Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the appendix, a small, tube-like structure attached to the large intestine. This procedure is performed using small incisions and specialized instruments, including a camera called a laparoscope, which allows surgeons to view the internal organs on a monitor. The primary purpose of a laparoscopic appendectomy is to treat appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix that can lead to serious complications if not addressed promptly.

Colonoscopy is a medical procedure that allows healthcare providers to examine the inner lining of the large intestine, which includes the rectum and colon. This examination is performed using a flexible tube called a colonoscope, equipped with a light and camera. The colonoscope is inserted through the rectum and advanced through the colon, providing real-time images of the intestinal lining.  
 

What is the SpyGlass^TM DS Direct Visualization System?

The SpyGlass^TM DS Direct Visualization System is a breakthrough innovation in cholangioscopy, which overcomes the shortcomings of traditional cholangioscopes. It provides a unique and unmatched direct visualization of all bile-duct quadrants, enabling life-saving treatment of hepatobiliary disorders.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a specialized medical procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas. This minimally invasive technique allows healthcare providers to visualize the biliary and pancreatic ducts, which are crucial for digestion and the elimination of waste products from the liver and pancreas.

What is Craniotomy?

Craniotomy is the surgical removal of a part of the bone from the skull to access the brain underneath. The section of skull which is temporarily removed is called a bone flap. Once surgery is completed it is placed back in its original position.

Why is it done?

Craniotomy is performed to treat several brain abnormalities such as:

Burr hole evacuation for chronic subdural hematoma is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat a specific type of brain bleed known as a chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). This condition occurs when blood collects between the outer layer of the brain (the dura mater) and the brain itself, often as a result of head trauma, even if the injury occurred weeks or months prior. The accumulation of blood can create pressure on the brain, leading to various neurological symptoms.

What is the Truebeam STx with Velocity?

Varian’s Truebeam STx with Velocity is an advanced radiotherapy system engineered to deliver more powerful cancer treatments with speed and precision. It facilitates unique integration of advanced imaging and motion management technologies to deliver radiation more quickly.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a medical treatment that utilizes light-sensitive compounds, known as photosensitizers, to target and destroy abnormal cells. This innovative procedure combines the use of a specific wavelength of light with these compounds to activate them, leading to a chemical reaction that ultimately kills the targeted cells. PDT is primarily used in the treatment of various types of cancer, as well as certain skin conditions and infections.

Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy that involves placing a radioactive source directly inside or very close to a tumor. This targeted approach allows for a high dose of radiation to be delivered to the cancerous tissue while minimizing exposure to the surrounding healthy tissues. The procedure is often used in the treatment of various cancers, including prostate, breast, cervical, and skin cancers.

VenaSeal Closure is a minimally invasive medical procedure designed to treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). This innovative technique utilizes a specialized medical adhesive to close off problematic veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, making it a comfortable option for patients seeking relief from the symptoms associated with venous disorders.
