KEY HOLE SURGERY
- ARTHROSCOPY
- LAPAROSCOPY
- Endoscopic
- PROSTRATE SURGERY
Why the Procedure is Performed
Arthroscopy may be recommended for these knee problems:
-
Some fractures of the bones of the knee
-
Removal of Baker’s cyst — a swelling behind the knee that is filled with fluid. Sometimes this occurs when there is inflammation (soreness and pain) from other causes, like arthritis.
-
Small pieces of broken cartilage in the knee joint
-
Misalignment of the kneecap (patella). Misalignment puts the kneecap out of position.
-
Inflamed or damaged lining of the joint. This lining is called the synovium.
-
A torn or damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
-
A torn menisc us. Meniscus is cartilage that cushions the space between the bones in the knee. Surgery is done to repair or remove it.
We also perform arthroscopy of the ankle and shoulder for diagnostic as well as therapeutic purpose.
Laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure that allows a surgeon to access the inside of the abdomen (tummy) and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin.
This procedure is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery.
A laparoscope is a small tube that has a light source and a camera, which relays images of the inside of the abdomen or pelvis to a television monitor.
The advantages of this technique over traditional open surgery include:
-
a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time
-
less pain and bleeding after the operation
-
reduced scarring
When laparoscopy is used
Laparoscopy used to carry out diagnostic and surgical procedures, such as removing a damaged or diseased organ, or removing a tissue sample for further testing (BIOPSY)
Laparoscopy is most commonly used in:
-
gynaecology – the study and treatment of conditions affecting the female reproductive system
-
gastroenterology – the study and treatment of conditions affecting the digestive system
urology – the study and treatment of conditions affecting the urinary system
What is Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?
One way functional endoscopic sinus surgery differs from conventional sinus surgery is that an endoscope is used in the nose to view the nasal cavity and sinuses. This generally eliminates the need for an external incision. The endoscope allows for better visualization of diseased or problem areas
Transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP) is a surgery to remove the inside part of the prostate gland. It is done in order to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostrate
The surgeon will insert a scope through the tube that carries urine from your bladder out of the penis. This tube is called the urethra. A special cutting tool is placed through the scope. It is used to remove the inside part of your prostate gland using electricity.
Why the Procedure is Performed
Surgery is recommended for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The prostate gland often grows larger as men get older. The larger prostate play causes problems with urinating. Removing part of the prostate gland can often make these symptoms better.
