An abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus through an incision made in the lower abdomen. This operation is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the complexity of the case. The uterus is the organ in a woman's body where a fetus develops during pregnancy, and its removal can be necessary for various medical reasons
A vaginal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus through the vagina. Unlike abdominal hysterectomy, which involves a belly incision, a vaginal approach allows for a less invasive technique, often resulting in a quicker recovery and less postoperative pain. The primary purpose of this procedure is to treat various gynecological conditions that affect a woman's health and quality of life.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located under the liver on the right side of your abdomen. Its primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver that helps break down fats in the small intestine.
A Coronary Angiogram is a specialised medical imaging procedure used to visualise the blood vessels of the heart. This procedure is crucial for diagnosing and assessing coronary artery disease (CAD), which occurs when the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup. During a Coronary Angiogram, a contrast dye is injected into the coronary arteries through a thin tube called a catheter, which is typically inserted through the wrist or groin.
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a surgery that enhances blood flow to the heart by creating a bypass around the blocked or narrowed artery. CABG is performed to treat patient suffering from severe Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) also known as Coronary Artery Disease. CHD is a disorder in which fatty substances (plaque) builds up in the walls of arteries, thus causing partial or complete blockage of coronary arteries which further restricts the supply of oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the heart.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat aortic stenosis, a condition where the aortic valve narrows, restricting blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. This narrowing can lead to serious complications, including heart failure, chest pain, and even death if left untreated. TAVR offers a less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery, making it a suitable option for patients who may be at high risk for surgical complications.
Coronary Angioplasty or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a procedure used to open narrowed or blocked heart arteries (coronary arteries). Angioplasty improves the blood flow in coronary arteries which further improves symptoms caused due to blocked heart arteries, such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
The Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology has transformed the way hip and knee replacement surgeries are being performed. The Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology is controlled by the Orthopaedic surgeon, who uses the uniquely designed Mako System software to generate a 3D model of the patient’s hip or knee and creates a pre-operative plan. Mako robotic-arm removes the diseased bone and cartilage and the implant is placed while protecting the surrounding soft tissues.
Open Sleeve Gastrectomy is a surgical weight-loss procedure designed to help individuals struggling with obesity. This operation involves the removal of a significant portion of the stomach, resulting in a sleeve-like structure that resembles a banana. The primary purpose of Open Sleeve Gastrectomy is to reduce the stomach's capacity, which limits food intake and promotes a feeling of fullness after consuming smaller portions. By altering the stomach's size and shape, this procedure not only aids in weight loss but also helps improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions.
Laparoscopic Gastric Banding is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to assist individuals struggling with obesity. Historically, a common bariatric procedure, it involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch that limits food intake. The band is connected to a port placed under the skin, allowing for adjustments to be made post-surgery. The primary purpose of Laparoscopic Gastric Banding is to promote weight loss by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, thereby reducing overall caloric intake.
