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.

 




  • Disorders of the ear, nose or throat

  • Loss of hearing, dizziness and ringing in the ears

  • Sinus disorders

  • Difficult swallowing or breathing

  • Voice and Speech disorders

Tonsillectomy and/or Adenoidectomy
Tonsillectomies are performed on patients who have had recurrent attacks of tonsillitis, which begin as a severe sore throat associated with fever, headaches, chills and muscle pain




Treating varicose veins

Varicose veins don’t always need treatment. If your varicose veins are not causing you discomfort, you may not need to have treatment.

Treatment of varicose veins is usually necessary:

  • to ease symptoms – if your varicose veins are causing you pain or discomfort

  • to treat complications – such as leg ulcers, swelling or skin discolouration

  • for cosmetic reasons

If treatment is necessary, your doctor may first advise thefollowings

  • using compression stockings

  • taking regular exercise

  • avoiding standing up for long periods

  • elevating the affected area when resting

Compression stockings

Compression stockings are specially designed to steadily squeeze your legs to improve circulation. They are often tightest at the ankle and get gradually looser as they go further up your leg. This encourages blood to flow upwards towards your heart.

Compression stockings may help relieve the pain, discomfort and swelling in your legs caused by your varicose veins.

You may need to wear compression stockings for the rest of your life if you have deep venous incompetence. Deep venous incompetence is where you have problems with the valves, or blockages, in the deep veins in your legs.

In these circumstances, you will need to wear compression stockings even if you have had surgery to treat some varicose veins.

You usually need to put your compression stockings on as soon as you get up in the morning and take them off when you go to bed.

They can be uncomfortable, particularly during hot weather, but it’s important to wear your stockings correctly to get the most benefit from them.

Compression stockings usually have to be replaced every three to six months. If your stockings become damaged, speak to your GP because they may no longer be effective.

Further treatment

If your varicose veins need further treatment, or if they are causing complications, the type of treatment will depend on your general health and the size, position and severity of your veins.

Endothermal ablation

One of the first treatments offered will usually be endothermal ablation. This involves using energy either from high-frequency radio waves (radiofrequency ablation) or lasers (endovenous laser treatment) to seal the affected veins.

Radiofrequency ablation

Radiofrequency ablation involves heating the wall of your varicose vein using radiofrequency energy. The vein is accessed through a small cut made just above or below the knee.

A narrow tube called a catheter is guided into the vein using an ultrasound scan. A probe is inserted into the catheter that sends out radiofrequency energy.

This heats the vein until its walls collapse, closing it and sealing it shut. Once the vein has been sealed shut, your blood will naturally be redirected to one of your healthy veins.

Radiofrequency ablation is carried out under local anaesthetic (you are awake). The procedure may cause some short-term side effects, such as pins and needles (paraesthesia).

You may need to wear compression stockings for up to a week after having radiofrequency ablation.

Endovenous laser treatment

As with radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser treatment involves having a catheter inserted into your vein and using an ultrasound scan to guide it into the correct position. A tiny laser is passed through the catheter and positioned at the top of your varicose vein.

The laser delivers short bursts of energy that heat up the vein and seal it closed. The laser is slowly pulled along the vein using the ultrasound scan to guide it, allowing the entire length of the vein to be closed.

Endovenous laser treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic. After the procedure you may feel some tightness in your legs, and the affected areas may be bruised and painful. Nerve injury is also possible, but it’s usually only temporary.

  • What is Prostrate Surgery
  • Symptoms

Transurethral resection of the prostate is a surgery to remove the inside part of the prostate gland. It is done in order to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostrate

Description

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

Your doctor may recommend this surgery if you have 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.

Prostate removal may be recommended if you have:

  • Difficulty emptying your bladder

  • Frequent urinary tract infections.

  • Bleeding from the prostate

  • Bladder stones with prostate enlargement

  • Extremely slow urination

  • Damage to the kidneys

  • Getting up often at night to urinate

  • Bladder control issues due to a large prostate

Your prostate may need to be removed if these steps do not help. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is one of the most common types of prostate surgery.

  • Difficulty emptying your bladder

  • Frequent urinary tract infections.

  • Bleeding from the prostate

  • Bladder stones with prostate enlargement

  • Extremely slow urination

  • Damage to the kidneys

  • Getting up often at night to urinate

  • Bladder control issues due to a large prostate
