Small bowel surgery in Hyderabad

Conditions requiring small bowel surgery
Crohn's disease
When medication fails to control the disease, or when complications such as strictures, fistulae, or abscesses develop, surgery is necessary. Dr. Sujeeth performs laparoscopic bowel resection with intestinal anastomosis, preserving as much healthy bowel as possible.
Small bowel obstruction
Obstruction of the small intestine, most commonly due to adhesions, hernias, or tumours, is a surgical emergency. Dr. Sujeeth performs laparoscopic adhesiolysis and hernia repair to relieve obstruction with minimal trauma.
Intestinal ischaemia and gangrene
Compromised blood supply to the bowel leads to ischaemia and, if untreated, gangrene: a life-threatening surgical emergency requiring resection of the affected bowel.
Small bowel tumours
Benign and malignant tumours of the small intestine require careful surgical resection. Dr. Sujeeth works with oncologists to determine the optimal resection margins and surgical approach.
Intestinal fistulas
Abnormal connections between loops of bowel, or between the bowel and other organs, can result from Crohn's disease, radiation damage, or previous surgery. Surgical correction requires careful planning.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Does Crohn's disease always require surgery?
A: Not always. Many patients with Crohn's are managed with medication for years. Surgery is considered when medication fails to control symptoms, or when complications such as strictures, abscesses, or fistulae develop. The goal of surgery is symptom relief and complication prevention, not cure.
Q: How long does recovery take after bowel surgery?
A: Laparoscopic resection typically allows discharge within 4–7 days and return to normal activity within 3–4 weeks. Complex emergency cases may require longer recovery.
Q: Is laparoscopic bowel surgery possible for all cases?
A: Most elective cases, including Crohn's resection and adhesiolysis, can be performed laparoscopically. Emergency cases or patients with extensive prior surgery may require open techniques. Dr. Sujeeth assesses each case individually.
