Best Colorectal Surgeon in Delhi

Gastrointestinal surgical treatment is required in cases of any esophagus, stomach, colon, or rectum-related disorders. As we chew food by mouth, that food enters the food pipe (esophagus), from where it goes to the stomach. The stomach juices get absorbed in the food and pass it to the intestine. Food then travels from the small intestine to the large intestine or colon. The colon then passes it to the rectum which leads to the anus. The anus is the outer opening from which the stools pass. Sphincter muscles are present at the end of the rectum, these prevent the stool from coming into the anus until the person is ready to defecate. Dr Sandeep Jha is the best gastroenterologist in Delhi for all gastro and colorectal surgeries and disease treatments. 

Esophagus Disease Treatment in Delhi 

The common diseases of the food pipe or esophagus are – 

Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) – As the name suggests, the reflux of acid from the stomach irritates the food pipe. This leads to heartburn and acid reflux which is more evident right after having food. Regurgitation, nausea, and belching are common and the symptoms aggravate after lying down. Lifestyle changes and medications are the mainstays of treatment. In rare cases when the conservative treatment fails, the sphincter of the esophagus is repaired to prevent the backflow of acid in the food pipe. This is called fundoplication, various other surgical procedures are also. It is important to protect the patient from GERD complications.

Achalasia Cardia – It is a less common disorder in which the food and liquid are unable to pass from the esophagus or the food pipe. This happens due to damage to the nerves of the esophagus. Food may come back to the mouth, chest pain and this results in weight loss. Endoscopic procedures and laparoscopic heller myotomy surgery is the best treatment for achalasia cardia in which the muscle of the lower esophageal sphincter is cut to allow the food to pass in the stomach. There are other surgical options as well which help in relieving the symptoms such as POEM, peroral endoscopic myotomy, etc. 

Hiatal Hernia – When a part of the stomach pushes up in the diaphragm, it is known as a hiatal hernia. The diaphragm is a muscle for breathing, and the place through which the part of the stomach pushes on it is known as hiatus. In this type of hernia sometimes, there are no major symptoms except indigestion, heartburn, and abdominal pain. The cause of hiatal hernia can be an excessive strain on the stomach, lifting something heavy, vomiting, etc. Treatment of the hiatal hernia needs medications and sometimes surgery as well.  

Esophageal Cancer – When a malignant tumor is developed in the food pipe, it is known as esophageal cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma are two common types of esophageal cancers. Weight loss, loss of appetite, pain while swallowing food, regurgitation, etc are some of the most common symptoms of esophageal cancer. The treatment of esophageal cancer depends upon the extent to which it has spread. The tumor and the affected lymph nodes can be removed via endoscopy or via a more extensive approach in case cancer has spread. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are also included in the treatment protocol as per the patient’s condition. 

Corrosive strictures of the esophagus – When there is a narrowing of the food pipe (esophagus), due to ingestion of any corrosive substance such as house cleaners, batteries, etc, it is known as Corrosive strictures of the esophagus. Symptoms include difficulty in swallowing, sometimes bleeding, heartburn, a feeling of something stuck in the upper chest after eating. The symptoms can be more severe depending upon what kind of substance has been ingested.  Treatment of esophageal stricture is by dilatation of the esophagus, many medications are given to stop any acid from refluxing into the esophagus. To prevent these corrosive strictures of the esophagus, such harmful substances must be kept out of the reach of children. 

Stomach Diseases Treatment in Delhi 

Gastritis/Peptic Ulcer – Gastritis is the infection of the lining in the stomach. This can lead to the formation of ulcers in the stomach known as peptic ulcers. Some of the most common reasons for peptic ulcers and gastritis are H. Pylori infection, excessive consumption of some medicines (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc), and smoking or drinking. The symptoms of peptic ulcers include abdominal pain, nausea, weight loss, and indigestion, etc. The disease is diagnosed by endoscopy, barium x-ray, and some blood tests for h pylori infection. Treatment of peptic ulcer includes medications for h pylori infection and some proton pump inhibitors to help in the healing of the stomach lining. When these ulcers are present in the stomach, they are also known as gastric ulcers. Based on their location, esophageal ulcers and duodenal ulcers are also quite common. 

Gastric Cancer – Stomach or gastric cancer is diagnosed in late stages in most cases as it doesn’t produce any specific symptoms. The tumor develops within the lining of the stomach. Causes of gastric cancer are stomach infections, drug abuse, and smoking, etc. Sometimes the cancer present in other areas of the digestive system spreads to become stomach cancer. Nausea, vomiting, blood stool, constant gas, or feeling full after a little meal is some of the most common symptoms. It is diagnosed by endoscopy and analyzing the tumor tissues (biopsy), X-ray and CT scan, etc. Treatment of stomach cancer depends upon the stage of cancer, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, etc. 

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor(GIST) – Gastrointestinal stromal tumors develop in the gastrointestinal tract such as the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon. These stomach tumors can be benign and cancerous as well. The symptoms are like any other gastric issue such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, etc. Some patients can feel the mass in the stomach. If GIST is present only in one location then it is removed via laparoscopic surgery. In case it has spread or the patient is not fit for surgery, then targeted medication therapy along with supportive care is given to stop the growth of the tumor. 

Colon Disease Treatment in Delhi 

Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Also known as IBD, are a number of digestive diseases that lead to various digestive system-related symptoms. Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two most common IBD diseases. Bloody stools, indigestion, weight loss, bloating, and diarrhea are some symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. The diagnosis is made by any of the diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy, x-ray, MRI, CT scan, stool exam, and barium enema, etc. Treatment is given based on the particular diagnosis, most common treatment measures are medications such as corticosteroids, aminosalicylates, immunomodulators, etc. Lifestyle modification is advised and surgery is performed in severe cases such as strictureplasty and colon removal etc.  

Colon Cancer – Large intestine is also known as colon and colon cancer is sometimes called colorectal cancer as well. Colon cancer is staged as per its spread where stage 0 means that cancer has just started and hasn’t spread yet and stage 4 means that cancer has spread to other organs via lymph nodes. Abnormal bowel movements, blood in stools, and stomach pain with excessive weight loss are some of the common symptoms. The best treatment of cancer is the removal of cancerous polyps or the cancerous part of the colon if cancer hasn’t spread to other organs. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are combined with medications and post-surgery treatments to create a better prognosis for patients. A colostomy is performed to save the colon and remove the diseased part, this can be temporary or permanent. 

Diverticular Disease – Some sac-like formations develop from the lining of the large intestine, these sacs or bulges are known as diverticula. If any of the sacs gets perforated, then it creates inflammation in the colon, this is known as diverticulitis. Sometimes, diverticular can lead to other issues such as narrowing of the colon (stricture), abnormal connections between two body parts (fistula) and bleeding, etc. Diverticular disease without any complications is treated by antibiotics and other supportive measures. However, in case of any complication like the bursting of sac or development of a fistula, emergency surgery is required.   

Sigmoid volvulus – Sigmoid volvulus is the twisting of a sigmoid colon loop. This twisting of the loop hampers the blood supply in the intestine, known as bowel obstruction. Chronic constipation, previous abdominal surgeries, and excessive laxative use are the most common causes of sigmoid volvulus. Patients experience colic, severe constipation, and abdominal distention. CT scan with contrast is one of the foremost diagnostic tests to diagnose sigmoid volvulus along with some blood tests. The first treatment is decompression of the twisted colon by a sigmoidoscope. If this procedure fails then the open decompression is performed surgically. In some patients who recurrently have this issue, sigmoidectomy is the procedure of choice. 

Intestinal Obstruction – When the stool or any foreign object (swallowed by children) gets stuck in the intestine, it is known as intestinal obstruction. This needs immediate medical attention as the stuck object or stool can damage the intestinal lining. If the obstruction is partial then the patient experiences diarrhea. However, in the case of total intestinal obstruction, the patient is unable to pass gas and stool resulting in absolute constipation. The patient is given IV fluids and a tube is passed to the intestine to relieve pressure and swelling from the intestine. If the intestinal parts have become dead, then that part needs to be removed surgically and two healthy ends are then connected.  

Laparoscopic Right/Left/Total Colectomy – As the name suggests, colectomy is the removal of the colon or a part of the bowel/large intestine by laparoscopy. Colectomy is recommended in case of colon cancer, severe constipation, ulcerative colitis, infection and Crohn’s disease, etc. In the total colectomy, the whole colon is removed. In the right colectomy, the right side of the colon is removed and in the left side of the colectomy, the left part of the colon is removed. Which part of the colon will be removed depends upon the condition and situation of cancer. 

Rectum Disease Treatment in Delhi 

Rectal Prolapse – Rectum is the last part of the large intestine or colon. When the rectum pushes through the anus then it is known as rectal prolapse. It can range from mild, moderate to severe. The patient may feel like something pushing through the anus or a bulge coming out which may or may not be pushed back manually. The reasons behind the rectal prolapse are chronic constipation, vaginal birth, spinal injury, etc. Rectal prolapse can be treated by surgical measures where either the rectum is pushed back or a part of it is removed depending upon the extent of rectal prolapse. 

Rectal Cancer – The development of a malignant tumor inside the rectum is known as rectal cancer. Cancer can be staged depending upon its spread which ranges from just the beginning of cancer (stage 0) to the spread of cancer to the liver and lungs (stage 4). Sigmoidoscopy and FIT (fecal immunochemical test) are the main modes of diagnosing rectal cancer. Treatment of rectal cancer also depends upon the stage of cancer, in the initial stages, only the diseased tissues are removed while in late stages an extensive surgery is required. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and cryotherapy accompany. If you are looking for the best gastroenterologist in Delhi then book an appointment with Dr. Sandeep Jha here. 

Rectal Surgeries 

Laparoscopic Low/Ultra-low Anterior Resection – LAR (Low Anterior Resection) or ULAR (Ultra-low Anterior Resection) are the most common surgeries performed to treat rectal cancer. In the LAR procedure, the diseased part of the rectum is removed and the healthy ends are then attached to each other. The patient is able to poop or defecate normally after recovery. In the case of very low-lying rectal cancers, the ULAR procedure is performed, in which the rectum is removed either partially or fully, and the remaining colon is directly connected to the anus. In some cases, an internal pouch is also created to act as a rectum.
 

Subtotal Colectomy with IPAA – Subtotal or total colectomy means that the whole colon and rectum are removed. IPPA stands for Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis that means the formation of a J-pouch that allows you to pass stools normally even after the removal of your colon and rectum. This surgery provides a normal life to the patient even after a major large intestine removal surgery. Normal bowel motions are restored and the diseased part is removed. 

Abdomino-Perineal Resection(APR) – In this surgery, the anus, rectum, and sigmoid colon are removed. This APR surgery is performed in cases of low rectal cancers and in anal cancers. After their removal, an opening is created in the skin that will serve as an opening for stools, this is known as a stoma. A stoma bag is attached to the stoma that collects the stool and gas type of body waste. The patient no longer has the control to pass stools as it is collected in stoma bags now. Dr. Sandeep Jha is an expert in stoma creation and stoma care advice.
