General Practitioners

Emergency Care
Dr. Elieson is a fantastic surgeon. I went into the emergency room on Easter Sunday and he was kind enough to come in quickly and take care of my issue. My problem is now completely resolved thanks to his skill and compassion. I highly recommend him!
Colonoscopy
Ulcerative Colitis involves only the colon, rectum, and anus. Operative treatment is recommended for failure of medical therapy or because of the increased risk of cancer. Surgery involves removing the entire colon and rectum. A restorative proctocolectomy is a procedure that replaces the rectum with a pouch made from small bowel, which avoids the need for a permanent ileostomy. Some patients are not good candidates for this procedure and require a permanent ileostomy. Operations for inflammatory bowel disease require a 5 to 7 day hospital stay with 4 to 6 weeks of recovery.

Pregnancy

Colon Cancer
People at average risk for colon cancer should start screening no later than age 50. If you are at increased risk for colon cancer because of your personal or family history, screening should begin at a younger age. Speak with your doctor about when you should begin colon cancer screening.

Chemotherapy
Colectomy for colon and rectal cancer involves removing the cancerous part of the intestine and the adjacent lymph nodes. Colostomy is rarely required. For rectal cancers very near the anus a permanent colostomy may be necessary to ensure complete removal of the cancer. Depending on how advanced the cancer is, chemotherapy or radiation may be required. Colon surgery can be performed conventionally (open) through an incision on the abdomen, laparoscopically or with a robot-assisted technique. The hospital stay is usually 4 to 7 days. Appendicitis

General Surgery
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is the use of a viewing tube called a laparoscope to see the inside of the abdomen and pelvis. It can be performed to diagnose and surgically treat conditions of the abdomen. Through a small incision in the abdominal cavity the instruments can be inserted to perform the various steps in the procedure. The abdominal cavity is distended and made visible by the instillation of absorbable gas (generally carbon dioxide). Most patients receive general anesthesia during the procedure.

Ulcer
With the development of medications which reduce the production of acid by the stomach, operations for ulcer disease are much less common. Surgery currently is most often used to treat the complications of ulcer disease, i.e., bleeding, perforation, or obstruction. The operations typically involve removal of the acid producing part of the stomach, with or without division of the vagus nerves. (The vagus nerves carry the messages from the brain which stimulate the stomach to secrete acid.) The five environmental factors which contribute to ulcer disease are stress, caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, and aspirin-like medications. Cancer of the Stomach
