Arthroscopic Surgery in India

What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopic surgery (also known as keyhole surgery) is that procedure where the doctor looks inside a joint in your body through a thin viewing instrument, called an arthroscope. He examines joint surfaces and surrounding soft tissues, ligaments, cartilage and then provides a cushion between the bones. This process is used in the diagnoses of a joint problem, and then perform surgery for repairing any joint problem, removing a loose or foreign body, or for monitoring a disease or the end result of any treatment. It is performed on shoulder, elbow, knee, wrist, hip and ankle.
During the process, arthroscope with attached light source and a video camera is inserted into the joint through an incision made in the skin. The images can be seen on the monitor which give a proper view of the condition of the patient's joints. When surgery is performed, more instruments are inserted into the joints through smaller incisions.

Arthroscopy Why it's done - Tests and Procedures

Arthroscopy is done in following cases:

  • For evaluating and diagnosing problem in a joint problem other diagnostic tests do not prove to be helpful
  • For performing surgery to repair a joint problem that includes the following :
  1. Repairing or trimming soft tissues
  2. Damaged or torn cartilage
  3. Cutting, repairing or reconstructing ligaments
  4. Removal of calcium deposit from bone tissue
  5. Removal of an inflamed scar tissue of joint lining
  6. Collecting samples of joint fluid

Types Of Arthroscopy

  • Knee - The doctor looks inside the patient's knee to find out what exactly is causing the problem and what the problem actually is. Whether there is a tear of one of the cartilages or whether one of the ligaments within the knee joint is torn. Another reason may be a loose piece of bone in the knee joint or there might arthritis in part of the knee. After diagnosis, the surgery is done
  • Shoulder - The doctor looks inside the patient's shoulder to diagnose the exact problem and its cause. There can be a number of problems for which surgery can be required such as in some people, the shoulder might be coming out of the joint. In others, the condition of the tendons above the shoulder joint has to be seen.
  • Wrist - In wrist arthroscopy, the surgeon diagnoses and treats various problems related to the patient's wrist with the help of a number of extremely small incisions. According to statistics, during the last 5 years, wrist has become the third most common joint to undergo arthroscopy, after knee and shoulder. Since the incisions are smaller, the pain, swelling and stiffness are also reduced with quicker recovery.
  • Elbow - In elbow arthroscopy, the surgeon inserts arthroscope (with an attached camera), into the patient's elbow joint. The camera shows the pictures on the TV monitor and the surgeon uses these pictures for guiding his surgical instruments. He makes small cuts in the elbow makes the pain and swelling less but recover faster.
  • Hip - In hip arthroscopy, the surgeon performs his task by making small incisions that are around 1 cm each, using a camera so that he can look inside the hip joint. This process is much less invasive than the other traditional procedures.

Coronary Angioplasty Treatments in India With Surgery Tours India

Coronary Angioplasty Treatments India

Procedure for Coronary Angioplasty

Angioplasty is derived from the words 'Angio' meaning vessel and plasticos which means fit for molding. Angioplasty is a medical procedure which involves the alteration of a narrowed or obstructed vascular lumen usually caused by atheroma. All kinds of vascular interventions performed in minimally invasive or percutaneous method are a part of the angioplasty. Angioplasty was first used in 1977 where a tiny balloon was used to open and widen narrowed arteries. Now the procedure has improved with the use of modern devices like stents, laser and new methods.

Procedure for Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary Angioplasty also known as percutaneous coronary intervention involves a small incision to be made in the arm or groin to find an artery. The cardiologist leads a thin wire through the incision to the blocked artery. As soon as the wire reaches the blocked artery, a catheter with a deflated balloon is passed over the inserted wire to the blocked area. When the tube reaches the blockage the balloon is inflated which in turn widens the artery the increase the blood flow. Plaque removers may be used to remove the deposited plaque from the walls of the artery. Modern devices like stents are used to keep the artery open. A stent is permanently fixed. After about 4 to 5 hours of the Coronary Angioplasty the wire and catheter are removed.

How long does the Coronary Angioplasty procedure take?

Percutaneous coronary intervention usually takes about 2 hours. During the procedure, the patient is kept awake but feels drowsy due to the effect of medication given to him.

Coronary Angioplasty Facilities

The Cardiologists at Hospitals have pioneered Coronary Artery Stenting in India. They have specialized in techniques including Percutaneous Transluminal Septal Myocardial Ablation.

There has been a latest advancement in Coronary Angiopalsty in the form of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), which is available in India too.

Chemotherapy for Cancer Treatment In India

Chemotherapy Treatment In India

Cancer is a condition in which body continuously divide or forms large number of cells for no use. This is unstoppable process but it can be controlled with chemotherapy. Chemoor CTX or CTx usechemotherapeutic agents, chemical substances and anti-cancer medications to kill or shrink cancer cells. It is given along with hormonal & targeted therapyto reduce symptoms.

Other conditions treated with chemo are:
  • AL amyloidosis
  • Scleroderma
  • Crohn's diseases
  • Psoriasis
  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
Chemotherapy slows down the cancer growth and stops them from dividing quickly. This therapy kills cancer cells as well as healthy cells which may cause side effects. But side effects become negligible once chemo is over.

What Does Chemotherapy Do?

Chemotherapy is used to cure and control cancer. Once the cells are destroyed by chemotherapy then cancer cells will never grow back. It stops cancer cells from spreading and growing in other parts of your body. It also shrinks tumors which causes pain.

How is Chemotherapy Used?


Chemotherapy is used as a cancer treatment but may be combined with surgery, radiation therapy,Oral chemo medications and biological therapy as per severity. In neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, large tumor is shrinked before surgery or radiation therapy. In adjuvant chemotherapy, cancer cells that may remain live after surgery or radiation therapy are destructed. Radiation therapy and biological therapy is the best combination to make it work better. Recurrent cancer or cancer cells (metastatic) which appear again or may spread in the body are destructed with chemotherapy. Induction chemotherapy is used for curative intent.Consolidation chemotherapy is for improving overall survival and to make body cancer free. If detected with side effects, your doctor or nurse will immediately make changes in medications.

Cardiac bypass surgery in India low cost advantages

cardiac bypass surgery India

What Is Cardiac Bypass Surgery?

Cardiac bypass surgery is a procedure that restores the flow of the blood to the heart, when there obstruction occurs due to blockages in one or more arteries. These arteries are bypassed by using blood vessels taken from the other parts of the body like chest and legs. The blood vessels bypasses over the blocked artery to create new pathways for oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart. These blood vessels restore and improve the blood flow to the heart. This surgery is usually performed with the heart stopped, necessitating the usage of cardiopulmonary bypass; techniques are available to perform bypass surgery on a beating heart, so-called "off-pump" surgery. Depending on the number of blocked coronary arteries, a patient may need one, two, three or more bypasses.

Conditions for Cardiac Bypass Surgery:

Cardiac Bypass Surgery is required in following conditions-
  • Patient has a blockage in one or more of his/her coronary arteries. Coronary arteries are the small blood vessels that supply your heart with oxygen and nutrients that are carried in your blood.
  • If a patient has one or more artery severely narrowed and obstructing the blood flow and a weak pumping heart.
  • Patient has an artery blockage for which angioplasty isn't appropriate and had a previous angioplasty or stent placement that hasn't been successful, or had stent placement but the artery has narrowed again.
  • Cardiac bypass surgery is also done in emergencies conditions like heart attack when other treatments are not responding.
The goals of cardiac bypass surgery is to relieve symptoms of coronary artery disease such as chest pain (angina) and /or shortness of breath (including angina), which enables the patient to resume a normal lifestyle and to lower the risk of a heart attack or other heart problems.

Risk Factors Related to Cardiac Bypass Surgery:

There are risks and complications associated with the procedure which should be considered before going for Cardiac bypass surgery and those include:-

  • Chest wound infection
  • Low-grade fever and chest pain
  • Loss of mental clarity, or "fuzzy thinking"
  • Heart rhythm problems

Colon Cancer: Causes-Cost Treatment In India | Surgery Tours India


Colon & rectum are the endpoints of the large intestine. Cancer that affects colon is called Colon Cancer. If it affects both colon & rectum then it is called colorectal cancer . This cancer is the 3rd leading cause of concern in men & 4th leading cause in women. When localized to bowel region this cancer is often curable & very much treatable. With surgery chances of life expectancy is more, however reoccurrence following surgery can be fatal & often causing death.

What Is Colon Cancer?

This cancer starts from the inner wall of large intestine which begins as a small polyp. These abnormal cells have the ability to spread to the other parts of body. Also gastrointestinal stromal tumors can occur in the colon. The polyps can be detected with the regular screening or colonoscopy or done by barium enema with biopsy confirmation of cancer tissue.

Causes of Colon Cancer

The leading cause of colon cancer is genetics i.e. this group accounts for 25% of colorectal cancers since it includes familial polyposis, hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch syndrome variants I & II, history of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's colitis & history of ovarian, endometrial, or breast cancer.

Colon Cancer Symptoms

Colon cancer symptoms are -

  • Change in bowel habits
  • Bleeding
  • Constipation or diarrhoea
  • Unable to empty bowel completely
  • An urgency to move bowels
  • Rectal cramping or bleeding
  • Dark patches of blood in or on stool
  • Long, thin, "pencil stools"
  • Bloating
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Weight loss
  • Pelvic pain

Types of Colon Cancer

The most common type of colon cancer is Adenocarcinoma. It is an intestinal gland cells cancer which represent more than 95 percent of colon & rectal cancers.

Types of Adenocarcinoma

  • Mucinous Adenocarcinoma where 60% is mucus & account for 10 - 15 percent of all colon & rectal adenocarcinomas.
  • Signet Ring Cell Adenocarcinoma is typically aggressive difficult to treat & accounts for less than one percent of adenocarcinomas.

Other Colon Cancer Types

  • Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumors
  • Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
  • Primary Colorectal Lymphoma
  • Leiomyosarcoma
  • Melanoma
  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Treatment Options & Procedure for Colon Cancer

Colon cancer treatment in India depends on the stage of the diseases in spite of the shape and size of the tumor. Various treatment options are available to cure the colon cancer like-

Surgery:

This is the most common treatment for colorectal cancer and is known as surgical resection. The procedure includes removal of colon tumor and nearby lymph nodes.

Radiation Therapy:

The high-energy x-rays are used to destroy the cancer cells in radiation therapy. The beam of high-energy rays is focused on the tumor to kill the cancer cells of the tumor without affecting the surrounding tissues and cells.

Chemotherapy:

The cancer cells are destroyed using drugs which stop the growing and dividing ability of the cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be given through pills and capsules that are swallowed or through the intravenous tube placed into the vein.

Targeted Therapy:

This treatment targets the cancer-specific genes, proteins or the tissue environment that contributes the growth of cancer and survival. The procedure blocks the growth and spread of cancer cells while limiting the damage to the healthy ones.

Cost of Colon Cancer Treatment

Everything about a cancer is expensive no matter if it is in terms of finance, emotions, mental strength or the courage to fight the disease. The increasing cost cancer drugs and treatments are quite irritating. The cost of colon cancer treatment isn't just affecting the patients and their families but also the society. If the patients are global, they would be spending somewhere about 60-70% more than Indian counterparts for the whole procedure. India is among a few inexpensive destinations of the world for cancer treatment. The patients have to choose smartly between more successful expensive treatments and less effective affordable treatments. Cancer affects people far more financially than they usually realize. India is the one stop solution for low-cost affordable treatment for colon cancer and with passing time it is emerging as a prime destination for medical tourism due to its positive outcomes. Making a smart move while choosing the hospital, country, doctor and insurance policy can allow the patient to get treated in fair amount without hampering the financial and personal life.

Benefits of Colon Cancer Treatment

Surgery, chemotherapy & radiotherapy are the main treatment options for Colon Cancer. In surgery there is complete removal of colon cancer for relieving its symptoms. It is the most effective treatment for early stage colon cancers to increase life expectancy. Chemotherapy & radiation will kill or shrink the growth of cancer or extend & improve overall patient's quality of life.

Why People Choose India for Colon Cancer Treatment?

India is a favoured destination for all types of surgeries right from traditional to minimal invasive.

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery India | Surgery Tours India

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery India

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

A laparoscopic hernia repair is basically a minimally invasive surgical procedure used in repair of most types of hernia. A hernia is caused when the internal organs or tissues bulge out and can be seen straining against the abdominal wall noticeably.

Hernias are seen in various parts of the body such as abdomen, diaphragm, groin, brain and at previous surgery sites. Many different methods are used to treat or repair hernia including hernioplasty, herniorrhaphy and herniotomy although laparoscopic hernia repair is still considered to be most convenient and efficient than other traditional hernia repair methods.

A laparoscopic hernia repair procedure is used to treat various types of hernias such as umbilical hernia, femoral hernia, inguinal hernia, etc.

How is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair surgery performed?

A hernia repair surgery is to correct the abnormal bulge caused by bulging internal organ or tissue accumulation. The hernia repair may be performed using the more conventional open-type surgical method which is more time-consuming and extensive. The latest technique in repairing hernias is the minimally invasive surgical method known as 'laparoscopic hernia repair surgery'.

The laparoscopic hernia repair surgery is similar to other minimally invasive procedures. The surgery requires administering general anesthesia to the patient. A very small (keyhole) incision is made in the navel or just below it. The surgeon will fill carbon dioxide gas in the abdominal cavity through this incision in order to inflate it and get a better view of all the abdominal organs and tissues.

A thin and flexible tube (laparoscope) is inserted from this keyhole incision. This laparoscope is initially fitted with a cold light-source and a video camera at its end so the surgeon can get a good visual of the abdominal organs and tissues on the video monitor. The surgeon then uses specialized tiny surgical instruments attached to similar flexible tubes to perform the surgical procedure. This involves the surgeon repairing the hernia by pushing it back to its original position and preventing the bulging of the organ or the herniated tissue. After shifting the herniated tissue back into its original position the surgeon will use a surgical mesh to be fixed over the previously herniated tissue to prevent it from bulging out again in the future.

A laparoscopic hernia repair is known to be considerably less painful and also decreases the amount of time spent in the hospital as well as the recovery period.

Why is a Laparoscopic Hernia Repair required?

A laparoscopic hernia repair is one of the more convenient and efficient methods of repairing herniated organs and tissues, especially in the abdominal region. A surgical repair is required for painful hernias including strangulated or incarcerated hernias. For children with inguinal hernias a surgery is the most ideal treatment method.

Best Pediatric Neurosurgery Treatment in India | Surgery Tours India

Pediatric Neurosurgery Treatment India

What is Neurosurgery ?

The surgery of the nervous system is termed as neurosurgery. Neurosurgery is a medical specialty that is primarily concerned with the treatment and diagnosis of the patients who are suffering from disorders or diseases of the spinal column, spinal cord, brain and peripheral nerves within all parts of the body. Both pediatric and adult patients are included in the neurological care. A neurological surgeon recommends surgical and non-surgical care depending upon the nature of the disease or injury.

What is Pediatric Neurosurgery ?

Pediatric neurology is primarily concerned with any disorder of the central nervous system such as spinal cord, brain, muscles and nerves in children. A pediatric neurologist treats and diagnosis conditions that include behavioral problems such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), movement disorders such as cerebral palsy and seizure disorders such as epilepsy.

Pediatric Neurology Diseases and Conditions

Pediatric neurosurgeons treat different types of diseases/conditions -

  • Epilepsy : This condition is a brain disorder that results in recurring seizures. These seizures occur when the neurons or nerve cell clusters within the brain are sending incorrect signals.
  • Hydrocephalus: Hydrocephalus is the condition where there is excess accumulation of fluid inside the brain. This condition can be either present at the time of birth or congenital.
  • Spasticity : Spasticity is a condition of muscle disorder which is categorized by the inability to control the stiff or tight muscles. When the central nervous system causes an imbalance of the signals results in the condition of spasticity. This imbalance can be seen in those people who are suffering from traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury and stroke.
  • Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors: These tumors are found in the tissue within the bony spinal column or the skull that builds-up the central nervous system. These tumors can be found in any part of the body and occurs when the genes regulating cell growth become mutated or damaged.
  • Craniosynostosis: In this birth defect, one or more joints in between the bones of the skull close early or prematurely, prior to the formation of the brain in an infant. In this condition the head is misshapen and the brain cannot grow in its original shape.
  • Chairi Malformations: They are structural defects in the cerebellum ( a part of the brain which controls balance).
  • Vascular and Cerebrovascular Disorders: The flow of the blood inside the brain is referred to as cerebrovascular. When a part of the brain is permanently or temporarily affected by lack of blood flow or bleeding causes cerebrovascular diseases.
  • Pediatric Spinal Disorders: Pediatric spinal disorders treatment and diagnosis varies from adult spinal disorders. A large number of traumatic, developmental, neoplastic and congenital disorders can occur in pediatric age group.
  • Cerebral Palsy : Cerebral palsy is a set of disorders associated with functioning of brain and nervous system, affecting movement, learning, hearing ability in a child. It can be of various types like spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, hypotonic and mixed.

Scoliosis Surgery in India | Scoliosis Surgery Cost India

Scoliosis Surgery in India

Scoliosis Surgery in India

Scoliosis surgery in India is a great attraction for medical tourists because of excellent facilities and low costs of services. Scoliosis treatment in India is a good solution for scoliosis patients due to:

Scoliosis: An Overview

Every person has a natural curve in their spine. The natural curvature makes the spine aligned slightly inward in the lower part of the back. But some people have a deformity in the alignment of the spine, therefore, making it appear curved from side to side. This sideways alignment of the spine curvature is known as scoliosis.

A rear view spine X-ray shows a straight line in the case of a normal individual. But the spine of a patient with scoliosis looks "S" or "C" shaped. A mild curvature ranges between 10 to 20 degrees, while a moderate curvature ranges between 20 and 50 degrees. On the other hand, a curvature of more than 50 degrees is considered as a severe spinal curvature.

Types of Scoliosis

Usually, scoliosis is differentiated on the basis of their cause. But sometimes the location of the spinal  curvature may also be considered to differentiate scoliosis. Differentiation on the basis of cause: 

There are three types of scoliosis in this category:

Functional scoliosis: In this case, abnormality in the alignment arises due to a problem somewhere else in the body. Specific conditions such as a difference in the length of the legs, muscle spasms, or inflammatory conditions such as appendicitis may give rise to functional scoliosis.

Neuromuscular scoliosis: This condition develops at the time of bone or spine formation. Bones of the spine do not form completely or they fail to get separated from each other and remain fused during the development of the fetus. Neuromuscular scoliosis often results in C-shaped curvature and muscles eventually become weak while keeping the spine upright.


Degenerative scoliosis: Adults are more likely to get affected with degenerative scoliosis as it results because of problems such as spondylosis, osteoporosis, and disc degeneration. Abnormal bone spurs are present along with weak ligaments in the spine that may give rise to a diverged curvature of the spine.

ASD Closure Surgery in India: Surgeries and Devices Used For Treatment

ASD Closure Surgery India

What is an ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) Closure?

An atrial septal defect (ASD) is caused when the person's heart develops a hole in the wall that divides the atrial chambers (upper two chambers) of the heart. This results in the mixing of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood that is likely to cause certain complications that affect the heart and lungs in the affected person.

A large ASD is also known to cause severe complications such as:
  • Heart stroke risk
  • Arrhythmia
  • Heart failure of the right-hand side
  • Pulmonary hypertension
  • Eisenmenger syndrome

What are the types of devices and surgeries used to treat Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)?

The treatment method and the device to be used to perform a successful and efficient atrial septal defect (ASD) is dependent on a number of factors that basically deal with the size of the hole as well as the general overall health of the patient.

Medications can be prescribed to relieve some of the discomforting signs and symptoms that arise due to atrial septal defect (ASD). Medications can also decrease the risk of other complications to arise after the surgery such as anticoagulants to prevent blood clot as well as beta blockers to prevent arrhythmia.

The treatment method to perform an ASD closure involves surgery and is usually suggested to be done as soon as the ASD is detected to prevent further complications from arising in the future. Surgical method of treating is used to treat medium to large sized atrial septal holes.

These are the two main types of surgical treatments that are recommended for ASD closure:

Cardiac catheterization

This surgery involves inserting a catheter (thin surgical tube) into the groin area and guiding it to the heart using imaging technology. This catheter is then used to block and close the hole in the atrial region of the heart using a plug or a mesh patch. The mesh acts as a support for tissue to grow around the hole and eventually seal it.


This method is efficient in repairing secundum atrial septal defects and may not be successful in repairing larger sized atrial septal defects.
