Five Operating Rooms: Equipped with the latest technology to perform a wide range of surgeries, ensuring efficiency and safety.
Eight Recovery Beds: Ensuring patients receive the necessary care and monitoring post-surgery in a peaceful, controlled environment.

Surgical Specialties

Our department offers a broad range of surgical specialties, including:

Laparoscopic Surgery: Minimally invasive techniques are employed to treat various conditions, reducing recovery time and postoperative discomfort. These techniques allow for smaller incisions, leading to less trauma and quicker healing.
Weight Loss Surgery (Obesity Surgery): Our surgical weight loss options, including gastric sleeve surgery, are designed to help patients achieve significant weight loss and improve overall health and quality of life. Gastric sleeve surgery involves the reduction of stomach size, which promotes early satiety and weight loss.
Advanced Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery: Utilizing highly advanced technology, we treat all types of hernias laparoscopically, ensuring effective and efficient recovery. Laparoscopic hernia repair minimizes recovery time and postoperative pain, allowing patients to return to their normal activities faster.
Anorectal Surgery: We employ new advanced techniques to treat hemorrhoids and anal fistulas with minimally invasive procedures, resulting in less post-operative pain and faster recovery. Our surgeons are skilled in innovative techniques that emphasize patient comfort and quick recovery times.

Laparoscopic Unit

Most of our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive surgical techniques. Our Laparoscopic Unit offers advanced laparoscopic surgeries to treat various conditions, including:

Gallstones: Removal of gallstones with minimal incision and quicker recovery times, allowing patients to return to regular activities more rapidly.
Hernia: Effective treatment of hernias using advanced laparoscopic techniques significantly reduces recovery time and post-operative discomfort.
Appendicitis: Quick and minimally invasive removal of the appendix helps in a faster recovery compared to traditional methods.
Intestinal and Colorectal Tumors: Precise removal of tumors allows for minimal impact on surrounding tissues, contributing to better postoperative recovery.
Rectal Prolapse: Repair of rectal prolapse using minimally invasive methods simplifies recovery and minimizes pain.
Incisional Hernia: Treatment of hernias that occur at the site of a previous surgical incision can also be performed laparoscopically for a faster recovery.

Obesity and Metabolic Unit

Our Obesity and Metabolic Unit is dedicated to providing efficient nutritional advice and specializes in laparoscopic surgery procedures such as:

Gastric Banding: A reversible procedure that involves placing a band around the upper part of the stomach to limit food intake, promoting gradual and sustainable weight loss.
Sleeve Gastrectomy: A stomach operation for weight loss that involves removing a portion of the stomach to significantly reduce its size. This procedure promotes early satiety and helps patients lose a substantial amount of weight, leading to improved overall health outcomes and quality of life.
Gastric Bypass: A more complex operation to lose weight that alters the digestive system to limit food intake and nutrient absorption. Patients often experience significant and rapid weight loss, which can lead to the resolution of obesity-related health issues such as diabetes and hypertension.

Our experts in surgical weight loss not only assist you in losing weight but also aim to improve your overall health, well-being, and self-esteem, providing comprehensive support throughout the process.

Pre-Operative Care Processes

Preparing for weight loss surgery involves careful planning and consideration:

Nutritional Counseling: Before undergoing weight loss surgery, patients meet with a registered dietitian who specializes in bariatric nutrition. This session is essential for understanding the changes in eating habits that will be necessary post-surgery. Patients learn about portion sizes, food choices, and how to incorporate a balanced diet into their new lifestyle, emphasizing protein intake and nutrient-rich foods.
Psychological Evaluation: Understanding the emotional aspects of weight loss is crucial. Patients often undergo psychological assessments to evaluate their readiness for surgery and address any psychological barriers to successful weight loss. Support from mental health professionals can enhance long-term success and foster a healthier relationship with food.
Comprehensive Medical Assessment: Prior to surgery, a complete medical evaluation ensures patients are physically prepared for the procedure. This may include blood tests, imaging studies, and consultations with specialists to assess and manage any pre-existing conditions.
Education about the Procedure: Patients attend educational sessions where they learn about the surgical process, expected outcomes, and the importance of lifestyle changes following surgery. Understanding what to expect can alleviate anxiety and set the stage for a successful transition.

Post-Operative Care Processes

After weight loss surgery, patients receive comprehensive support to ensure optimal recovery:

Ongoing Nutritional Guidance: Post-surgery, patients continue to work with their dietitian to make adjustments as they learn to cope with their new stomach size. Guidance focuses on gradual reintroduction of solid foods, vitamin supplementation, and lifelong healthy eating habits.
Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up visits are crucial for monitoring progress and addressing complications. These appointments provide patients with an opportunity to discuss any issues faced during recovery and adjust their care plans as needed.
Support Groups: Engaging with peer support groups can enhance recovery. Sharing experiences with others on similar journeys fosters a sense of community and accountability, helping patients stay motivated and encouraged.
Physical Activity Guidance: A tailored exercise program is developed post-surgery to help patients safely increase physical activity levels as they recover. Regular exercise plays a vital role in sustaining weight loss, improving mood, and enhancing overall health.
Mental Health Support: Addressing the emotional aspects after surgery is just as important as the physical recovery. Access to mental health resources, including counseling and support groups, helps patients navigate their emotions and develop effective coping strategies for long-term success.

Mental Health Support During the Weight Loss Journey

The journey to weight loss through surgical interventions can be as challenging emotionally as it is physically. At CSH Dubai, we recognize the significance of mental health support throughout this process. Understanding how to navigate the emotional landscape of weight loss is vital for long-term success and well-being.

Emotional Challenges: Patients may experience a range of emotions during their weight loss journey, including anxiety, depression, or feelings of doubt. Recognizing and addressing these emotions is crucial to sustaining motivation and ensuring adherence to lifestyle changes.
Counseling Services: We offer counseling services where patients can speak confidentially with trained professionals. These sessions provide a safe space to discuss feelings, address barriers to weight loss, and explore coping strategies. Skilled counselors help patients navigate their emotions and reinforce positive self-image.
Support Groups: Connecting with others who are experiencing similar challenges can be immensely beneficial. Our peer support groups provide a network of encouragement, understanding, and friendship. Sharing experiences, challenges, and successes fosters a sense of community and reduces feelings of isolation.
Mindfulness and Stress Management: We emphasize the importance of mindfulness techniques and stress management strategies that can help patients cultivate a healthier mental space. These practices can reinforce positive habits and assist in handling stress, enhancing the overall weight loss experience.
Ongoing Support: Mental health support is not limited to pre-operative phases; it continues through the recovery process. Our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to ensuring patients receive the ongoing care necessary to promote both physical and emotional health long after surgery.
