In addition to the well-known Upper GI procedures such as thoracoscopic oesophagectomy, laparoscopic gastrectomy, laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery, and laparoscopic hiatus hernia repair, there are other functional oesophagus and stomach surgeries that address various gastrointestinal conditions that Dr Chuah performs. For example, Dr Chuah performs resection of the rare Zenker’s diverticulum (Pharyngeal pouch).
These procedures may involve the repair of structural abnormalities, treatment of motility disorders, or removal of benign growths.
Dr Chuah performs a range of other functional oesophagus and stomach surgeries, and is highly experienced in a wide range of Upper GI and General Surgery operations.
Dr Chuah also specialises in treating and operating for extremely rare conditions and complex cases.
Each functional oesophagus and stomach surgery procedure varies in its approach and complexity, but many can be performed using minimally invasive techniques.
The specific steps taken during the surgery will depend on the condition being treated and the patient’s individual needs.
Recovery expectations and timelines will also vary based on the procedure and the patient’s overall health. Generally, for Upper GI operations, patients can expect a hospital stay ranging from one day to several days, followed by a recovery period of a few weeks. Pain management, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes may be necessary to support the healing process and ensure the best possible outcome.
For any procedure, it is crucial to follow your surgeon’s recommendations and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns or complications that may arise.
