Advanced Small Intestine, Mesentery & Retroperitoneal Surgeries by Dr. Santhosh R
The small intestine, mesentery, and retroperitoneum are critical yet delicate areas of the digestive system. Diseases in these regions—such as tumors, cysts, or congenital anomalies—can cause abdominal pain, bleeding, obstruction, or nutritional issues. Due to their complexity, these conditions require highly specialized surgical care.
With expertise in laparoscopic, robotic, and open techniques, Dr. Santhosh R offers advanced surgical solutions tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring safe outcomes and faster recovery.
Specialized Surgical Services
1. Laparoscopic Resection of GIST & Meckel’s Diverticulum
- Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs): Rare tumors that can occur in the small intestine. Surgical removal is the main treatment, and laparoscopic resection offers precise tumor removal with minimal invasiveness.
- Meckel’s Diverticulum: A congenital pouch in the small intestine that may cause pain, bleeding, or obstruction. Minimally invasive surgery ensures effective removal while reducing recovery time.
2. Lap/ Robotic-Assisted Resection & Anastomosis
In cases of diseased or damaged sections of the small intestine, surgical removal (resection) followed by reconnection (anastomosis) is required. Using laparoscopic or robotic techniques, Dr. Santhosh performs this surgery with:
- Smaller incisions
- Reduced risk of complications
- Faster return to normal diet and activities
3. Lap/ Robotic Feeding Jejunostomy
For patients who cannot take food orally due to cancer, strictures, or after major surgeries, feeding jejunostomy provides a safe way to deliver nutrition directly into the small intestine. Laparoscopic or robotic approaches make this procedure less painful and easier to recover from, helping patients maintain strength during treatment.
4. Retroperitoneal Tumor & Mesenteric Cyst Excision (Lap/ Robotic/ Open)
- Retroperitoneal Tumors: These tumors grow in the space behind the abdominal organs and can sometimes become very large. Surgical removal is often the only effective treatment.
- Mesenteric Cysts: Rare, fluid-filled cysts in the mesentery (the tissue that supports the intestines) that may cause abdominal pain or obstruction.
Dr. Santhosh offers laparoscopic, robotic, or open surgery depending on the size, location, and complexity of the case—always prioritizing complete removal and patient safety.
