Lumbar Spine Surgery in India
Advanced Treatment for Lower Back and Spine Conditions Lumbar spine surgery in India offers advanced treatment options for patients suffering from chronic lower back pain, slipped discs, nerve compression, spinal stenosis, and other conditions affecting the lower spine. With experienced spine surgeons, modern hospitals, advanced technology, and affordable treatment options, India has become a preferred destination for international patients seeking high-quality spine care. The lumbar spine is located in the lower back and plays an important role in supporting body weight, movement, and stability. When conservative treatments such as medication, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes do not provide sufficient relief, surgery may be recommended depending on the patient's condition. What Is Lumbar Spine Surgery? Lumbar spine surgery refers to different surgical procedures performed to treat conditions affecting the lower back. The goal of surgery may be to relieve pressure on spinal nerves, remove damaged disc material, stabilize the spine, or improve mobility and quality of life. The type of surgery recommended depends on the patient's diagnosis, symptoms, medical history, and imaging results. Conditions Treated with Lumbar Spine Surgery Lumbar spine surgery may be considered for patients with conditions such as: Herniated or slipped disc Lumbar spinal stenosis Degenerative disc disease Spondylolisthesis Sciatica caused by nerve compression Spinal instability Recurrent disc problems Severe nerve compression Chronic lower back pain associated with specific spinal conditions A detailed evaluation by a qualified spine specialist is important to determine whether surgery is appropriate. Types of Lumbar Spine Surgery in India Lumbar Discectomy Lumbar discectomy is performed to remove the portion of a damaged or herniated disc that is pressing on a spinal nerve. The procedure may help relieve symptoms such as leg pain, numbness, and weakness caused by nerve compression. Microdiscectomy Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive procedure commonly used to treat a herniated lumbar disc. Using specialized surgical techniques, the surgeon removes the portion of the disc causing pressure on the nerve while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues. Lumbar Laminectomy Lumbar laminectomy involves removing a portion of the vertebral bone to create more space for the spinal nerves. It is commonly performed for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Spinal Fusion Surgery Spinal fusion is performed to stabilize two or more vertebrae. The procedure may be recommended for spinal instability, spondylolisthesis, degenerative conditions, or certain complex spine problems. Minimally Invasive Lumbar Spine Surgery Minimally invasive techniques use smaller incisions and specialized instruments to access the spine. Depending on the patient's condition, these procedures may result in less tissue disruption and support a faster recovery compared with traditional open surgery. Who May Need Lumbar Spine Surgery? Lumbar spine surgery may be considered when a patient experiences persistent symptoms that significantly affect daily life and do not improve with appropriate non-surgical treatment. Symptoms may include: Persistent lower back pain Pain radiating from the back to the legs Numbness or tingling in the legs Muscle weakness Difficulty walking or standing Severe nerve compression symptoms The decision for surgery should always be made after a comprehensive medical evaluation and consultation with an experienced spine specialist. Advanced Technology for Spine Treatment Leading hospitals in India use modern diagnostic and surgical technologies to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Depending on the hospital and procedure, patients may have access to advanced imaging, minimally invasive surgical techniques, navigation systems, and specialized rehabilitation services. The treatment approach is selected based on the individual patient's medical condition and clinical requirements. Recovery After Lumbar Spine Surgery Recovery after lumbar spine surgery varies depending on the procedure performed, the patient's overall health, and the complexity of the spinal condition. Following surgery, patients may receive: Pain management Physiotherapy and rehabilitation Mobility guidance Post-operative monitoring Instructions for returning to daily activities Your medical team will provide a personalized recovery plan based on your procedure and condition. Cost of Lumbar Spine Surgery in India The cost of lumbar spine surgery in India can vary depending on several factors, including: Type of surgery required Hospital and location Surgeon's experience Use of implants or specialized technology Length of hospital stay Patient's overall medical condition India generally offers affordable treatment options for international patients while providing access to modern hospitals and experienced medical specialists. For an accurate treatment estimate, patients should share their medical reports, MRI scans, and previous treatment history for evaluation.

World's Advanced Lung Cancer Treatment in India What is Lung Cancer? A Lung Cancer is when out-of-control cell growth occurs in one or both lungs. The cancer can arise in any part of the lung, but majority of it arises in the epithelial cells, which are the lining of the Bronchi and bronchioles i.e. the larger and the smaller airways of the lungs. Lung cancer is predominantly a disease of the elderly almost 70% of people diagnosed with lung cancer are over 65 years of age. Lung Cancer is largely classified into two main types based on the cancer's appearance under a microscope viz. Small Cell Carcinoma which accounts for only 20% of the total lung cancers and Non small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) which accounts for 80% of lung cancers. Diagnosis of Lung Cancer History and physical examination, and imaging with chest X-ray and CT scan or MRI. Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning is a specialized imaging technique that uses short-lived radioactive drugs to produce three-dimensional colored images of those substances in the tissues within the body, in a growing tumor. Bone scans are used to create images of bones on a computer screen or on film. Sputum cytology: The diagnosis of lung cancer requires confirmation of malignant cells by a pathologist. The simplest method to establish the diagnosis is the examination of sputum under a microscope. Bronchoscopy: Examination of the airways through a probe inserted through the nose or mouth may reveal areas of tumor that can be sampled (biopsied) for diagnosis by a pathologist. Needle biopsy: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) through the skin, most commonly performed with radiological imaging for guidance, may be useful in retrieving cells for diagnosis from tumor nodules in the lungs. Thoracentesis: Sometimes lung cancers lead to an accumulation of fluid in the space between the lungs and chest wall (called a pleural effusion). Aspiration of a sample of this fluid with a thin needle (thoracentesis) may reveal the cancer cells and establish diagnosis. Bone Scan- to check if the cancer has spread to the bones. Lung Cancer Treatment Options Available at Best Hospital in India The treatments for lung cancer depend on the stage of the cancer, personal characteristics, health status, type of the cancer and age. A number of therapies are provided to a patient as there is no single treatment available for lung cancer. Radiation, surgery and chemotherapy are considered as the major lung cancer treatment. Surgery One of the oldest methods for treating lung cancer is surgery. The surgical removal of the tumor and surrounding lymph nodes is done if there is I or II stage cancer that has not metastasized. Palliative or curative are the two types of lung cancer surgeries. Palliative surgery may not remove cancer but can remove an open airway or obstruction that was making the patient uncomfortable. Curative surgery removes all types of cancerous tissue in those patients who are in early stage lung cancer. Chemoembolization Strong chemicals are used in chemotherapy that interferes with cell division process and damages DNA or proteins. The aim of these treatments is to rapidly divide the cells. The normal cells can be recovered from any chemical-induced damage whereas cancer cells cannot be recovered. The medicines in chemotherapy travel in a systematic way by passing from the complete body and destroying the original tumor cells that have spread in the whole body. Usually many therapies are combined that also includes many types of chemotherapy. Radiation Therapy Radiation therapy may be employed as a treatment for both NSCLC and SCLC. Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays or other types of radiation to kill dividing cancer cells. Radiation therapy may be given as curative therapy, palliative therapy (using lower doses of radiation than with curative therapy), or as adjuvant therapy in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy generally only shrinks a tumor or limits its growth when given as a sole therapy, yet in 10%-15% of people it leads to long-term remission and palliation of the cancer. Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy can further prolong survival when chemotherapy is administered. External radiation therapy can generally be carried out on an outpatient basis, while internal radiation therapy requires a brief hospitalization. Targeted Therapy Targeted therapy drugs more specifically target cancer cells, resulting in less damage to normal cells than general chemotherapeutic agents. Erlotinib and gefitinib target a protein called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) that is important in promoting the division of cells. This protein is found at abnormally high levels on the surface of some types of cancer cells, including many cases of non-small cell lung cancer.

These tears can occur when you lift something heavy or play sports. As you get older, your meniscus gets worn. This can make it tear more easily. A meniscus tear is a common knee injury. The meniscus is a rubbery, C-shaped disc that cushions your knee. Each knee has two menisci (plural of meniscus)-one at the outer edge of the knee and one at the inner edge. The menisci keep your knee steady by balancing your weight across the knee. A torn meniscus can prevent your knee from working right. Ankle replacement replaces the damaged parts of the three bones that make up the ankle joint. Artificial joint parts (prosthetics) are used to replace your own bones. They come in different sizes to fit different-size people. Symptoms of Meniscus Tear The Symptoms of a torn meniscus will vary depending on the severity of the tear. Someone who gets a minor tear may only have slight pain and swelling that goes away after 2 or 3 weeks. Moderate to severe tears also might cause these symptoms: A "pop" in the knee when the tear occurs. Pain in the center or side of the knee, especially when twisting the knee or squatting. Limited Range of Motion. The feeling as if the knee is locking or popping when bending; it might not straighten. Meniscus Repair Surgery at World's Best Hospitals in India If your meniscus is severely damaged or has been removed, it is likely that the articular cartilage protecting your knee will begin to wear. As this cartilage wears away, it becomes frayed and rough. Moving the bones along this exposed surface is painful. This condition is osteoarthritis. The goal of meniscal transplant surgery is to replace the meniscus cushion before the articular cartilage is damaged. The donor cartilage supports and stabilizes the knee joint. This relieves knee pain. The hope is that the transplant will also delay the development of arthritis, but long-term results are not yet available. Suffering the pain, joint inflammation and immobility caused by a torn or injured meniscus may benefit from meniscus repair procedures. While most tears are the result of sports injuries, the aging process may also cause degeneration and wear and tear on the cartilage. In cases of the elderly, a surgeon will determine which type of treatment will provide greater range of motion, mobility and pain relief.

Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery
Explore whether a smaller-incision approach is suitable for your heart condition. When planning heart surgery, many patients want to know whether treatment is possible through smaller incisions. Minimally invasive techniques can offer this option for certain procedures, but suitability depends on the heart problem and the patient’s overall health. If you are considering minimally invasive heart surgery in India, contact Medworld India to discuss your enquiry and the next steps for seeking a specialist opinion. What Is Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery? Minimally invasive heart surgery allows surgeons to perform selected heart operations through smaller chest incisions. In many procedures, the surgeon reaches the heart between the ribs without dividing the breastbone. Specialised instruments and a camera may help the surgeon view and operate on the heart. Some procedures use robotic assistance, while others are performed directly through a small incision. The term describes how the surgeon accesses the heart. It remains a major operation and requires careful assessment and recovery. Types of Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery Heart Valve Repair or Replacement Certain valve operations can be performed through smaller incisions. Depending on the valve problem, the surgeon may repair the existing valve or replace it. The choice of approach depends on the affected valve, its condition and the patient’s anatomy. Minimally Invasive Coronary Bypass Surgery Selected patients with coronary artery disease may be suitable for bypass surgery through a smaller chest incision. The surgeon creates a new route for blood to flow around a blocked artery. Some of these operations can be performed while the heart continues beating. Repair of Selected Structural Heart Problems Some structural conditions, including certain atrial septal defects—openings between the heart’s upper chambers—may be treated using minimally invasive surgery. The location and complexity of the defect help determine the treatment approach. Robot-Assisted Heart Surgery In selected operations, the surgeon controls robotic instruments from a console. The system assists the surgeon’s movements through small incisions; it does not perform the operation independently. Availability and suitability vary by procedure and centre. Who May Be Suitable? A smaller-incision approach is not appropriate for every patient. Your surgical team will assess your diagnosis, heart anatomy, medical history and test results before making a recommendation. Other health conditions, including lung or blood vessel disease, can affect suitability. Previous operations and the complexity of the treatment also need consideration. The aim is to choose an approach that allows the required operation to be completed safely and effectively. Possible Benefits For suitable patients, minimally invasive heart surgery may offer: Smaller incisions and less noticeable scarring. Less postoperative discomfort. A shorter hospital stay. An earlier return to usual activities. These benefits vary between patients and procedures. A smaller incision does not guarantee a faster recovery or a better result for every person. Preparing for Your Specialist Consultation Bring the medical records that explain your condition and any treatment you have already received. These may include: Recent consultation notes and your diagnosis. Echocardiogram and ECG reports. Angiography reports and images, if available. Records of previous heart operations. A list of medicines, allergies and other health conditions. Ask your surgeon which procedure you need, whether a minimally invasive approach is suitable and why they recommend it. It is also useful to discuss the possibility of changing to a larger incision during surgery if necessary. Planning Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery in India When comparing hospitals, ask about the team’s experience with your specific operation. Experience in minimally invasive valve surgery, for example, does not automatically mean the same team offers every type of minimally invasive bypass procedure. Confirm the proposed technique, postoperative care arrangements and follow-up plan. International patients should also discuss the expected stay, accommodation after discharge and support needed from a family member or attendant. What Does Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery Cost? The cost depends on the operation, hospital, equipment used and the care required before and after surgery. Robot-assisted procedures may have additional equipment-related charges. Request an individual written estimate and check whether it includes: Surgeon and anaesthesia fees. Operating theatre and specialised equipment charges. Valve implants or other surgical materials, if required. ICU, hospital room and nursing care. Tests, medicines and follow-up consultations. Ask how additional treatment or an extended stay would be charged. Travel and accommodation should be budgeted separately unless the quotation specifically includes them. Recovery After Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery Recovery depends on the procedure and your health before surgery. Some patients recover sooner than they would after a conventional approach, but healing still takes time. After surgery, the hospital team will monitor your condition and help you gradually resume activity. Before discharge, ask for clear instructions about wound care, medicines, exercise and symptoms that require medical attention. Your treating team will advise when you can return to work, drive and travel. Cardiac rehabilitation may be recommended to support your recovery. Understanding the Risks Minimally invasive heart surgery carries risks, including bleeding, infection, irregular heart rhythms, stroke, kidney problems and death. In some cases, the surgeon may need to change to a conventional open approach during the operation. Your surgeon should explain your individual risks, the expected benefits and the alternatives before you decide.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Advanced Spine Treatment with Smaller Incisions Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is an advanced surgical approach used to treat certain spine conditions through smaller incisions and specialized surgical techniques. Compared with traditional open spine surgery, minimally invasive procedures are designed to reduce disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues while allowing the surgeon to access the affected area of the spine. Depending on the patient's condition and the procedure performed, minimally invasive spine surgery may support a shorter recovery period and reduced tissue damage. However, the most suitable treatment approach depends on the individual's diagnosis and clinical needs. What Is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery? Minimally invasive spine surgery uses specialized instruments, imaging technology, and surgical techniques to perform spinal procedures through small incisions. Instead of making a large incision and extensively moving surrounding muscles, the surgeon uses carefully planned access techniques to reach the affected area of the spine. MISS may be used for selected conditions affecting the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine. Conditions That May Be Treated with MISS Minimally invasive spine surgery may be considered for selected patients with: Herniated or slipped discs Spinal stenosis Degenerative disc disease Spinal instability Spondylolisthesis Certain spinal deformities Nerve compression Sciatica caused by specific spinal conditions Selected spinal fractures A detailed evaluation by a qualified spine specialist is necessary to determine whether a minimally invasive approach is appropriate. Types of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Minimally Invasive Discectomy This procedure removes the portion of a damaged or herniated disc that is pressing on a spinal nerve using specialized minimally invasive techniques. Minimally Invasive Microdiscectomy Microdiscectomy uses specialized instruments and magnification to remove disc material causing pressure on a nerve while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues. It is commonly used for selected lumbar disc conditions. Minimally Invasive Laminectomy A minimally invasive laminectomy removes part of the lamina to create additional space for compressed spinal nerves. This procedure may be considered for selected patients with spinal stenosis. Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion Minimally invasive spinal fusion uses smaller incisions and specialized techniques to stabilize affected sections of the spine. Depending on the patient's condition, procedures such as minimally invasive TLIF may be considered. Benefits of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Depending on the procedure and the patient's condition, potential benefits may include: Smaller surgical incisions Reduced disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues Less post-operative discomfort in selected patients Reduced blood loss in some procedures Shorter hospital stay in selected cases Earlier mobility and recovery in appropriate patients Smaller surgical scars Individual results can vary depending on the patient's condition and the specific procedure performed. Who May Be a Candidate for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery? Minimally invasive spine surgery may be considered for patients who have been diagnosed with a spinal condition requiring surgical treatment. A specialist may evaluate: Symptoms and severity MRI, CT scan, or X-ray results Location of the spinal condition Previous treatments Overall health Whether minimally invasive techniques are suitable Not every spinal condition can be treated using a minimally invasive approach. The surgeon will recommend the most appropriate procedure based on the patient's individual needs. How Is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Performed? The exact procedure depends on the type of spinal condition being treated. However, the general process may include: 1. Detailed Medical Evaluation The spine specialist reviews medical history, symptoms, physical examination findings, and diagnostic imaging. 2. Surgical Planning The affected area of the spine is identified, and the most appropriate surgical technique is selected. 3. Small Incision Access The surgeon uses small incisions and specialized instruments to reach the affected area. 4. Treatment of the Spinal Condition Depending on the procedure, the surgeon may remove damaged disc material, relieve nerve compression, remove bone causing pressure, or stabilize the spine. 5. Recovery and Rehabilitation After surgery, patients receive monitoring, pain management, mobility guidance, and rehabilitation recommendations. Recovery After Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Recovery time varies depending on the procedure performed, the complexity of the spinal condition, and the patient's overall health. The recovery plan may include: Post-operative monitoring Pain management Early mobility guidance Physiotherapy when recommended Activity restrictions and guidance Follow-up consultations Patients should follow their surgeon's instructions for a safe and effective recovery. Risks and Important Considerations Like all surgical procedures, minimally invasive spine surgery involves potential risks and may not be suitable for every patient. The potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and expected outcomes should be discussed with a qualified spine specialist before making a treatment decision.

Indian hospitals have well trained English speaking Nurses, Physiotherapists and other supportive staff to provide compassionate care. Oral Cancer Treatment at World's Best Cancer Hospitals in India Oral cancer is part of a group of cancers called head and neck cancers. Oral cancer can develop in any part of the oral cavity or oropharynx. Most oral cancers begin in the tongue and in the floor of the mouth. Almost all oral cancers begin in the flat cells (squamous cells) that cover the surfaces of the mouth, tongue, and lips. These cancers are called squamous cell carcinomas. When oral cancer spreads (metastasizes), it usually travels through the lymphatic system. Cancer cells that enter the lymphatic system are carried along by lymph, a clear, watery fluid. The cancer cells often appear first in nearby lymph nodes in the neck. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the neck, the lungs, and other parts of the body. When this happens, the new tumor has the same kind of abnormal cells as the primary tumor. For example, if oral cancer spreads to the lungs, the cancer cells in the lungs are actually oral cancer cells. The disease is metastatic oral cancer, not lung cancer. It is treated as oral cancer, not lung cancer.Oral cancer happens when there is something wrong or unusual in the normal cell lifecycle. This abnormal working of the cell lifecycle results in uncontrollable growth and reproduction of these cells. Symptoms of Oral Cancer Dramatic weight loss Bumps or lumps, thickenings/swellings, rough spots or eroded areas or crusts on the gums, lips and/or other areas within the mouth Ear pain Persistent sores on the mouth, face or neck that causes bleedings and that do not heal within two weeks A change in the way the dentures or teeth fit together Pain, unexplained numbness, loss of feeling in any area of the neck, face or mouth Change in voice, hoarseness or chronic sore throat Unexplained bleeding in the mouth Problem in speaking, moving the tongue or jaw, swallowing or chewing Advanced Oral Cancer Treatment Options at World's Best Cancer Hospitals in India Surgery Surgery is the most frequent treatment for oral cancer. The type of surgery depends on the type and stage of the tumor. Surgical techniques to treat oral cancer Treatment of Oral Cancer Removal of the tumor or a larger area to remove the tumor and surrounding healthy tissue Removal of part or all of the jaw Maxillectomy (removal of bone in the roof of the mouth) Removal of lymph nodes and other tissue in the neck Plastic surgery, including skin grafts, tissue flaps or dental implants to restore tissues removed from the mouth or neck Tracheotomy, or placing a hole in the windpipe, to assist in breathing for patients with large tumors or after surgical removal of the tumor Dental surgery to remove teeth or assist with reconstruction Non Surgery Biological Therapy: The activity of the cancer cells is changed with the help of biological therapy. A type of biological therapy is known as Cetuximab that is also referred to as a monoclonal antibody. The surface of the cancer cells that triggers the development of cancer cells is blocked with the help of Cetuximab. Chemotherapy: This therapy makes use of drugs for destroying the cancer cells. The injection of these drugs is done into a vein. Chemotherapy can also be combined with radiation therapy. Chemotherapy destroys the cancer cell that may have traveled somewhere else in the body while radiotherapy destroys the cancer area. Radiotherapy: This therapy makes use of radiation for destroying cancer cells. This therapy shrinks the tumor by targeting a beam of radiation onto the cancer cells. Rarely, a radioactivity source can be implanted in the mouth that is known as Brachytherapy. The nearby tissues are not damaged by this therapy.

Orthopaedic Surgery
Orthopaedic surgery is about figuring out and fixing problems with the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. You should think about surgery when other things like medicine, physiotherapy or changing your lifestyle do not help with the pain or get you moving again. New orthopaedic surgery methods help people with issues get moving feel less pain and have a better life. Orthopaedic surgery can really make a difference for people who have problems, with their bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. Conditions Treated with Orthopaedic Surgery Orthopaedic surgery may be required for: Severe arthritis (knee, hip, shoulder) Fractures and bone injuries Sports injuries (ligament or tendon tears) Spine disorders and back pain Joint deformities or instability Osteoporosis-related fractures Bone infections or tumors Types of Orthopaedic Surgeries Joint Replacement Surgery Joint replacement is something that a lot of people have to get. This is because they have joints that need to be fixed. So doctors put in joints to help people move around and feel less pain. Some of the joints that people get replaced are: Knee replacement Hip replacement Shoulder replacement Joint replacement is really good at helping people. It can make them feel better for a very long time. Joint replacement is a way to get rid of pain and it can really help people, with bad joints like knee replacement or hip replacement or shoulder replacement. Arthroscopic Surgery Arthroscopy is a surgery that uses a small camera and tiny tools. It is often used to fix: Torn ligaments like ACL and PCL Meniscus tears Injuries to the shoulder Damage to the cartilage The benefits of arthroscopy include cuts, less pain and getting back, to normal quickly. Fracture Repair Surgery When bones are really badly broken the doctor will need to do surgery to fix the bones and make them stable again using things, like plates, screws, rods or pins. This helps the bones heal properly and makes sure the bones work like they are supposed to. Spine Surgery Orthopaedic spine surgery helps with problems like slipped disc, spinal stenosis and spine deformities. Some of the procedures used are decompression surgery, fusion and simple keyhole spine surgeries to take the pressure, off nerves and make the spine more stable. Sports Injury Surgery Orthopaedic surgeons help people who get hurt when they are active. They fix problems like torn ligaments and damaged tendons. Sometimes peoples joints are not stable. That is a problem too. When orthopaedic surgeons do surgery to fix these problems it helps athletes and people who are active get back, to moving like they used to.

The newer techniques and developments in Electrophysiology have enhanced the quality of life in these patients to a great extent. Heart hospitals in India have now the best electrophysiology teams to offer the best treatment for patients with heart rhythm disorders. What is a Pacemaker? A pacemaker is an electrical device that is used to regulate and normalise the rhythm at which the heart works. The rate at which the heart works and the rhythm at which it works are triggered by electrical impulses generated from within the heart. Abnormalities in these electrical impulses result in arrhythmia, where the heart rhythms are too slow, too fast or irregular. A pacemaker has two components to it: the electric leads which are connected to the heart and a pulse generator/computer which detects abnormality in the heart's rhythm and delivers an electrical impulse to the heart to normalise the rhythm. Different types of Pacemakers Permanent (internal) Heart Pacemaker This kind of Heart Pacemaker is implanted in a small pocket under your skin and is meant to be left in there for the rest of your life. Temporary (external) Heart Pacemaker This is used for initial stabilization of the patient during a cardiac crisis. Demand Heart Pacemaker This kind of Heart PacThis kind of Heart Pacemaker has an inbuilt sensing device which senses when the heart beat is too slow and turns the signal on. Once the heart beat is above a certain level, it automatically turns the signal off. Single Chamber Heart Pacemaker This kind of device has one lead to carry signals to and from one chamber of your heart, either the right atrium or, more commonly, the right ventricle. Dual Chamber Heart Pacemaker This kind of Heart Pacemaker has 2 leads and can monitor and deliver impulses to either or both of the heart chambers. Adaptive Rate Heart Pacemaker or Rate-responsive Heart Pacemaker - This kind of Heart Pacemaker automatically increases the pacing rate to meet the body's changing need. Medical conditions when a Pacemaker is Needed BradycardiaAtrial fibrillation Heart Block Heart muscles problems Aging or heart disease damages The pacemaker is implanted, normally in the upper chest, as part of a surgical procedure performed under local anaesthesia. The electrophysiologist / cardiologist assisted by fluoroscopy imaging, implants the leads at the designated locations within the heart, by threading them through veins leading to the heart. The other end of the leads is connected to the pulse generator unit which is implanted in the chest region. This procedure will take upwards of one hour and can sometimes take several hours. Once the leads are attached to the heart as well as the pacemaker, the cardiologist would test the device to make sure that electrical impulses are flowing from the pacemaker to the heart and that the heart rate and rhythm are being read accurately by the pacemaker.

Minimally Invasive Surgeries for Kidney stone, laser prostate surgery-no pain , no cuts. HOLEP, TURP, RIRS etc. Minimally Invasive Surgeries for (PCNL) Kidney stone Percutaneous nephrolithotomy Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a procedure to remove medium-sized or large stones from the kidney by means of a nephroscope passed into the kidney through a small puncture created in the patient's back. A nephroscope uses an ultrasonic or laser probe to break up large kidney stones and suction it out. This procedure is usually done under general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia. To undergo PCNL, it is ideal for the patient to have two functioning kidneys and large sized (2 cm) stone in one of the kidneys with extrarenal pelvis with mild to moderate hydronephrosis. The advantage of the PCNL procedure as against an open surgery is that PCNL reduces the length of hospital stay, and leaves only a small stab wound scar. Also during the post-operative period, a negligible amount of pain is felt allowing the patient to recover faster. The surgical application of robotic systems is one of the most exciting and significant technological developments of this century; its future implications are incalculable.Huge strides have been made in the field of closed operations in the past 10 years and the use of robotic systems has emerged as the principle solution to technical limitations How is the Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL ) Surgery performed? While you are under the general anaesthetic the surgeon will examine your bladder with a long, thin, semi-rigid or flexible telescope and pass a small tube up to your kidney, which has the stone. This is used to pass a mixture of a coloured dye and x-ray dye to the kidney making it easier to see during the operation. You will then be placed face down on the operating table and the consultant will make one or more small incisions into your back. This is done using special metal or balloon dilators (see diagram). This enables the consultant to pass a telescope into your kidney. The stone or stones in the kidney are then removed either intact or in pieces after breaking them with special instruments. X-rays will be taken during and at the end of the procedure to ensure that all accessible bits of the stone have been removed from your kidney. A telescope is passed down into the kidney so that the surgeon can see the stone. The stone is broken up and then the pieces are removed using a special instrument. Why is Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) Necessary? You have been diagnosed as having a kidney stone (or stones) causing some, or all, of these symptoms: pain, infections, bleeding or obstruction of your kidney, which if left untreated, may lead to further symptoms or complications, such as severe infection or loss of kidney function. This operation (PCNL) is performed to remove large kidney stones using a keyhole approach. This is a major operation despite the term ‘keyhole surgery’. The procedure requires a general anaesthetic and may last 1 to 3 hours with a hospital stay from 4 to 7 days. The success rate of kidney stone clearance ranges from 75% to 100% depending on various factors. What are the Advantages Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)Surgery Mini – invasive operation, less pain, short hospital stay (3 or 4 days), quick recovery and early return to work (7 to 10 days) Avoid a surgical scar, meaning that avoids the complications of a large incision to remove the kidney stone Limit residual stone. This is the special advantage of PCNL over other intervention due to its possibility to look inside the ureter and renal calyx to check which may not always be done by open operation and ESWL procedure. Minimize the occurrence of postoperative infections (compared with open surgery). Less harm to the kidney function (the influence of PCNL on kidney function is smaller than 1% while open surgery may cause the loss of 30% kidney function due to the incision made on renal parenchyma).

Sometimes heart surgery in children is required for repairing defects in the heart which a child might have born with (known as congenital heart defects) and heart diseases which he gets after birth, which require surgery. Pediatric Cardiac Surgery deals with operative procedures in the newborn and unborn children and youngsters suffering from cardiac dysfunctions, structural, functional and rhythm-related issues of the heart also. Pediatric Cardiac Surgery often deals with heart problems in children, the cause of congenital heart diseases which are common heart ailments among new born children and involves deficiencies like structural defects, congenital arrythmias and cardiomyopathies, which result in different kinds of abnormalities related to the heart. Congenital heart disease is a cause of improper growth of the heart or blood vessels before birth. Major Types of Cardiac Defects in Children ASD- Atrial Septal Defect ASD An atrial septal defect (ASD) — sometimes referred to as a hole in the heart — is a type of congenital heart defect in which there is an abnormal opening in the dividing wall between the upper filling chambers of the heart (the atria). In most cases ASDs are diagnosed and treated successfully with few or no complications. When an atrial septal defect is present, blood flows through the hole primarily from the left atrium to the right atrium. This shunting increases the blood volume in the right atrium which means more blood flows through the lungs than would normally. If left untreated, atrial septal defect may cause problems in adulthood. These problems may include pulmonary hypertension (which is high blood pressure in the lungs), congestive heart failure(weakening of the heart muscle), atrial arrhythmias (which are abnormal rhythms or beating of the heart) and an increased risk of stroke. Ventricular Septal Defect VSD have a hole in the wall of their heart between their right ventricle and left ventricle (the two lower chambers, where the blood leaves the heart). Normally, blood cannot pass between the ventricles. But when there is a hole between the sides of the heart, some oxygen-rich blood leaks from the left ventricle into the right ventricle and goes back to the lungs. The hole may be small and cause no symptoms, or it may be large and cause serious problems with blood flow. If the hole is large, too much blood will be pumped to the lungs, leading to congestive heart failure. Also, the heart will have to work harder to pump blood to the body. As a result of the extra work, the heart can get bigger. Fallot's Tetralogy Fallot was a doctor who spotted this particular type of heart defect. Tetralogy means fourfold – there are four defects found together. These four problems are: 1. Pulmonary stenosis - Pulmonary means ‘of the lungs’. Stenosis means narrowing. Pulmonary stenosis is a narrowing at or below the pulmonary valve. 2. Ventricular septal defect -Ventricular means ‘of the ventricles’ – the wall between the right and left sides of the heart . 3. Over-riding aorta -The entrance to the aorta, which should only take red (oxygenated) blood around the body, lies over the VSD, allowing the right ventricle to pump some blue blood directly into it. 4. Right ventricular hypertrophy -The right ventricle becomes thickened as it forces blood into the narrowed pulmonary artery. Double Valve Repair and Replacement Valves are openings between two chambers and also between a chamber and artery which allows unidirectional flow of blood. The patency of these valves is very important for normal flow of blood. The function of mitral valve (between left atrium and left ventricle) and the aortic valve (between left ventricle and aorta) is very important. If these valves get narrowed, the amount of blood passing from left atrium to left ventricle (mitral valve) or from left ventricle to aorta (aortic valve) is drastically reduced. In this case the heart will pump blood harder to push it through the narrowed valves. But the blood will tend to go upwards back into the pulmonary vein and finally to the lungs. Why is the Procedure required? If the following warning signs are found in children, it indicates that a surgery is required Blue or gray skin, nail beds and lips. These symptoms indicate that there is not enough oxygen in the blood (hypoxia). If the child has difficulty in breathing because the lungs are "wet," congested, or filled with fluid (heart failure). If there exists problems in heart rhythm (arrhythmias) or heart rate. AIf there is lack of growth and development of a child. And the child is not able to sleep and eat properly. How is the surgery performed Following are the different techniques used for fixing congenital defects of the heart in children Open heart surgery : It is done under general anesthesia. Firstly an incision is made through the breastbone. Then some tubes are used to re-route the blood through a special pump called a heart-lung bypass machine. This machine keeps the blood warm and adds oxygen to the blood and it keeps on moving through the rest of the body while the surgeon is repairing the heart. Once the procedure is done, the machine is removed, and the heart is started and the breastbone and the skin incisions are closed. Thoracotomy : This Procedure is used for some type of heart defect repairs, wherein the incision is made on the side of the chest, between the ribs. It is also called a closed-heart surgery. This surgery is done with the help of special instruments and a camera. In one kind of procedure a few small tubes are inserted into an artery in the leg and pass them up to the heart. Only some heart defects can be repaired in this fashion.
