What Does Abdominal Surgery Mean?
Abdominal surgery is an independent field of surgery. The term visceral surgery originates from the Latin and Greek usage (viszera=intestine, cheir=hand, ergon=work) and means as much as the manual work in the area of the intestines. In German usage, it is translated as abdominal surgery.
Abdominal surgery can be divided into the following special areas:
- Endocrine surgery
- Pancreas surgery
- Liver surgery
- Hernia surgery
- Bariatric surgery
- Bowel surgery
- Esophageal surgery
- Stomach surgery
In each of these areas, a broad spectrum of benign and malignant diseases, inflammations, and injuries are treated surgically, often carried out in an interdisciplinary team.
More and More Abdominal Surgeries Are Possible Using Minimally Invasive Methods
In recent years, the number of open abdominal incision treatments has been declining and in many areas, they have been replaced by the much gentler procedure of minimally invasive laparoscopy. This procedure allows quicker recovery due to the small incisions, less strain on the body, and thus enables the surgery in elderly and seriously ill patients for whom the usual surgical procedures would be too exhausting.
