Visceral surgery focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases involving internal organs within the abdominal cavity, including the liver, pancreas, stomach, intestines, and more. This branch of surgery plays a critical role in managing both routine and complex medical conditions that affect gastrointestinal and metabolic health. At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic, located in Dubai Healthcare City, our surgical team—led by experienced Consultant General and Bariatric Surgeon, Dr. Amr Arafa — is at the forefront of adopting these modern techniques to ensure optimal patient care.
The Role of Visceral Surgery in Modern Healthcare
Managing Complex Diseases
Visceral surgery addresses a wide range of conditions, from gastrointestinal disorders and liver diseases to colorectal complications. It also plays a crucial role in emergency interventions, such as managing ruptured appendices or bowel obstructions, and in treating cancers affecting the stomach, pancreas, or intestines.
Focus on Patient-Centered Outcomes
The goal of this surgery extends beyond treating physical conditions—it aims to enhance the patient’s overall quality of life. Minimally invasive surgeries, such as those performed at Westminster Ortho Med Clinic – Dubai Healthcare City, offer faster recovery, minimal scarring, and reduced post-operative discomfort. Comprehensive post-surgery care, including nutrition counselling and long-term support, ensures sustained success and patient well-being.
Advanced Techniques in Visceral Surgery
Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive) Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery is a key advancement in visceral care, known for its reduced recovery times, minimal scarring, and shorter hospital stays. Procedures such as hernia repairs, gallbladder removal, and gastrointestinal surgeries are routinely performed using this approach. Dr. Amr Arafa, our skilled Consultant Surgeon at Westminster Ortho Med Clinic, specializes in advanced laparoscopic procedures, leveraging his 38 years of experience to deliver high-quality, minimally invasive care.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgeries are transforming the landscape of this surgery, especially for complex procedures like colorectal cancer surgeries. With enhanced precision and dexterity, robotic surgery ensures better patient outcomes by minimizing surgical risks.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols
ERAS protocols promote faster recovery through pre-operative optimization, early mobility, and postoperative support. At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic, our team incorporates these protocols to reduce hospital stays and facilitate smoother recoveries. Nutritional support, pain management, and tailored recovery plans are integrated into every surgical journey.
Metabolic Surgery for Obesity and Diabetes
Bariatric procedures, such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, offer solutions for obesity and related metabolic disorders, including diabetes. Dr. Arafa’s expertise in metabolic surgeries helps patients achieve better health outcomes, often going beyond weight loss to improve insulin resistance and cholesterol levels.
Postoperative Care and Long-Term Success
Nutritional Support and Follow-Ups
Postoperative care is a vital aspect of the patient’s journey. Bariatric patients, in particular, require ongoing nutritional guidance to maintain weight loss and improve metabolic health. Dr. Arafa and the surgical department ensure personalized follow-ups, helping patients adopt sustainable lifestyle changes.
Role of Minimally Invasive Techniques in Post-Surgical Recovery
The use of minimally invasive techniques reduces the risk of complications and infections, allowing patients to resume normal activities sooner. With the expertise of Dr. Arafa and the multidisciplinary team, patients receive holistic care that prioritizes both immediate recovery and long-term well-being.
