Brain Tumors – Expert Diagnosis, Surgical Precision & Lifesaving Care

Advanced Neurosurgical and Oncological Management for Brain Masses
A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within the brain or its surrounding structures. It can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and symptoms can range from subtle to severe. At Grandville Medical & Laser, we offer comprehensive brain tumor care — from early detection and diagnosis to surgical removal and rehabilitation — all under the care of our multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, oncologists, intensivists, and neurologists.
⸻
Types of Brain Tumors We Manage
🔹 Primary brain tumors – originating in the brain (e.g., meningioma, glioma, astrocytoma)
🔹 Secondary (metastatic) tumors – spread from cancers elsewhere (e.g., breast, lung)
🔹 Benign tumors – e.g., meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, acoustic neuromas
🔹 Malignant tumors – e.g., glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), medulloblastomas
🔹 Intraventricular or skull base tumors
🔹 Tumors in critical locations – brainstem, cerebellum, or deep brain structures
⸻
Common Symptoms of Brain Tumors
  • Persistent or worsening headaches
  • Nausea and vomiting (especially in the morning)
  • Seizures or convulsions
  • Weakness or numbness in limbs
  • Blurred vision or double vision
  • Speech or hearing changes
  • Memory loss or confusion
  • •Personality or mood changes

  • Intraoperative monitoring and neuronavigation
  • Maximal safe resection with function preservation
💊 Adjunct Therapies (as needed)

Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy) – Lasting Relief from Gallstone Pain

Safe, Expert Surgery to Treat Gallstones, Infections & Gallbladder Disease
The gallbladder is a small organ beneath the liver that stores bile — a fluid that helps digest fat. Sometimes, it forms gallstones, which can cause pain, infection, and serious complications. When gallstones cause symptoms, the most effective treatment is surgical removal of the gallbladder, also known as a cholecystectomy.
At Grandville Medical & Laser, our skilled surgeons perform both laparoscopic (keyhole) and open cholecystectomy, using modern techniques to ensure fast recovery, minimal scarring, and long-term comfort.
⸻
When Is Gallbladder Removal Needed?
✅ Gallstones (cholelithiasis) causing pain or blockages
✅ Gallbladder infection (cholecystitis)
✅ Pancreatitis caused by gallstones
✅ Gallbladder polyps or sludge
✅ Biliary dyskinesia (poor gallbladder function)
✅ Suspected gallbladder cancer (rare)
⸻
Common Symptoms Requiring Evaluation
  • Pain in the upper right abdomen (often after eating)
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Bloating or indigestion
  • Fever or chills (if infected)
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
Gallbladder attacks can be severe and unpredictable — don’t wait until it becomes an emergency.
⸻
How We Perform Gallbladder Surgery at Grandville
🔹 Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Preferred Option)
  • Minimally invasive – 3–4 small incisions
  • Uses a camera and instruments to remove the gallbladder
  • Less pain, faster recovery, minimal scarring
  • Typically done as a same-day or overnight procedure
🔹 Open Cholecystectomy (When Needed)
  • Required if the gallbladder is severely inflamed or scarred
  • One incision under the right ribcage
  • Slightly longer recovery, but safe and effective
⸻
What to Expect Before & After Surgery
📋 Before Surgery
  • Pre-operative blood tests and abdominal ultrasound
  • Fasting for several hours
  • Discussion of medical history and anesthesia
🛌 After Surgery
  • You can usually go home within 24 hours (laparoscopic)
  • Resume light activity in 2–3 days
  • Full recovery within 1–2 weeks
  • No special diet needed after healing
⸻

Peptic Ulcers – Diagnosis, Treatment & Long-Term Relief

Expert Care for Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers
A peptic ulcer is a sore or open wound that forms in the lining of the stomach, small intestine (duodenum), or esophagus. It often causes burning pain, discomfort after meals, and even bleeding. At Grandville Medical & Laser, our gastrointestinal specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment of ulcers using the latest diagnostics, medications, and lifestyle support to heal the ulcer and prevent recurrence.
⸻
What Causes Peptic Ulcers?
🔹 Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterial infection

⸻
Common Symptoms of Peptic Ulcer
  • Burning or gnawing pain in the upper abdomen
  • Pain that improves or worsens with food
  • Nausea or bloating
  • Loss of appetite or unintentional weight loss
  • Vomiting (may include blood in severe cases)
  • Black or tarry stools (sign of internal bleeding)
Some ulcers are silent — especially in the elderly or those on chronic medications — making screening important for at-risk patients.
⸻
How We Diagnose Peptic Ulcers
🩺 Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation
•Detailed history of symptoms and risk factors
🧪 Diagnostic Testing
  • H. pylori testing (stool antigen, breath test, or biopsy)
  • Blood tests for anemia or infection
  • Gastroscopy (endoscopy) – direct visualization of the ulcer, with possible biopsy
  • Abdominal ultrasound (if complications are suspected)
⸻
Our Ulcer Treatment Approach
💊 Medication-Based Treatment
  • Antibiotics to eliminate H. pylori (if present)
  • Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) to reduce stomach acid
  • Antacids and mucosal protectants
  • Discontinuation or substitution of ulcer-causing drugs (e.g., NSAIDs)
🥗 Lifestyle & Nutritional Support
  • Customized ulcer-friendly diet plans
  • Smoking/alcohol cessation support
  • Stress reduction and healthy eating habits
🛌 Treatment of Complications
  • Bleeding ulcers, perforation, or obstruction may require endoscopic or surgical intervention
  • Hospital admission for severe or recurrent cases
