Laparoscopy Surgery Treatment in India at Aastha Healthcare Hospital

'Going under the scissors' has always been a fear lived by practically every human. Whenever we talk about an operation, the first thing that comes to mind is - "Oh God! They are going to cut me open…." Well, not anymore! Reducing the size of incisions has been a dream of surgeons for thousands of years and with Laparoscopy, they have been able to achieve just that.

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure performed through very small incisions in the abdomen, using specialized instruments. This type of surgery is also called 'minimally invasive surgery' or 'keyhole surgery' because of the very small incisions used. Yet major procedures can now be performed using this technique. In this procedure, a pencil-thin instrument called a laparoscope is used. A laparoscope has lenses like a telescope to magnify body structures, a powerful light to illuminate them, and a miniature video camera. The camera sends a magnified image from inside the body to a video monitor, giving the surgeon a close-up view of the organs and tissues. Specialized surgical instruments can be inserted through the laparoscope, and through small incisions nearby. These instruments serve as tiny hands within the abdomen and assist the surgeon. Laparoscopy is used either to treat the problem (laparoscopic surgery) or to diagnose it (diagnostic laparoscopy). With laparoscopy, the doctor can identify diseased organs, take tissue samples for biopsy, and remove abnormal growths.

Advantages of laparoscopy surgery :

Despite small holes, there is no compromise in the field of vision. Much more of the 'insides' can be seen than is possible at an open operation. Unlike the 'mini-incision' operations, here the entire abdomen can be visualised ensuring no abnormal anatomy or pathology is missed. In the case of diagnostic laparoscopy, quick information is gained and the entire procedure can be recorded on video and further opinion can be taken from other surgeons in case of a diagnostic dilemma.

Bariatrics Surgery Treatment in India at Aastha Healthcare Hospital

Obesity is a growing epidemic of global proportions. There are more than 1 billion adults overweight and at least 300 million of them clinically obese. And this is surely a major contributor to the global burden of chronic disease and disability. Obesity is not about being overweight anymore; it is considered a disease now!

For many, the routine diets and exercises are not enough. Years of dieting can result in a poor metabolism and the ability to lose only a small amount of weight without achieving or maintaining significant results. Serious health problems such as diabetes, arthritis, thyroid dysfunction, hypertension, and respiratory problems can also hinder weight loss. If you have been unsuccessful in losing weight after exhausting all weight loss methods, you may need to consider weight loss surgery or "Bariatric Surgery".

Aastha Health Care is proud to offer advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques to the patient, like gastric bypass surgery, Adjustable Gastric Band surgery, and sleeve gastrectomy. The centre is renowned for its dedication and passion towards its patients. When our patients come to Aastha Health Care for Bariatric Surgery, our role is not just limited at the operating table. Infact we go a step ahead than others, and become their advocate, guide, and support, throughout the journey.

Fertility Center Clinics in India at Aastha Healthcare Hospital

Becoming a parent is a dream of every couple. It gives extension to ones personality and also makes the bond between a couple stronger. It is often taken for granted as something attainable by all who want to have children. But the fact is not so. Failure to conceive or infertility can become a chronic condition, wherein people experience major disruptions in their lives and their relationships. Failure of a couple to conceive after trying to do so for at least one full year is called infertility. When the couple is not able to conceive even for the first time, it is called primary infertility. In secondary infertility, one or both members of the couple have previously conceived, but are unable to conceive again after a full year of trying. Pregnancy is the result of a complex chain of events.

Infertility can result from problems that interfere with any of the above steps. There are many couples that establish their central identity as 'infertile' and they begin to define themselves by their infertility. They see themselves as failures because of their inability to conceive. This sense of themselves as failures takes on overwhelming proportions in their lives. They are unable to separate treatment failure from personal failure. They push themselves to the periphery. Infertility often leads to isolation because individuals find it difficult to socialize in the "fertile world." In the first part of the 20th century, scientists believed infertility was often psychogenic i.e. resulting from psychological stress. Later in the century, more attention was focused on infertility as a stressor in people's lives. Today, we recognize that stress can affect fertility, and we also recognize infertility is a major stressor for people.

Urosurgery Treatment and Endourology Treatment

Urology is a surgical specialty which deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. The complexity of knowledge and rapid development of technologies used to assess and treat the conditions affecting the genito-urinary tract have prompted the development of subspecialties within urology.

Endourology involves the use of small fibre optic scopes which can be passed through the urethra to visualize internally the lining of the urinary tract from kidney to bladder. Thin, flexible instruments including lasers, graspers, miniature stone retrieval baskets, special scalpels, and cautery, can be advanced through working channels in the scopes in order to perform surgery without creating any incisions at all. The majority of endoscopic procedures can be done on an outpatient basis.

At Aastha Health Care, surgeons use state-of-the-art surgery procedures that use optic devices to view body cavities, providing a variety of diagnostic and corrective procedures that are less invasive than conventional procedures. The procedures, known as Endosurgery, also offer the benefit of reduced trauma to the patient.

Obstetrics Treatment and Gynaecology Treatment in India at Aastha Healthcare Hospital

A woman starts her journey as a daughter fulfilling the expectations of her family. She then becomes a wife, and supports the needs of her family. As a mother, then she becomes an epitome of sacrifice and surrenders completely for the needs of her child. In the old age, she plays an important role in holding her family together and providing guidance to the youngsters. She plays all these roles with dignity and grace and hence womanhood is ever saluted. During this entire phase, she also submits her body to numerous pains and tortures, physical abuse and more.

No branch of medicine has changed as radically in the past three decades, as has Obstetrics and Gynaecology. This specialty has expanded its horizons and interests.

At the same time, we cannot forget that this is an intensely human, emotion-laden process which must not lose its psychological character and force in a welter of scientific methodology. So Aastha has a special cell for Obstetrics and Gynaecology to recognize the problems of these amazing women and take care of them. This special cell offers the care of the pregnant woman, her unborn child and the management of diseases specific to women.

At Aastha, we have introduced the concept of 'painless delivery'. And not only this, we have combined clinical expertise along with latest technologies to meet the unique needs of infants by providing a comprehensive array of general, tertiary and specialty care. While keeping pace with the latest advances in medical science, we have also ensured that the human elements of caring and compassion have remained the same.

Minimally Invasive Procedure for Haemorrhoid Treatment in India at Aastha Healthcare Hospital

Haemorrhoids are one of the most commonly occurring ailments, affecting both men and women. One reason people do not talk about haemorrhoid problems with their doctors is because they anticipate a painful, traditional haemorrhoid surgery. But the fact is that better understanding of the disease process along with new technological improvements; have enabled more procedures to be performed as day care procedure.

Piles or Haemorrhoids can occur at any age. Many experts believe that they are caused by continuous high pressure in the veins of the body, which occurs because humans stand upright. The causes of haemorrhoids include constipation and excessive straining during bowel movements. Persistent diarrhoea and loose stool movements are also causes of haemorrhoids, and some people inherit a family tendency to develop piles. Women are more susceptible to haemorrhoids during pregnancy, as pressure from the growing uterus restricts blood flow in the pelvic area. Lifestyle factors can also contribute to haemorrhoid development.

Haemorrhoids may be internal or external. Both types of haemorrhoids can be present at the same time. Internal haemorrhoids are classified further based upon the degree to which they protrude from the anal canal. This grading system is important since the grade in part determines which type of treatment is best. But no widely used grading system exists for external haemorrhoids.

Itching and irritation probably occur because the lumpy piles stop acting as soft pads to keep the mucus in; instead, a little mucus leaks out and irritates the area around the anus. Pain and discomfort comes from swelling around the pile, and from scratching of the lining of the anal canal by faeces as they pass over the lumpy area. The scratching also causes bleeding, which is a fresh bright red colour and may be seen on faeces or toilet paper or dripping in the pan. A pile that has been pushed down (a second- or third-degree pile) may be felt as a lump at the anus. Internal haemorrhoids cannot cause cutaneous pain, but they can bleed and prolapse. Prolapse of internal haemorrhoids can cause perianal pain by causing a spasm of the sphincter complex. This spasm results in discomfort while the prolapsed haemorrhoids are exposed. The discomfort is relieved with reduction. Internal haemorrhoids can also cause acute pain when incarcerated and strangulated. Again, the pain is related to the sphincter complex spasm.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Treatment in India at Aastha Healthcare Hospital

The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that lies beneath the liver in the right-upper abdomen. The gallbladder is connected to the liver (which produces the bile) by the hepatic duct. Its function is to store bile. When food containing fat reaches the small intestine, a hormone called cholecystokinin is produced by cells in the intestinal wall and is carried to the gall bladder via the bloodstream. The hormone causes the gall bladder to contract, forcing bile into the common bile duct. A valve, which opens only when food is present in the intestine, allows bile to flow from the common bile duct into the duodenum (upper intestine) where it functions in the process of fat digestion.

What is cholecystitis?

Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder wall and nearby abdominal lining. Cholecystitis can occur suddenly or gradually over many years. Acute cholecystitis is the sudden onset of inflammation of the gallbladder, resulting in severe, steady upper abdominal pain (biliary colic), which may occur repeatedly. Chronic cholecystitis is long-standing inflammation of the gallbladder characterized by repeated attacks of pain (gallbladder attacks) over a prolonged period.

At least 95% of people with acute cholecystitis have gallstones. Gallstones are stones which are formed in the gallbladder. The Gall Bladder stores and concentrates bile. Sometimes the substances contained in bile crystallize in the gall bladder, forming stones. These small, hard concretions are more common in persons over 40, especially in women and the obese. Rarely, acute cholecystitis occurs in a person without gallstones (acalculous cholecystitis). In these cases the cause can be any major injury, operation or burn, bacterial infection in the bile duct system, tumor of the pancreas or liver.
