Ventral hernia repair: the hernia is repaired by mesh or sutures entered through instruments placed into small incisions in the abdomen. Cholecystectomy: to remove the gallbladder using several small incisions. Inguinal hernia repair: to repair a hernia in the abdominal wall of the groin. Sleeve gastrectomy: to remove a large portion of the stomach to help with weight loss. Heller myotomy: to treat the achalasia by cutting the muscles of the cardia to allow food and liquid to pass to the stomach. Dor fundoplication: to prevent reflux from the stomach into the esophagus by partially wrapping the stomach around the esophagus. Paraesophageal hernia repair: the diaphragm at the esophageal hiatus is closed to prevent the stomach from reherniating, and then the fundoplication is performed to keep the stomach from herniating back into the chest cavity. |
