Is Appendix a Useful Organ? http://www.springfieldwellnesscentre.com/appendix-operation-what-is-that/ Since it is an extension of the cecum, an organ well developed in plant-eating animals, it had necessary beneficial intestinal bacteria that helped in digestion of plant material. Evolution has made this redundant in humans as humans cannot digest plant cellulose. So it was thought as a vestigial or useless organ. But now new theories are emerging that suggests that the appendix has abundant normal gut flora (beneficial bacteria) that maintains the equilibrium between the good and bad bacteria. Appendix can supply useful bacteria in case of diarrhea or gut infection. So the notion that it is a useless organ is not really valid. #DrMaran #Appendicitis #Appendectomy #GastroChennai #GastroenterologistChennai #SpringfieldWellnessCentre

An Appendix is a tube or worm like structure that exists at the juncture of the small and large intestine. To be precise, it is connected to the cecum, which is a pouch-like structure of the large intestine or the colon. It is medically termed Vermiform Appendix. The average length of the human appendix is 9 cm. Anatomically it is usually located in the right side of lower abdomen near the right hip bone.  #DrMaran   #Appendicitis   #Appendectomy #GastroChennai   #GastroenterologistChennai #SpringfieldWellnessCentre   #Laparoscopy #LaparoscopicAppendicectom y

#Obesity is indeed a big risk factor for #Hernia. Abdominal pressure of an obese person is typically higher. This abnormal pressure can either induce #Hernia or can make #Hernia surgeries more complex. It should also be borne in mind that after the #Hernia surgery, the chances of the #Hernia recurring is very high in obese individuals. Because the excess fat does not allow the Hernia mesh to settle and get fixed. Slippage of mesh is quite common. So it is imperative that you control your weight. #DrMaran #FightObesity #FightHernia #SpringfieldWellnessCentre

How much weight do you lose after Bariatric Surgery? This is the most important question of all times lingering in the mind of an individual who is morbidly obese and is planning to undergo a bariatric surgery. So how much weight does one exactly reduce after undergoing weight loss surgery? “On an average an individual may lose up to 70% of his excess weight”, says Dr Maran who does bariatric surgery in Chennai regularly. Subtracting your actual weight from the ideal weight gives excess weight. Consequently, the ideal weight is the weight your body should be for your age and height.

It is widely believed that an obstruction to the lumen of the Appendix may be the reason. The obstruction to the lumen may be partial or complete. The obstruction is generally caused by the faecal matter which accumulates inside the appendix to cause inflammation. This infla...
