I was recently diagnosed with an intersphincteric fistula tract and have surgery scheduled for next Friday. I'm a bit nervous and wondering what type of anesthesia is usually given during a fistulectomy procedure
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Spinal anaesthesia will be given during surgery. You will feel a small pin-prick in your back. The surgery will take 20-30 minutes only. Don't worry!

View allI've had mild pain on the right side of my abdomen for about a month now and my doctor recommended surgery for appendicitis. Can homeopathy actually cure this or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about going under the knife if there are other treatments that might work
Homeopathy is not a proven treatment for appendicitis. Persistent mild pain in the right abdomen should be taken seriously

My 72-year-old dad has an umbilical hernia that's been growing in size. We tried homeopathy for a year but it didn't help. He doesn't want surgery right now since he's not having any major issues, but I'm worried about the hernia getting bigger. Can Ayurveda help treat this condition or slow down its growth?
Incision,hernia repair,reduction of hernia and closure with the staples is advised to yhe pt at apollo hospital.

My pilonidal sinus burst and drained a lot of white pus and blood. Should I still get surgery or can I just take pimple healing meds and antibiotics?
While antibiotics might help with the infection after a pilonidal sinus burst, surgery is likely still needed, especially if the sinus is chronic or keeps recurring. Antibiotics alone won't fully address the underlying issue of the sinus and the need for complete removal. See a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options, including potential surgery or incision and drainage, to prevent recurrence and further complications
