Pre- and Post-Op Endoscopy: A CeMar Surgery Advantage
At CeMar Surgery, we prioritize patient safety and surgical success above all. Our commitment to excellence is why we incorporate both pre-operative and post-operative endoscopy into our bariatric surgery protocols—a practice that sets us apart from many other clinics. This approach not only underscores our dedication to patient care but also enhances the overall surgical experience. Here's why:
Pre-Op Endoscopy: Ensuring a Safe Surgical Path
Confirmation of Anatomy and Preexisting Conditions: Performing an endoscopy just before surgery offers a comprehensive view of the stomach and esophagus. This critical step helps us identify any previously undetected conditions like active ulcers or large hiatal hernias that could complicate the procedure.
Final Evaluation of Eligibility for Surgery: This procedure is our final checkpoint to confirm a patient's suitability for the planned bariatric surgery. It enables us to catch severe abnormalities that could necessitate postponing or adjusting the surgery, thus safeguarding the patient's health.
Reduction of Complication Risks: By identifying and addressing gastrointestinal issues beforehand, we significantly diminish the likelihood of postoperative complications, ensuring a smoother recovery.
Additional Benefits:
Optimization of Surgical Management: Real-time confirmation of anatomy and the absence of contraindications bolster the surgeon's confidence and precision.
Convenience and Efficiency: Integrating endoscopy with the surgical process minimizes patient stress and optimizes hospital resources.
Post-Op Endoscopy: Verifying Success and Safety
Verification of Surgical Results: Immediate post-surgery endoscopy allows us to directly observe the surgical alterations, ensuring the outcome matches the surgical objectives.
Detection of Immediate Complications: Early identification of potential issues like bleeding or problems with sutures and staples means instant correction, enhancing patient safety.
Assurance of Graft and Anastomosis Integrity: Checking the new connections within the gastrointestinal tract for leaks or other problems is crucial for preventing serious postoperative complications.
Additional Benefits:
Enhanced Patient Safety: This immediate postoperative check acts as an extra layer of safety, affirming the patient's well-being as they leave the OR.
Optimization of Recovery Process: Addressing any immediate concerns can lead to a more efficient recovery, potentially reducing hospital stays and postoperative care needs.
