Arthroscopic Surgery in India

What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopic surgery (also known as keyhole surgery) is that procedure where the doctor looks inside a joint in your body through a thin viewing instrument, called an arthroscope. He examines joint surfaces and surrounding soft tissues, ligaments, cartilage and then provides a cushion between the bones. This process is used in the diagnoses of a joint problem, and then perform surgery for repairing any joint problem, removing a loose or foreign body, or for monitoring a disease or the end result of any treatment. It is performed on shoulder, elbow, knee, wrist, hip and ankle.
During the process, arthroscope with attached light source and a video camera is inserted into the joint through an incision made in the skin. The images can be seen on the monitor which give a proper view of the condition of the patient's joints. When surgery is performed, more instruments are inserted into the joints through smaller incisions.

Arthroscopy Why it's done - Tests and Procedures

Arthroscopy is done in following cases:

  • For evaluating and diagnosing problem in a joint problem other diagnostic tests do not prove to be helpful
  • For performing surgery to repair a joint problem that includes the following :
  1. Repairing or trimming soft tissues
  2. Damaged or torn cartilage
  3. Cutting, repairing or reconstructing ligaments
  4. Removal of calcium deposit from bone tissue
  5. Removal of an inflamed scar tissue of joint lining
  6. Collecting samples of joint fluid

Types Of Arthroscopy

  • Knee - The doctor looks inside the patient's knee to find out what exactly is causing the problem and what the problem actually is. Whether there is a tear of one of the cartilages or whether one of the ligaments within the knee joint is torn. Another reason may be a loose piece of bone in the knee joint or there might arthritis in part of the knee. After diagnosis, the surgery is done
  • Shoulder - The doctor looks inside the patient's shoulder to diagnose the exact problem and its cause. There can be a number of problems for which surgery can be required such as in some people, the shoulder might be coming out of the joint. In others, the condition of the tendons above the shoulder joint has to be seen.
  • Wrist - In wrist arthroscopy, the surgeon diagnoses and treats various problems related to the patient's wrist with the help of a number of extremely small incisions. According to statistics, during the last 5 years, wrist has become the third most common joint to undergo arthroscopy, after knee and shoulder. Since the incisions are smaller, the pain, swelling and stiffness are also reduced with quicker recovery.
  • Elbow - In elbow arthroscopy, the surgeon inserts arthroscope (with an attached camera), into the patient's elbow joint. The camera shows the pictures on the TV monitor and the surgeon uses these pictures for guiding his surgical instruments. He makes small cuts in the elbow makes the pain and swelling less but recover faster.
  • Hip - In hip arthroscopy, the surgeon performs his task by making small incisions that are around 1 cm each, using a camera so that he can look inside the hip joint. This process is much less invasive than the other traditional procedures.

Coronary Angioplasty Treatments in India With Surgery Tours India

Coronary Angioplasty Treatments  India

Procedure for Coronary Angioplasty

Angioplasty is derived from the words 'Angio' meaning vessel and plasticos which means fit for molding. Angioplasty is a medical procedure which involves the alteration of a narrowed or obstructed vascular lumen usually caused by atheroma. All kinds of vascular interventions performed in minimally invasive or percutaneous method are a part of the angioplasty. Angioplasty was first used in 1977 where a tiny balloon was used to open and widen narrowed arteries. Now the procedure has improved with the use of modern devices like stents, laser and new methods.

Procedure for Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary Angioplasty also known as percutaneous coronary intervention involves a small incision to be made in the arm or groin to find an artery. The cardiologist leads a thin wire through the incision to the blocked artery. As soon as the wire reaches the blocked artery, a catheter with a deflated balloon is passed over the inserted wire to the blocked area. When the tube reaches the blockage the balloon is inflated which in turn widens the artery the increase the blood flow. Plaque removers may be used to remove the deposited plaque from the walls of the artery. Modern devices like stents are used to keep the artery open. A stent is permanently fixed. After about 4 to 5 hours of the Coronary Angioplasty the wire and catheter are removed.

How long does the Coronary Angioplasty procedure take?

Percutaneous coronary intervention usually takes about 2 hours. During the procedure, the patient is kept awake but feels drowsy due to the effect of medication given to him.

Coronary Angioplasty Facilities

The Cardiologists at Hospitals have pioneered Coronary Artery Stenting in India. They have specialized in techniques including Percutaneous Transluminal Septal Myocardial Ablation.

There has been a latest advancement in Coronary Angiopalsty in the form of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), which is available in India too.

  • Crohn's diseases
  • Psoriasis
  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus

Chemotherapy slows down the cancer growth and stops them from dividing quickly. This therapy kills cancer cells as well as healthy cells which may cause side effects. But side effects become negligible once chemo is over.

What Does Chemotherapy Do?

Chemotherapy is used to cure and control cancer. Once the cells are destroyed by chemotherapy then cancer cells will never grow back. It stops cancer cells from spreading and growing in other parts of your body. It also shrinks tumors which causes pain.

How is Chemotherapy Used?


Chemotherapy is used as a cancer treatment but may be combined with surgery, radiation therapy,Oral chemo medications and biological therapy as per severity. In neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, large tumor is shrinked before surgery or radiation therapy. In adjuvant chemotherapy, cancer cells that may remain live after surgery or radiation therapy are destructed. Radiation therapy and biological therapy is the best combination to make it work better. Recurrent cancer or cancer cells (metastatic) which appear again or may spread in the body are destructed with chemotherapy. Induction chemotherapy is used for curative intent.Consolidation chemotherapy is for improving overall survival and to make body cancer free. If detected with side effects, your doctor or nurse will immediately make changes in medications.

Cardiac bypass surgery in India low cost advantages

cardiac bypass surgery  India

What Is Cardiac Bypass Surgery?

Cardiac bypass surgery is a procedure that restores the flow of the blood to the heart, when there obstruction occurs due to blockages in one or more arteries. These arteries are bypassed by using blood vessels taken from the other parts of the body like chest and legs. The blood vessels bypasses over the blocked artery to create new pathways for oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart. These blood vessels restore and improve the blood flow to the heart. This surgery is usually performed with the heart stopped, necessitating the usage of cardiopulmonary bypass; techniques are available to perform bypass surgery on a beating heart, so-called "off-pump" surgery. Depending on the number of blocked coronary arteries, a patient may need one, two, three or more bypasses.

  • Patient has an artery blockage for which angioplasty isn't appropriate and had a previous angioplasty or stent placement that hasn't been successful, or had stent placement but the artery has narrowed again.
  • Cardiac bypass surgery is also done in emergencies conditions like heart attack when other treatments are not responding.
The goals of cardiac bypass surgery is to relieve symptoms of coronary artery disease such as chest pain (angina) and /or shortness of breath (including angina), which enables the patient to resume a normal lifestyle and to lower the risk of a heart attack or other heart problems.

With surgery chances of life expectancy is more, however reoccurrence following surgery can be fatal & often causing death.

What Is Colon Cancer?

This cancer starts from the inner wall of large intestine which begins as a small polyp. These abnormal cells have the ability to spread to the other parts of body. Also gastrointestinal stromal tumors can occur in the colon. The polyps can be detected with the regular screening or colonoscopy or done by barium enema with biopsy confirmation of cancer tissue.

Causes of Colon Cancer

The leading cause of colon cancer is genetics i.e. this group accounts for 25% of colorectal cancers since it includes familial polyposis, hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch syndrome variants I & II, history of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's colitis & history of ovarian, endometrial, or breast cancer.

Radiation Therapy:

The high-energy x-rays are used to destroy the cancer cells in radiation therapy. The beam of high-energy rays is focused on the tumor to kill the cancer cells of the tumor without affecting the surrounding tissues and cells.

Chemotherapy:

The cancer cells are destroyed using drugs which stop the growing and dividing ability of the cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be given through pills and capsules that are swallowed or through the intravenous tube placed into the vein.

Targeted Therapy:

This treatment targets the cancer-specific genes, proteins or the tissue environment that contributes the growth of cancer and survival. The procedure blocks the growth and spread of cancer cells while limiting the damage to the healthy ones.

Cost of Colon Cancer Treatment

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery India | Surgery Tours India

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery India

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

laparoscopic hernia repair is basically a minimally invasive surgical procedure used in repair of most types of hernia. A hernia is caused when the internal organs or tissues bulge out and can be seen straining against the abdominal wall noticeably.

Hernias are seen in various parts of the body such as abdomen, diaphragm, groin, brain and at previous surgery sites. Many different methods are used to treat or repair hernia including hernioplasty, herniorrhaphy and herniotomy although laparoscopic hernia repair is still considered to be most convenient and efficient than other traditional hernia repair methods.

A laparoscopic hernia repair procedure is used to treat various types of hernias such as umbilical hernia, femoral hernia, inguinal hernia, etc.

How is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair surgery performed?

hernia repair surgery is to correct the abnormal bulge caused by bulging internal organ or tissue accumulation. The hernia repair may be performed using the more conventional open-type surgical method which is more time-consuming and extensive. The latest technique in repairing hernias is the minimally invasive surgical method known as 'laparoscopic hernia repair surgery'.

The laparoscopic hernia repair surgery is similar to other minimally invasive procedures. The surgery requires administering general anesthesia to the patient. A very small (keyhole) incision is made in the navel or just below it. The surgeon will fill carbon dioxide gas in the abdominal cavity through this incision in order to inflate it and get a better view of all the abdominal organs and tissues.

A thin and flexible tube (laparoscope) is inserted from this keyhole incision. This laparoscope is initially fitted with a cold light-source and a video camera at its end so the surgeon can get a good visual of the abdominal organs and tissues on the video monitor. The surgeon then uses specialized tiny surgical instruments attached to similar flexible tubes to perform the surgical procedure. This involves the surgeon repairing the hernia by pushing it back to its original position and preventing the bulging of the organ or the herniated tissue. After shifting the herniated tissue back into its original position the surgeon will use a surgical mesh to be fixed over the previously herniated tissue to prevent it from bulging out again in the future.

A laparoscopic hernia repair is known to be considerably less painful and also decreases the amount of time spent in the hospital as well as the recovery period.

Why is a Laparoscopic Hernia Repair required?

laparoscopic hernia repair is one of the more convenient and efficient methods of repairing herniated organs and tissues, especially in the abdominal region. A surgical repair is required for painful hernias including strangulated or incarcerated hernias. For children with inguinal hernias a surgery is the most ideal treatment method.
