Question 1

i am having my gallbladder removed.  which kind of surgery is best? i was told to either do the 1 cut through the bellybutton or the 1 cut plus 3 additional small cuts on my right side.  which one will be less painful and have less issues?

Accepted Answer

Actually, : Actually, your surgeon will need to determine which one is most appropriate for you. Of course  when it can safely be done through a scope, you would anticipate a quicker recovery.  However some gallbladders need to be removed via an open cholycytectomy.  I would add ask the surgeon.

Question 2

which type of surgery can remove stretch marks?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause.: If they are due to applying strong topical steroid creams, you need to stop the steroids. If they are due to an underlying hormonal problem, you need to address that. There is no magic wand for stretch marks, you have to look for the cause and address that.  Surgery is generally not an option.

Question 3

what type of surgery is performed to remove the appendix?

Accepted Answer

Laparoscopy v. Open: The appendix may be removed via traditional "open" surgery performed thru a 2-3" incision or via minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery.  Both are safe procedures with the choice of procedure usually dependent on the preference of the surgeon.  Like most surgeons under age 50, i perform almost all of mine laparoscopically, with an average length of hospitalization less than 24 hrs.

Accepted Answer

To : To a certain extent it depends on how extensive a procedure you require. Lifting the neck can be done in several ways including submental liposuction, face lift, and submental platysmaplasty to name a few... In general however you can go back to work in 5-7 days provided you dont mind wearing a garment on your neck and that you refrain from strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks.

Hope this helps
