

Removal of toxins

Production of clotting factors

Cervical disc replacement surgery involves the removal of the diseased cervical disc and replacing it with an artificial one. Before the invention of this procedure, the affected disc was removed, and the vertebrae above and below were fused to prevent motion.

This treatment is a newly adopted surgical method to achieve neck movement in patients with a displaced disc. This relieves the additional stress on the remaining vertebrae.

The cervical spine comprises cervical vertebrae stacked on one another, forming the neck. These are separated by cervical discs that act as cushions to prevent friction, are shock absorbers, and allow movement of the neck. When this space becomes too narrow, part of the disc may press on the spinal cord or nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness. Surgery may be advised when these symptoms fail to respond to non-surgical therapies.

People suffering from back pain are commonly referred for back pain physiotherapy for 4 to 6 weeks. This treatment helps to decrease back pain, improve function and muscle strength, maintain a correct posture as well as prevent the occurrence of back pain in the future. Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorder targeting all age groups.

A recent research indicates that about 60- 80% of the population are affected with back pain around the globe. There could be many reasons for pain like aging, trauma, nutrition disorders and genetic factors, even smoking, weight gain, lifting heavy weights, depression, stress, anxiety, decreased flexibility and decreased disc fluid makes individual susceptible to all forms of low back pain. So, physiotherapy is the most widely used form of treatment aided for relief from back pain.
