Sigmoidoscopy
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a test that allows the doctor to examine your bowel from the anus to the descending colon with a small, flexible endoscope. The test is performed to investigate some symptoms such as a change in bowel habit, rectal bleeding; or to review a problem they may have found before, for example polyps or colitis. This will benefit you by providing a clear diagnosis. If you prefer not to be investigated, we advise you to discuss the implications with your doctor.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the removal of the gallbladder using small incisions in the abdomen. A telescope (laparoscope) is used to visualize the gallbladder so it can be dissected and removed through a small abdominal incision. The gallbladder is a pear shaped organ located on the undersurface of the liver. Its function is to store bile and empty it into the intestine, usually after a meal. The gallbladder is connected to the intestine through a series of tubes (bile ducts). Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy With proper precautions, laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed safely in. Standard technique to minimize intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy
The advent of high definition video-laparoscopy has transformed the Laparoscopic Appendectomy into an elegant, reliable procedure which can be easily performed. In most cases it can be completed within 20 to 30 minutes, and with experience, all clinical settings can be mastered. The indications for a laparoscopic appendectomy are simple. Any patient suspected to have an acute appendicitis should undergo a laparoscopic appendectomy. As our laparoscopic skills have dramatically improved over the past decade, we now rarely schedule a patient to undergo an "open" appendectomy.

Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis
Laparoscopy is an effective tool for the evaluation of patients with chronic pain. Laparoscopic adhesiolysis is associated with significant relief of chronic abdominal pain in more than 80% of patients. Laparoscopic adhesiolysis was also found to be more effective than microsurgical adhesiolysis for infertility. Although complications due to adhesiolysis are rare, there is understandable concern about blunt, sharp, or thermal injury to the bowel. Adhesions are frequently involved between two organs and most often involve the bowel. The possibility of injury during abdominal entry with a Veress needle or trocar exists in patients with or without a previous history of laparotomy.
