Small Intestine Surgery at DRHC Dubai

At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) Dubai, we offer expert diagnosis and advanced surgical solutions for a wide range of small intestine conditions. Our highly experienced gastrointestinal surgeons utilize both traditional and minimally invasive techniques to ensure effective treatment with faster recovery and minimal discomfort.

What Is Small Intestine Surgery?

Small intestine surgery refers to procedures performed to treat various diseases and disorders affecting the duodenum, jejunum, or ileum—the three segments of the small intestine. These surgeries may involve the removal of a portion of the intestine (resection), repair of perforations or obstructions, or treatment of tumors, bleeding, or inflammatory disease.

Conditions That May Require Small Intestine Surgery

At DRHC Dubai, our specialists manage a variety of conditions that may need surgical intervention, including:

• Small bowel obstruction (due to adhesions, hernias, or tumors)
• Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory bowel conditions
• Gastrointestinal bleeding
• Small intestine tumors (benign or malignant)
• Ischemic bowel disease (reduced blood flow to the intestine)
• Trauma or perforation of the small bowel
• Meckel’s diverticulum
• Malabsorption syndromes requiring surgical correction
• Intussusception (a condition more common in children but can occur in adults)

Diagnosis & Evaluation

Before recommending surgery, our specialists perform a thorough diagnostic workup, which may include:

• Blood tests
• Abdominal ultrasound or CT scan
• MRI of the abdomen
• Capsule endoscopy or enteroscopy
• Barium studies

Once the underlying cause is identified, our team develops a personalized treatment plan focused on the best possible outcomes.

Types of Small Intestine Surgeries Performed at DRHC

• Small Bowel Resection
  Removal of a diseased or damaged segment of the intestine, followed by reconnection of the healthy ends (anastomosis).
• Adhesiolysis
  Surgical removal of scar tissue (adhesions) that cause obstruction or pain.
• Tumor Excision
  Removal of benign or malignant tumors from the small intestine, with or without part of the surrounding bowel.
• Repair of Perforation or Fistulas
  Surgical closure and repair of abnormal openings or leaks in the intestine.
• Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive) Small Bowel Surgery
  Whenever possible, we perform laparoscopic procedures to reduce surgical trauma, postoperative pain, and recovery time.
