Before and after surgery On medical issues, there are different ways of interpreting events. Go back ten years and the question of surgery for weight loss — the so-called bariatric surgery — was viewed as an extreme response to the problem.

After Gallbladder Removal Surgery Each person responds in their own way after gallbladder removal surgery. In fact, many people who have their gallbladder removed are surprised when they experience many of the same symptoms they had before their operation.Doctors call this phenomenon as "postcholecystectomy syndrome." Cholecystectomy is the word medical personnel for a gallbladder removal operation. Based on recent research done on this subject, it appears that approximately 40 percent of those who have a gallbladder removal operation experience postcholecystectomy syndrome. This is due to the fact that the bile duct is not normally removed. The bile duct, which carries bile back and forth from the liver to the gallbladder, continues to accumulate bile.In the Days After Your Gallbladder Removal SurgeryThere are certain things almost everyone experiences after gallbladder removal surgery, regardless of whether they have postcholecystectomy syndrome or not.

Your heartbeat is produced and regulated by a group of cells within your right atrium called the sinoatrial node. This node generates electrical signals that normally spread throughout the surface of your atria before traveling to the atrioventricular node. As these signals traverse the atria, they cause them to contract. This is part of your heart's normal beating mechanism.Millions of people suffer a type of arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation (Afib). With this condition, the electrical signals are generated outside the sinoatrial node. Rather than traversing the atria in a uniform pattern, they spread erratically. This causes the atria to fibrillate.If medications have proven ineffective for controlling Afib, doctors will often suggest minimally invasive maze surgery. This is a procedure during which a cardiothoracic surgeon creates a maze of scar tissue across the surface of both atria. Because scar tissue is unable to conduct an electrical current, the signals are guided along a defined path toward the atrioventricular node. Below, we'll briefly explain how the Maze procedure is performed.Anesthesia And Right Lung DeflationThe first step is to administer general anesthesia....more
