Urinary Stones
World Most Advanced Urology Treatment in India Urology is a medical and surgical specialty that deals with urinary tracts of males and females, and on the reproductive system of males. Indian hospitals have some of the finest urologists who have valuable expertise to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with urological disorders. The organs covered by urology include the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs (testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles and prostate). Combining the latest World's Best technologies with the healing touch of experienced hands, Indian Hospitals bring the best -in-class patient care within your reach. Painless procedures, assured relief and a success rate that compares favourably with the best such facilites in the World. Most advacned facilities for advanced Laproscopic Urological Procedures. Minimally Invasive Surgeries for Kidney stone, laser prostate surgery-no pain , no cuts. HOLEP, TURP, RIRS etc. Non-Surgical Treatment for Urinary Stones at World's Best Hospitals in India Kidney stones are also known as calculi (plural), or calculus (singular). When it is in the kidney, it is a renal calculus. The tube draining the kidney to the bladder is the ureter, and a stone in the ureter is a ureteral calculus. It is estimated that 20% of us will have a kidney stone in our lifetime. Of those who get a stone, 50% will recur. Passing a stone is usually very painful. However, many patients can pass a stone with only a "muscle ache" sensation in the back, and they may not be aware the pain was from a stone until it "pops out." How are kidney stones diagnosed? When a urinary stone is suspected, an immediate evaluation is required. Blood is obtained to check on overall kidney function as well as to exclude signs of infection throughout the body. Urine is sent for a urinalysis and culture, also to examine for infection. A simple X-ray of the abdomen is sometimes enough to pinpoint a calcification in the area of the kidneys or ureters, thus identifying a likely obstructing stone. However it is sometimes difficult to determine if the calcification is within the urinary tract and also some stones are not radiopaque. Historically, an intravenous pyelogram (IVP) was done, but today computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for stone diagnosis as it is very sensitive and can detect almost all types of urinary stones. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the most frequently used procedure for the treatment of kidney stones. In ESWL, shock waves that are created outside the body travel through the skin and body tissues until they hit the denser stones. The stones break down into small particles and are easily passed through the urinary tract in the urine. Several types of ESWL devices exist. Most devices use either x-rays or ultrasound to help the surgeon pinpoint the stone during treatment. For most types of ESWL procedures, anesthesia is needed. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) PNL is the treatment of choice for large stones located within the kidney that cannot be effectively treated with either SWL or URS. General anesthesia is usually required to perform a PNL. The main advantage of this approach compared to traditional open surgery is that only a small incision (about one centimeter) is required in the flank. The urologist then places a guide wire through the incision. The wire is inserted into the kidney under radiographic guidance and directed down the ureter. A passage is then created around the wire using dilators to provide access into the kidney. An instrument called a nephroscope is then passed into the kidney to visualize the stone. Fragmentation can then be done using an ultrasonic probe or a laser. Because the tract allows passage of larger instruments, your urologist can suction out or grasp the stone fragments as they are produced. This results in a higher clearance of stone fragments than with SWL or URS. Ureteroscopic Lithotrispy with Holmium Laser Holmium Laser lithotripsy is the breaking of urinary stone using the Holmium laser. The wavelength is ideal for treating stones. The Holmium laser energy may be absorbed by the stone creating cracks within the stone. This laser energy is sufficient to break even the hardest stone. The Holmium laser energy is delivered via thin fibers with various diameters to suit telescopes of different sizes. These telescopes may be rigid, metal telescopes or flexible fibreoptic type. This thin telescope called a ureteroscope is passed gently and skillfully through the natural urinary passage from the penis up the bladder into the ureter where the stone is. This procedure is called ureteroscopy. The Holmium laser fiber can be placed in contact with the stone or adjacent to it. Short Holmium laser pulses create a shockwave that causes fragmentation of the stone. Smaller stones can be fragmented directly, whereas with larger ones, holes are punched in the center, after which the edges are chiseled away with the Holmium laser. Finally, the residual fragments can be flushed out.

Minimally Invasive Surgeries for Kidney stone, laser prostate surgery-no pain , no cuts. HOLEP, TURP, RIRS etc. Most Advanced Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer in India Robotic surgery involves use of the da Vinci robotic surgical unit in performing complex surgical procedures such as prostatectomy (removal of the prostate gland for cancer). Originally developed for space and military uses, this advanced technology allows the operating surgeon to sit behind a console and control the robot that is next to the patient to perform surgery. This technology allows the surgeon to operate with very small and precise instruments under a 3 dimensional (3-D) vision, which is magnified up to 10 times. This is achieved by inserting the camera and the instruments into the patient’s body through small cuts (incisions) ranging from 5 – 12 mm in size. Da Vinci Master Slave Robotic System 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 The use of robotic surgical systems has numerous advantages. Whereas modern laparoscopic systems give only a two-dimensional vision, robotic systems give the surgeon a three-dimensional field of vision and depth, provide arms that, unlike the human hand, never tire and permit an unprecedented continuityin operations. Since robotic systemsexceed even the human hand’s freedom and facility of movement, far greater delicacy and dexterity is achieved. Modern robotic systems fall into three categories; active, semi-active and master-slave.But the most commonly used are master-slave systems distinguished by the surgeon’s absolute control of the robot via a remote control console. The Da Vinci is a sophisticated master-slave robot that incorporates 3-D high definition visualization, scaling of movement, and wristed instrumentation. The operations with the Da Vinci System are performed with no direct mechanical connection between the surgeon and the patient. The surgeon is working a few feet away from the operating table, while seated at a computer console with a three-dimensional view of the operating field. Robotic Prostatectomy, also known as Robotic surgery for prostate cancer or da Vinci Prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgery that is now the preferred approach for removal of the prostate in those diagnosed with organ-confined prostate cancer. The da Vinci Prostatectomy may be the most effective, least invasive prostate surgery performed today. Though any diagnosis of cancer can be traumatic, the good news is that if your doctor recommends prostate surgery, the cancer was probably caught early. And, with da Vinci Prostatectomy, the likelihood of a complete recovery from prostate cancer without long-term side effects is, for most patients, better than it has ever been. The operation is performed using the daVinci Surgical system and 3-D endoscopic and wristed instruments inserted through 5-6 small incisions across the mid-abdomen Advantages of Robotic prostatectomy Minimal Bleeding Faster return to normal daily activities . Reduced hospital stay Significantly less pain and scarring Lower blood transfusion rates Improved preservation of physical appearance. Three (3) D vision enables surgeon to perform Prostate excision with Cancer.

Varicose Veins
Low Cost Varicose Veins Treatment Minimally Invasive Procedures for Varicose Veins in India What are varicose veins ? The word "varicose" comes from the Latin root "varix," which means "twisted." Any vein may become varicose, but the veins most commonly affected are those in your legs and feet. That's because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins in your lower body. The veins of the legs are divided into two systems - the deep veins (which run deep to the leathery layer of fascia surrounding the muscles) and the superficial veins (which run in the layer of fat just beneath the skin). The superficial veins are the ones that you can see (for example, on your foot or around the ankle) and they are the ones that can become varicose. It is essential to keep in mind these two different systems - deep and superficial - in order to understand varicose veins and their treatment. In a number of places in the leg, the superficial and deep veins are linked by perforating veins (or 'perforators'). They are called perforators because they perforate the leathery fascial layer surrounding the muscles of the legs. Normally their valves should allow blood to flow only inwards - from the superficial veins to the deep veins. If the valves stop working properly, then blood is pushed out into the superficial veins when the muscles contract: this is one reason for high pressure in the superficial veins, and can be a cause of varicose veins. Diagnosis of Varicose Veins This is done by general examination and Ultrasound Doppler study which can show the exact site of disease in the form of damaged valves & dilatation of veins. Till now various treatment options available for varicose veins were elevating the legs while lying down or sitting, bending legs occasionally when standing for a long period of time, Compression Stockings, Sclerotherapy for short segment disease. Vein Stripping Surgery is a major surgery where the recurrence rate is too high,cause ugly scar in legs and 2-3 weeks needed for recovery. Non-surgical Treatment Options Available for Varicose Veins in India Compression Stockings For more severe varicose veins, your physician may prescribe compression stockings. Compression stockings are elastic stockings that squeeze your veins and stop excess blood from flowing backward. Compression stockings also can help heal skin sores and prevent them from returning. Sclerotherapy This form of treatment is a non-surgical procedure in which a solution is injected into the problem varicose veins or spider veins in order to cause its disappearance. A chemical irritant can be injected into veins, although large veins are difficult to treat using this method, as the chemical has to physically come in contact with the lining of the target vein for long enough to destroy it. Sclerotherapy works by burning the lining of the vein, which causes the vessel to spasm and block off with clot. The idea is to make the vein shrivel away by scarring. Unfortunately, the clot often clears away, allowing the scarred vessel to open up again. Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) EVLT works by heating the inside of the vein, which causes it to seal shut and disappear. This treatment requires that a very thin laser fiber be inserted into the damaged underlying vein. Tiny electrodes at the tip of the catheter heat the walls of your varicose vein and destroy the vein tissue. As with chemical sclerotherapy, your vein is then no longer able to carry blood, breaks up naturally, and is absorbed by your body. Radiofrequency Occlusion This method treats the vein by heating them, causing the vein to contract and then close. Laser and Pulsed Light Treatments This form of vein therapy involves a light beam that is pulsed onto the veins in order to seal them off, causing them to dissolve. Successful light-based treatment requires adequate heating of the veins. Several treatments are usually needed for optimal results. Ambulatory Phlebectomy This procedure involves making tiny punctures or incisions through which the varicose veins are removed. The incisions are so small no stitches are required. Advantages of Non Surgical EVLT/ RFA Varicose Veins Treatment Vascular surgery treats diseases of the arteries and veins. Most vascular surgeries are minimally invasive and address a number of vascular conditions and diseases. Here are some different types of vascular surgery. It is less risky as compared to surgery. No Surgical scar on skin. No blood loss or risk of blood transfusion. The recovery is very fast as compared to traditional surgery. The recurrence rate is very low as compared to conventional surgery. Normal activities like long distance walking, running, standing can be resumed within 1-2 days.

Vascular Surgery in India
Most Advanced Vascular Surgery in India Most Advanced Vascular Surgery in India Vascular surgery Vascular Surgery is a particular kind of surgery that deals with surgical interventions of arteries and veins. Also cures for disease of the vascular system. It deals with treatment of the areas of dilatation of the blood vessel that can rupture if not treated. Blockages of blood vessels treated by vascular surgeons if not treated causes lack of blood flow to the body, stroke and other serious complications. The treatment requires removal of the area of blockage, carotid endarterectomy or carotid stenting in which a tube is placed within the artery that allows blood flow. Vascular surgery is also often used to treat abdominal aneurysms or help prevent strokes. If found in advance, a vascular specialist may surgically treat blocked arteries in the neck or upper chest to help prevent a possible stroke. A vascular surgeon may also surgically address vascular trauma or surgically redirect blood vessels in patients with poor circulation due to conditions such as diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. Patients with problems of the lymphatic system, such as lymphedema, may also require the care of a vascular surgical physician. Lymphedema is the retention of the fluids that carry blood products from the vessels to the cells. A vascular surgeon may also consult with patients suffering from scleroderma, an autoimmune disease that causes hardening of tissues, or Raynaud's syndrome, a disorder of the extremities that is characterized by blood vessel spasms and decreased blood flow. Different Types of Vascular Surgery Procedures Vascular surgery treats diseases of the arteries and veins. Most vascular surgeries are minimally invasive and address a number of vascular conditions and diseases. Here are some different types of vascular surgery. Carotid Stenting Carotid stenting is a procedure used to widen the artery in an effort to prevent stroke. The surgeon inserts a slender metal mesh tube into the carotid artery to increase blood flow to areas previously blocked by plaque. After the surgery, your physician may instruct you not to do any heavy lifting. Another common instruction is to take blood thinners following the surgery. Vein Stripping Vein stripping is used to treat varicose veins. Not only are varicose veins unsightly, but they are also painful in many cases. Vein stripping is a procedure done under anesthesia to remove varicose veins. Vein stripping is considered minor surgery. An incision is made below the vein. A thin wire is then inserted and used to grasp and remove the damaged vein. This is usually done as an outpatient procedure. In some cases, patients are asked to stay overnight. Patients are instructed to avoid physical activity for several weeks following the surgery. Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Endovascular aneurysm repair is a procedure used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms. An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a ballooning of the abdominal aorta. It usually occurs below the kidneys. This condition is most common in men and smokers aged 65 to 75. When the aneurysm is large enough, surgery is recommended. Endovasular aneurysm repair involves inserting a small graft inside of the aneurysm. The placement of the graft allows blood to pass through and removes pressure off the weakening aortic wall. Endovascular patients have an average hospital stay of eight days. Balloon Embolectomy Thrombectomy Acute limb ischaemia occurs when there is a sudden loss of blood flow to the limb. A balloon embolectomy thrombectomy is used to treat this condition. It is considered a minimally invasive surgery. It consists of a hollow tube with a small balloon at the tip. The tube is placed through an incision through the blood vessel. The balloon is inflated so that it displaces the blood clot that is interrupting blood flow to the limb. Expect bruising or swelling around the area post-surgery. The typical hospital stay is five to seven days.

Weight Loss Surgery
Minimally Invasive Weight Loss Surgery at World's Best Hospitals in India Gastric Banding Weight Loss Surgery, Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery India This procedure is one of the most popular techniques of modern-day medicine. Weightloss surgery not only reduces the patients’ weight but also decreases the chance of obesity-related health issues. This procedure is done using the laparoscopic method to minimize the scar and to enable a speedy recovery . Bariatric surgery, also referred to as weight loss surgery, is the procedure done for those people who are severely obese. In this weight loss procedure, the size of the stomach is reduced by implanting gastric banding medical device. This can also be done by re-routing and resecting the small intestines to a small stomach pouch and the process is termed as gastric bypass surgery. The other way could be a removal of the stomach (Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch or sleeve gastrectomy). Body Mass Index (BMI) Body Mass Index expresses the ratio between a person’s body weight and height. BMI= Weight in Kilograms/(Height in metres)2 Classification Overweight = 25-29.9 BMI Obesity 1 = 30-34.9 BMI Obesity2 = 35-39.9 BMI Morbidly Obese > 40 BMI Obesity is a chronic disease since its symptoms develop gradually. Obesity may also cause joint pain, back aches, breathlessness and skin problems. In severe conditions morbid obesity may also lead to life threatening conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels ,sleep apnoea and cancer. Who should consider Weight Loss Surgery? The candidates should possess these following qualifications so that they can be considered for this weight-loss surgery A candidate should have a BMI (Body Mass Index) in between 35-40. The candidate should also possess an obesity-related condition of diabetes mellitus, severe sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. A candidate should have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or more. The BMI in between 20-25 is considered as normal. The calculation of BMI is done by dividing the weight of a person in kilograms by height in meters squared. Types of Weight Loss Surgery Adjustable Gastric Band The Adjustable Gastric Band – often called the band – involves an inflatable band that is placed around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a small stomach pouch above the band, and the rest of the stomach below the band. The Procedure The common explanation of how this device works is that with the smaller stomach pouch, eating just a small amount of food will satisfy hunger and promote the feeling of fullness. The feeling of fullness depends upon the size of the opening between the pouch and the remainder of the stomach created by the gastric band. The size of the stomach opening can be adjusted by filling the band with sterile saline, which is injected through a port placed under the skin. Reducing the size of the opening is done gradually over time with repeated adjustments or "fills." The notion that the band is a restrictive procedure (works by restricting how much food can be consumed per meal and by restricting the emptying of the food through the band) has been challenged by studies that show the food passes rather quickly through the band, and that absence of hunger or feeling of being satisfied was not related to food remaining in the pouch above the band. What is known is that there is no malabsorption; the food is digested and absorbed as it would be normally. The clinical impact of the band seems to be that it reduces hunger, which helps the patients to decrease the amount of calories that are consumed. Advantages Reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold Induces excess weight loss of approximately 40–50 percent (Results may vary from patient to patient depending on their medical condition) Involves no cutting of the stomach or rerouting of the intestines Requires a shorter hospital stay, usually less than 24 hours, with some centers discharging the patient the same day as surgery Is reversible and adjustable Has the lowest rate of early postoperative complications and mortality among the approved bariatric procedures Has the lowest risk for vitamin/mineral deficiencies Sleeve Gastrectomy The Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy – often called the sleeve – is performed by removing approximately 80 percent of the stomach. The remaining stomach is a tubular pouch that resembles a banana. The Procedure This procedure works by several mechanisms. First, the new stomach pouch holds a considerably smaller volume than the normal stomach and helps to significantly reduce the amount of food (and thus calories) that can be consumed. The greater impact, however, seems to be the effect the surgery has on gut hormones that impact a number of factors including hunger, satiety, and blood sugar control. Short term studies show that the sleeve is as effective as the roux-en-Y gastric bypass in terms of weight loss and improvement or remission of diabetes. There is also evidence that suggest the sleeve, similar to the gastric bypass, is effective in improving type 2 diabetes independent of the weight loss. The complication rates of the sleeve fall between those of the adjustable gastric band and the roux-en-y gastric bypass. Advantages Restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold Induces rapid and significant weight loss that comparative studies find similar to that of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Weight loss of >50% for 3-5+ year data, and weight loss comparable to that of the bypass with maintenance of >50% Requires no foreign objects (AGB), and no bypass or re-routing of the food stream (RYGB) Involves a relatively short hospital stay of approximately 2 days Causes favorable changes in gut hormones that suppress hunger, reduce appetite and improve satiety Gastric Bypass The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass – often called gastric bypass – is considered the ‘gold standard’ of weight loss surgery and is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. The Procedure There are two components to the procedure. First, a small stomach pouch, approximately one ounce or 30 milliliters in volume, is created by dividing the top of the stomach from the rest of the stomach. Next, the first portion of the small intestine is divided, and the bottom end of the divided small intestine is brought up and connected to the newly created small stomach pouch. The procedure is completed by connecting the top portion of the divided small intestine to the small intestine further down so that the stomach acids and digestive enzymes from the bypassed stomach and first portion of small intestine will eventually mix with the food. The gastric bypass works by several mechanisms. First, similar to most bariatric procedures, the newly created stomach pouch is considerably smaller and facilitates significantly smaller meals, which translates into less calories consumed. Additionally, because there is less digestion of food by the smaller stomach pouch, and there is a segment of small intestine that would normally absorb calories as well as nutrients that no longer has food going through it, there is probably to some degree less absorption of calories and nutrients. Most importantly, the rerouting of the food stream produces changes in gut hormones that promote satiety, suppress hunger, and reverse one of the primary mechanisms by which obesity induces type 2 diabetes.
