The meniscus is a C-shaped fibrocartilage that acts as a shockabsorber and also helps avoid friction between the femur and the tibia bones that come together to form the knee joint. Thus, its role is understandably huge in activities like walking, standing, etc. Meniscus tears may develop either as a result of trauma or wear and tear in patients with knee arthritis. Traumatic tears in younger, more athletic patients, are also sometimes associated with ACL tears. There are various types of meniscal tears, depending on their position on the meniscus: Vertical longitudinal tears Transverse or radial tears Horizontal cleavage tears Flap tears Tears on the outer portion of the meniscus heal faster than those on the inner, as the latter lacks good blood supply. Who Should Consider Surgery for Meniscal Tears in Mexico? Persons with longitudinal meniscal tears rather than those with degenerative horizontal or flap tears. Tears shouldnrsquo;t be longer than 1-2 cm. Patients who are willing to comply with the knee rehabilitation program post-surgery. What is the Treatment Procedure to Repair a Torn Meniscus? The meniscus may either be repaired or removed, depending on the extent of its damage. Patients who have high expectations from their knee will benefit more from a repair than a meniscectomy. Horizontal and flap tears are not usually amenable to repair, and need to be removed. Torn meniscus surgery in Mexico is done in a minimally invasive way using an arthroscope. Three-Four mini incisions are done: the arthroscope is inserted through one, fluid is made to flow in the knee joint through one or two inlets, and the other portal is for the surgical instruments. While the operation may just take an hour or so, there is considerable recuperation time involved. Getting Back to Work after Meniscus Arthroscopic Surgery Mexico Though you will be able to get on your feet the day after your surgery, getting back to work depends on the type of work you do, your cartilage repair surgeonrsquo;s recommendations, and how well your knee is recovering. Most people with sedentary jobs can get back to work in a weekrsquo;s time or less. But itrsquo;s a good idea to have help at home for the first week or so. Meniscus arthroscopic surgery in Mexico is low cost and high quality, thus giving many un-insured people a feasible and effective option. Orthopedic surgeons in Mexico at top tourist hospitals are board-certified and very well experienced.

In lap banding, a silicone band is laparoscopically inserted around ... Lap banding, also known as laparoscopic gastric banding, is a type of weight loss surgery. In lap banding, a silicone band is laparoscopically inserted around the stomach entrance. Lap band surgery got FDA approval in 2001. Although lap band process is reversible and hence considered a safer option, it is not for everyone. In this article, we will examine the risks of lap band. A review conducted by a team from the Department of Surgery, University of Minnesota, on lap band surgery reveals that excess weight loss stood at 47.5% for gastric banding, 61.6% for gastric bypass, 68.2% for gastroplasty and 70.1% for duodenal switch. Therefore, patients who need to lose more weight might want to consider other bariatric surgeries. A great deal of the safety and success of lap band surgery depends on thorough follow-up. Patients should be willing to follow a disciplined lifestyle including diet and exercise. Therefore, people considering low cost lap band abroad would do well to understand what the procedure involves before taking the decision. However, generally speaking, lap band surgery in Mexico or Costa Rica need not be a worrisome matter, if you choose the right hospital and surgeon. Weight loss surgeons in Mexico are well known for their expertise. Factors that May Rule out Lap Band If the patient has co-morbidities like severe heart and lung problems or is under 18 (Lap band surgery for teens is currently not approved by FDA), lap band may not be a good choice. Other contraindications include inflammatory conditions in the gastrointestinal tract, pregnancy, cirrhosis and alcohol/drug addiction. Risks of Lap Band Surgery Like other surgical procedures, lap band surgery has some risks. A patient considering lap band surgery has to consider these risks and have a detailed discussion with his/her doctor. General Risks of Gastric Banding: Death can occur during the operation or because of it, in spite of adequate precautions. Advanced age, certain diseases like diabetes and medications can increase risks. Extreme obesity is a risk factor, like in all surgeries. Success of surgery also depends on how your body responds to foreign objects implanted in the body. Infections Laparoscopic surgery (lap band or otherwise) by itself has some general risks. They are: Damage to the spleen/liver Damage to major blood vessels Blood clots Lung problems Wound rupture Accidental perforation of stomach or esophagus If these occur, the surgeon might decide to lsquo;openrsquo; the surgery site to complete the procedure. Lap Band-specific Risks: Tear in the wall of the stomach (gastric perforation), which will necessitate another surgery Nausea/vomiting, regurgitation, constipation, diarrhea and difficulty in swallowing Slippage of the band and obstruction of the stomach-band outlet Erosion of the lap band into the stomach, immediately after the surgery or later Dumping syndrome, a common side-effect of weight loss surgeries (symptoms include bloated feeling, diarrhea, dizziness, nausea/vomiting, sweating and palpitations) is not generally observed after lap band surgery. However, it may occur in rare cases. To avoid vomiting (emesis often accompanies lap band surgery), many people resort to high-calorie semi-liquid diet. This can lead to regaining of lost weight. Malnutrition, anemia and depletion of vitamins. There is more chance of this happening if the weight loss is rapid. Blockage/Swelling of the port site Incorrect positioning of the band, leading to stretching of the esophagus Excessive inflation of the band Enlargement or twisting of the stomach pouch Other less common side-effects of Lap Band include: Inflammation of the esophagus Inflammation of stomach, a hernia-like situation where some part of the stomach slips above the diaphragm Inflammation of pancreas Abdominal pain Chest pain Fever Dehydration Fatigue Flatulence Irregular/abnormal stools Stomach upsets Belching Rashes Swelling Painful ... medical,tourism,,weight,loss,surgery,(bariatrics) datta.deepak6@gmail.com no No http://www.medical-trip.com/lap-band-revision-surgery-abroad/ http://www.medical-trip.com/lap-band-revision-surgery-abroad/#comments Thu, 19 Mar 2009 09:59:04 +0000 vijayi http://www.medical-trip.com/lap-band-revision-surgery-abroad/ http://www.medical-trip.com/lap-band-revision-surgery-abroad/feed/
