Your doctor has told you that need to undergo shoulder replacement surgery. But what does that actually mean?

As you move your arm, the ball-shaped end of the upper arm, or humerus, moves against a cup-like depression in shoulder bone, or scapula.
As long as the upper arm can slide against the shoulder, you are able to move your arm comfortably. But over time, especially in patients who suffer from arthritis, the shoulder joint can wear down. Medical Malpractice

Cartilage, the tissue that cushions the bones and makes it possible for them to move smoothly against each other can wear away.

When this happens, the bones run together, causing pain and restricting arm movement. No matter what the cause, one of the most effective ways to fix a damaged shoulder is to replace it surgically.

In this procedure, the ball-shaped bone at the top of the upper arm is removed …
… and replaced with a metal substitute. Medical Malpractice

The shoulder socket is widened and lined with a smooth pad that allows the metal ball joint to move more freely against the shoulder blade.
Shoulder replacement surgery is a major operation, but your doctor believes that the procedure — followed up with physical therapy and time to heal — will result in reduced pain and greater mobility.

So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation. Medical Malpractice

Then the surgeon will use a gloved hand to conduct a vaginal examination and will check the size and location of the uterus by pressing on your lower abdomen.
A metal or plastic vaginal speculum is used to gently expand the vagina and allow access to the cervix.
Once the cervix is visible, a forcep is used to grasp the front lip of the cervix – causing the uterus to open a little.
Using a blunt-tipped probe, the surgeon carefully measures the length of the uterus and takes a small sample of tissue from the cervical canal.
Next, the surgeon will dilate, or open the cervix, using a series of progressively larger metal rods called dilators.
When the cervix has expanded sufficiently, the doctor will use a spoon-shaped instrument called a curette to gently scrape out the lining of the uterus. In some cases, surge
When the entire lining of the uterus has been removed, the instruments are withdrawn.
The tissue removed will then be sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a balloon angioplasty. But what does that actually mean?

The heart is located in the center of the chest. It’s job is to keep blood continually circulating throughout the body.
Malpractice Medical
The blood vessels that supply the body with oxygen-rich blood are called arteries.

The arteries that supplies blood to the heart muscle itself are called coronary arteries.

Sometimes, these blood vessels can narrow or become blocked by plaque deposits, restricting normal blood flow.
Malpractice Medical
In simple terms, a balloon angioplasty is a procedure used to increase the amount of blood flowing through the coronary artery.

During a balloon angioplasty, a heart specialist will insert a thin tube into an artery in your arm or leg and gently guide it towards the problem area in your heart.
Malpractice Medical
Once the tube is in place, a small balloon is briefly inflated in order to widen the narrowed artery.

During and after the procedure, your doctor will take x-rays in order to monitor your progress.

Then, when you are asleep, the surgical team will make an incision just above the navel.
A tube-shaped collar called a trocar will be placed inside the incision to hold it open.
Harmless carbon dioxide gas will be used to inflate the abdomen, serving to enlarge the work area and to separate the organs. medical malpractice
The team then inserts the laparoscope.
Once in place, the laparoscope will provide video images that allow the surgeon to see the inside of your abdomen.
Next, the team makes four more incisions – taking special care to keep the openings as small as possible. These openings will provide access for other surgical instruments.
Once the team has a clear view of the stomach, your doctor will insert a special tube into your mouth and throat. The surgical team guides the tube into your abdomen until the tip reaches the top of the stomach. Medical Malpractice
At the tip of the tube there is a balloon. Your doctor will inflate the balloon when it is in position. Using the position of the balloon as a guide, your doctor will create a space around the stomach.
Next, the team will insert an adjustable band into the abdomen.
After deflating the balloon, your doctor will guide the band until it circles the top of the stomach.
Once the band is in place, the team will check the position by re-inflating the balloon.
After making any final adjustments to the position of the band, your doctor will tighten and lock it into place. Next, the team will fill the band with saline solution causing it to further tighten around the stomach. Medical Malpractice
To keep the band in place, a portion of the stomach will be pulled over the band and secured with 4 or 5 stitches. The remaining portion of the tube used to pass saline into the band will be trimmed and a special valve will be attached.
The valve will be sutured into place just below the skin in the upper left area of the abdomen. This valve will allow your doctor to adjust the tightness of the band and control the size of the opening into your stomach.

Your doctor will then lift your penis upward.
A well-lubricated cystoscope is gently inserted into the urethra,
the opening at the head of the penis, and slowly guided inward.
When the cystoscope reaches the back of the penis, your doctor will pull the penis downward in order to create a straight path into the bladder.
Once the cystoscope is inside the bladder, your doctor will inject a small amount of water through the cystoscope and into the bladder. medical malpractice
The water serves to expand the bladder, helping your doctor to better examine the interior. It also helps by washing away any blood or remaining urine.
You may feel a sense of fullness as though you need to urinate. You’ll be encouraged to relax and not to try to retain the water in your bladder.
As the team completes it’s inspection, they’ll be looking for suspicious tissues. If they find bladder stones, your doctor may try to crush these so that they can pass out of the bladder during normal urination. Medical Malpractice
If the team finds a suspicious growth they will use a special grasping tool to take a sample of tissue in order to send to a laboratory for analysis.
When the inspection is complete, your doctor will remove the cystoscope and you’ll be asked to empty your bladder.
Your doctor will probably ask you to wear a temporary Foley catheter. Malpractice Medical
A Foley catheter is a narrow tube inserted through your urethra and into your bladder. The catheter is connected to a bag that is attached to your leg by a strap. While the Foley catheter is in place, urine will pass from your bladder into the bag. You will not need to urinate into a toilet.
The nurse will show you how to change the bag when it is full. An appointment will be made for you to return to the doctor’s office in a couple of days to have the catheter removed.
As soon as the anesthesia wears off and you feel comfortable, you’ll be allowed to leave.
