18. Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis is a disease that causes inflammation and ulcers which are found in the lining of the rectum and colon. Ulcers form where inflammation has killed the cells that line the colon. The ulcers bleed and produce pus. The colon becomes inflamed and empties often which causes diarrhea.

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It may be difficult to diagnose ulcerative colitis because the symptoms of this condition are similar to other intestinal disorders.

Ulcerative colitis may occur at any age. Usually ulcerative colitis occurs in individuals between the ages of 15 and 30. Ulcerative colitis affects men and women equally and is thought to run in the family.

19. Crohn’s Disease

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease involving the intestines. Crohn's disease mostly causes ulcers of the small and large intestines. Crohn's dsease may affect the digestive system. Crohn's disease is named after the physician who, in 1932, described this disease.

Crohn's disease is closely related to ulcerative colitis. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are both often referred to as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There is no medical cure for Crohn's disease. Once Crohn's disease begins, it fluctuates between remission and relapse. Crohn's disease typically begins during adolescence and early adulthood but may begin during childhood and later in life.

The cause of Crohn's disease is not known. Crohn's dsease may be attributed to genes inherited, the immune system or something from the environment.
Many scientists believe that the interaction of a virus or bacteria with the body's immune system may trigger Crohn's disease.

20. Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is visualization of the peritoneal cavity, ovaries, outside of the tubes and uterus by using this instrument. The laparoscopy instrument resembles a small telescope with a fiber optic system bringing light into the abdomen.

Laparoscopy is an x-ray and ultrasound exam which diagnoses conditions of the abdomen and pelvis.

A laparoscopy allows the surgeon to view the organs of the abdomen and pelvis.

The laparoscope instrument is a has special optics which enable small amounts of light to be transmitted.

Carbon dioxide gas is filtered through the laparoscope into the abdomen. This gas filteration creates a space for the surgeon to view the area or to operate.

A general anaesthetic is given to a patient who will be undergoing a laparoscopy.

Most laparoscopies are given to find out what is causing pain of the abdominal or pelvic region. An illness which may be diagnosed through laparoscopy might be endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts and appendicitis.

It is possible at times to conduct an operation directly through the laparoscope..

Laparoscopic surgery leaves a small scar and patients will recover quickly from the surgery.

Usually a patient will be in some pain around the area the laparoscopy was performed. The skin around the area will be sensitive.
