The visceral surgeon works closely with gastroenterologists to provide the best possible treatment for patients. For example, gallstones diagnosed by a gastroenterologist can be surgically removed by the visceral surgeon.

How do I know if I need surgery on my colon or rectum?

The signs that indicate a patient may need surgery on the colon or rectum vary depending on the individual case. If a patient has symptoms such as rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss, they should consult with a colon and rectal surgeon who can assess their condition and determine if surgery is necessary.

How long does it usually take to recover from a visceral surgery?

The recovery time after a visceral surgery varies depending on the type of surgery, the individual patient, and the extent of the procedure. In general, minimally invasive surgeries have a shorter recovery time than open surgeries. The overall health and age of the patient can also affect the recovery time. Patients typically spend several days in the hospital after a visceral surgery and will need to rest and restrict physical activities for several weeks to months while their body heals. The surgeon will provide specific instructions for activity restriction and wound care during the recovery period.

How does Dr. Oweira determine the appropriate surgical approach for a specific patient and condition?

Dr. Oweira chooses the surgical approach based on a thorough examination of the patient and an accurate diagnosis. He takes into account the type and severity of the condition, the patient’s age and health, and other factors that may affect the healing process. He then discusses with the patient the various options and explains the advantages and disadvantages of each method to jointly make the best decision.

What kind of postoperative care and follow-up is required after the surgery?

The type of postoperative care and follow-up depends on the type of procedure and the patient’s condition. Typically, after a visceral operation, patients need to stay in the hospital for a certain period and then undergo a healing process that involves regular follow-up appointments and, if necessary, physiotherapy. The surgeon will inform the patient about the measures that are necessary in their individual case.

How can patients cope with pain and discomfort after a visceral surgery?

After a visceral surgery, patients may experience pain and discomfort, which can vary from patient to patient. The surgeon will typically prescribe pain medication to alleviate the pain. In addition, patients can rest, adjust their diet, and perform light exercise to support the healing process. It is important for patients to follow their surgeon’s instructions and to contact the medical team with any questions or concerns.
