Leukaemia Blood cancer Treatment in India | Surgery Tours India

About Leukaemia Cancer

Leukaemia is a cancer of blood cells. It begins in the bone marrow which are the soft tissues inside the bones. Most often, it is a cancer of white blood cells but some leukaemia start in other blood cells types. It produces abnormal white blood cells called leukaemia cells. These abnormal blood cells grow faster than normal blood cells and do not stop when they are supposed to.

There are several types of Leukaemia. In general, Leukaemia can be grouped into two broad categories:

Acute or Chronic: Acute Leukaemia gets worse in a short time period and may make you feel sick right away. Chronic Leukaemia gets worse slowly and may not cause symptoms for years.

Lymphocytic or Myelogenous: Lymphocytic leukaemia affects white blood cells. Myelogenous leukaemia affects white blood cells called myelocytes.

Types of Leukaemia include:

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL)

Acute Myelogenous Leukaemia (AML)

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia ( CLL)

Chronic Myelogenous Leukaemia (CML)

Causes of Leukaemia

The exact cause of leukaemia is still not known, however there are few risk factors which increase the risk of certain kinds of leukaemia. These include:

Certain genetic disorders like down syndrome are associated with increased risk of leukemia.

People exposed to high level of radiations . Nuclear reactor, for instance.

Certain Chemical Exposure like Benzene.

Viral Infections.

Smoking and tobacco use is associated with acute myelogenous leukemia.

People with medical conditions like Pneumonia, sinusitis, chronic osteoarthritis etc. have a slightly higher risk of developing leukemia.

Family history.

Symptoms:

Common Symptoms of acute or chronic leukaemia may include:

Swelling and pain on the left side of the abdomen

Swollen lymph nodes that usually don't hurt

Frequent bleeding from the gums or rectum and heavy menstrual bleeding

Feeling Weak or tired

Weight Loss or loss of appetite for no known reason

Fever or Night Sweats

Bone pain

Gastric Bypass Surgery in India | Hospitals, Doctors, Cost, Reviews

What is Gastric Bypass ?

Gastric bypass surgery is a type of Bariatric surgery. The procedure of gastric bypass surgery has been specifically designed for reducing the food intake for those who have failed to reduce their weight by every means. The purpose of the procedure is to make changes in the digestive system so as to limit the consumption of food. The procedure can improve the overall quality of life not only in terms of appearance but also reduce a number of health problems that overweight people are prone to suffer like heart problems and diabetes.

Types of Gastric Bypass Surgery

Biliopancreatic Diversion Bypass : This technique is less common and where the bypass is attached to the distal illium and the portion of the stomach is removed.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass : This technique is more common than Biliopancreatic diversion bypass. Roux-en-Y technique does not remove any portions of the stomach. The technique is performed with the help of open surgery by making 1 long incision. The technique can also be done laparoscopically and multiple smaller incisions are used instead of one long incision. The surgeon inserts a laparoscopic instrument in order to view the abdomen from within.

Who should consider Gastric Bypass Surgery ?

Candidates who have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or more.
Candidates who weigh 100 pounds or more than their ideal body weight.
Candidates who have serious health problems of heart disease and diabetes due to excess weight and who have a BMI of 35 or more.

Procedure for Gastric Bypass Surgery

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
The procedure begins by making the stomach smaller. Staples are used for dividing the stomach into two sections- a larger bottom section and a small upper section. Pouch (top section) is that part where the food eaten is stored. This pouch can hold around one ounce of food and is of walnut shape.
A bypass is the next step. The small part of the small intestine is connected to a small hole in the pouch. The food will travel from this top section of the stomach (pouch) into the small intestine. Due to this entire process, the food will absorb less calories.

Best Orthopedic Treatment in India | Surgery Tours India

Orthopedic Surgery in India

Orthopedic Surgery is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.

The word Orthopedics comes from two Greek words, ortho, meaning straight and pais, meaning child. Originally, orthopedic surgeons dealt with bone deformities in children, using braces to straighten the child's bones. With the development of anesthesia and an understanding of the importance of aseptic methods in surgery, orthopedic surgeons extended their role to include surgery involving the bones and related nerves and connective tissue.

Orthopedic sometimes spelled orthopaedic surgery is surgery performed by a medical specialist, such as an orthopedist or orthopedic surgeon, trained to deal with problems that develop in the bones, joints, and ligaments of the human body.

Some of the conditions and diseases an orthopaedic surgeon treats include:

Abnormalities of the fingers and toes.
Back pain, ruptured disks, sciatica and scoliosis.
Bone tumors, muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy.
Club foot, bunions, bow legs, knock knees and unequal leg length.
Fractures and dislocations.
Growth abnormalities.
Osteoarthritis.
Osteoporosis.
Rheumatoid arthritis.
Sports or work-related injuries.
Tendon injuries, pulled muscles, bursitis and torn cartilage.
Torn ligaments, sprains and strains.

Types of Orthopaedic Surgery Joint replacements

Joint replacement is a kind of orthopaedic surgery known for restoring freedom of movement and eliminate the pain because of degenerated and diseased joints. Hip and know replacement are the most common ones. Due to technological advancements, now-a-days cementless implants are being used for customized fitting to increase longevity. This surgery might not last long and may need a second chance too.

There are various kinds of joint replacement surgeries:

Total hip replacement
Total knee replacement
Total shoulder replacement
Total elbow replacement
Partial Knee Replacement
Wrist replacement
Hand joint (small) replacement surgery
Ankle joint replacement
Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery [MIKRS]

Skin Cancer : Symptoms, Causes and Treatment in India

Overview:

Skin Cancer is a cancer that forms in the tissues of the skin. It grows uncontrollably and affects the normal function of the skin. If left unchecked it can spread to other parts of the body. Most skin cancers form in older people on parts of the body exposed to the sun or in people who have weakened immune systems. Skin cancer can occur anywhere on the body, but it is most common when the skin is often exposed to sunlight, such as the face, neck, hands, and arms.

Symptoms of Skin Cancer:

Skin cancer is often painless and each type can look different.

BCC often appears as a small red or pink, waxy or shiny lump.
SCC often appears as a small pink lump with a hard or scaly or crusty skin.
Melanoma usually starts as a dark spot or mole.

Symptoms that may indicate skin cancer include any mole, spot, lump or patch that:

doesn't heal after four weeks
gets bigger - especially over 7mm (a quarter of an inch) in diameter
changes shape - look for an irregular edge
changes colour - darkens, becomes patchy or multi-shaded
becomes inflamed
is itchy or painful
bleeds or is crusty

These symptoms aren't always caused by skin cancer but if you have them, see your GP.

Types of Skin Cancer:

Like all body tissues our skin is made up of cells: basal cells, squamous cells and melanocytes. Skin cancer types are named after the skin cell in which the cancer develops: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.

Melanoma: Skin cancer that forms in melanocytes (skin cells that make pigment) is called melanoma. Melanoma is the deadliest type of skin cancer.
Basal Cell Carcinoma: Skin cancer that forms in the lower part of the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin) is called basal cell carcinoma.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Skin cancer that forms in squamous cells (flat cells that form the surface of the skin) is called squamous cell carcinoma.

What is Bone Marrow?

A part of bones called “bone marrow” create blood cells. Marrow is the soft, spongy tissue inside your bones. Bone marrow produces blood cells called “hematopoietic” stem cells. These cells will develop into many different kinds of cells. They can turn into more bone marrow cells. Or they can turn into any type of blood cell.

Certain cancers and different types of diseases keep hematopoietic stem cells from developing normally. If they’re not normal, neither are the blood cells that they make. A stem cell transplant provides you new stem cells. The new stem cells can make new, healthy blood cells. It creates the following parts of the blood.

Red Blood Cells: which carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
White Blood Cells: which fight infection.
Platelets: which are responsible for the formation of clots.

Bladder Cancer Treatment and Surgery India | Surgery Tours India

What is Bladder Cancer?

Bladder cancer refers to any of several types of malignant growths of the urinary bladder. It is a disease in which abnormal cells multiply without control in the bladder. The bladder is a hollow, muscular organ that stores urine; it is located in the pelvis. The most common type of bladder cancer begins in cells lining the inside of the bladder and is called transitional cell carcinoma (sometimes urothelial cell carcinoma). Most bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinomas (cancer that begins in cells that normally make up the inner lining of the bladder).

What are the Causes of Bladder Cancer?

We do not know exactly what causes bladder cancer; however, a number of carcinogens have been identified that are potential causes, especially in cigarette smoke. Research is focusing on conditions that alter the genetic structure of cells, causing abnormal cell reproduction. We do know that the following factors increase a person's risk of developing a bladder cancer:

Smoking: Smoking is the single greatest risk factor for bladder cancer. Smokers have more than twice the risk of developing bladder cancer as nonsmokers.

Chemical exposures at work: People who regularly work with certain chemicals or in certain industries have a greater risk of bladder cancer. Organic chemicals called aromatic amines present in dye industry are particularly linked with bladder cancer. Other industries prone to this include rubber and leather processing, textiles, hair coloring, paints, and printing.

Diet: People whose diets include large amounts of fried meats and animal fats are thought to be at higher risk of bladder cancer.

Aristolochia Fangchi: This herb is used in some dietary supplements and Chinese herbal remedies. People who took this herb as part of a weight loss program had higher rates of bladder cancer and kidney failure than the general population. Scientific studies on this herb have shown that it contains chemicals that can cause cancer in rats.

What are the Symptoms of Bladder Cancer?

A symptom is something the patient feels or reports, while a sign is something other people, including a doctor, may detect. For example, pain may be a symptom while a rash could be a sign. The most common signs and symptoms are:

Hematuria: Blood in urine (by far the most common symptom). It may appear Coca-Cola colored, or bright red in the urine. It could also appear in a microscopic examination of the urine.

More frequent urinations than usual

Urinary tract infection

Sudden urges to urinate

Pain when urinating; usually a burning sensation

The patient may also experience the following symptoms, but they are less common:

Pain in the pelvis

Back pain

Bone pain

Unexplained weight loss

Swelling of the legs

Rhinoplasty Surgery in India | Affordable Cost Nose Surgery in India | Surgery Tours India

Rhinoplasty Surgery in India

Rhinoplasty (RIE-no-plas-tee) is surgery that changes the shape of the nose. The motivation for rhinoplasty may be to change the appearance of the nose, improve breathing or both.

The upper portion of the structure of the nose is bone, and the lower portion is cartilage. Rhinoplasty can change bone, cartilage, skin or all three. Talk with your surgeon about whether rhinoplasty is appropriate for you and what it can achieve.

When planning rhinoplasty, your surgeon will consider your other facial features, the skin on your nose and what you would like to change. If you're a candidate for surgery, your surgeon will develop a customized plan for you.

Sometimes part or all of a rhinoplasty is covered by insurance.

Why it's done

Rhinoplasty can change the size, shape or proportions of your nose. It may be done to repair deformities from an injury, correct a birth defect or improve some breathing difficulties.

Risks

As with any major surgery, rhinoplasty carries risks such as:

Bleeding
Infection
An adverse reaction to the anesthesia

Other possible risks specific to rhinoplasty include but are not limited to:

Difficulty breathing through your nose
Permanent numbness in and around your nose
The possibility of an uneven-looking nose
Pain, discoloration or swelling that may persist
Scarring
A hole in the septum (septal perforation)
A need for additional surgery

Talk to your doctor about how these risks apply to you.

Cost of Rhinoplasty Surgery

The best part of getting a rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery in India, is that it is much less as compared to any other western countries. Low cost treatment in India does not affect the quality standard of the treatment, as India has best and latest medical facilities in the world.

Cancer Surgery Treatment in India - Surgery Tours India

What is Cancer?

Cancer is a medical term used to refer any one of a large number of diseases, characterized by the development of abnormal cells. Diseased cells grow and divide uncontrollably. They have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue. The disease also has the ability to spread throughout your body by the means of lymph systems and blood. Cancer cannot be specifically regarded as one disease rather it is made up of many diseases.

More than 100 types of cancers exist and are there that are named after the type of cell or organ from where they originate. The types of cancer can be categorized into different groups. Some of the major categories are:

Carcinoma: It is referred to a category of cancer originating in the human body tissues, in the skin or the tissue of internal organs. It can be further categorized into different subtypes that include basal cell carcinoma, transitional carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
Sarcoma: This category of cancer begins in fat, blood vessels, cartilage, bone, muscle or any other supportive or connective tissue, in cells outside the bone marrow.
Leukemia: This category of cancer originates in blood-forming tissue, which also includes bone marrow.
Myeloma and Lymphoma: This type of cancers starts from the cells of the immune system.
Germ cell tumor: This refers to cancers derived from pluripotent cells, most often presenting in the testicle or the ovary.
Blastoma: This category of cancers are derived from immature "predecessor" cells or embryonic tissue. Blastomas are more common in children than in older adults.

Causes of Cancer

Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to the DNA within cells. The DNA inside a cell contains a set of instructions guiding the cell how to grow and divide. Any disruption in the instructions may allow a cell to become cancerous.

A gene mutation can instruct a healthy cell to:

Allow rapid growth. As cells grow and divide more rapidly, this creates many new cells that all have that same mutation.
Fail to stop uncontrolled cell growth. Normal cells know when to stop growing, so that you have just the right number of each type of cell. Cancer cells lose the control (tumor suppressor genes) that tell them when to stop growing. A alteration in a tumor suppressor gene allows cancer cells to continue growing.
Making mistakes when repairing DNA errors. DNA repair genes, look for errors in a cell's DNA and make required corrections. A mutation in a DNA repair gene may mean that other errors are not corrected, leading cells to become cancerous.

These mutations are the most common ones found in cancer. But many other gene mutations can contribute to causing cancer.

What Is Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia?

Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow — the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made.

The word “acute" in acute lymphocytic leukemia comes from the fact that the disease progresses rapidly and creates immature blood cells, rather than mature ones. The word “lymphocytic" in acute lymphocytic leukemia refers to the white blood cells called lymphocytes, which ALL affects. Acute lymphocytic leukemia is also known as acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Acute lymphocytic leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children, and treatments result in a good chance for a cure. Acute lymphocytic leukemia can also occur in adults, though the chance of a cure is greatly reduced.

Low Cost Herniated Disc Surgery India | Surgery Tours India

What Is herniated Disk Surgery?

A herniated disk is the problem with one of the disks that act as cushions between individual vertebrae that comprises to make the spine. A spinal disk has a soft center encased within a tough exterior. A herniated disk occurs when some of the soft part pushes out through a crack in the tougher exterior. A Spinal Disk Herniation can irritate adjacent nerves and cause pain, numbness or weakness in an arm or leg. Some people also experience no symptoms from a herniated disk, and most people who have a herniated disk don't need surgery to rectify the problem.

Symptoms of a Herniated Disc?

Not all herniated disc patients have symptoms

When a slipped disc presses against the spinal nerves, the person feels pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
The pressure the herniated disc on the spinal nerves determines how bad the symptoms will be.
Otherwise harmless actions like laughing, coughing, sneezing, urinating, or even straining while defecating can worsen the pain caused due to a herniated disc.

Most slipped discs cause back and leg pain

Acute pain radiates through the disc to the buttocks and down the leg to the foot. It is called sciatica.
Intense pain below the knee is a common of a bulging disc, since other spine problems don't usually cause pain below the knee.
A herniated lower disc can weaken the legs and cause trouble lifting the front of foot off the ground.

Herniated discs also occur in the neck

They cause pain in one arm, beginning with the armpit and upper shoulder blade and travelling down the arm to one or two fingers.
The discomfort can also be felt in the upper middle back and be mistaken for other conditions. The muscles in the arm weaken making it hard to move the fingers.
Pressure on nerves at the bottom of the spinal cord can cause loss of bladder or bowel control, both the signs of severe nerve pressure.
These symptoms, or loss of muscle function in the leg, are signs of a medical urgency. In rare cases, a ruptured disc in the neck can cause complete paralysis.

Bone Marrow Transplant Surgery India With BMT Abroad

What is Bone Marrow?

Red Blood Cells: which carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
White Blood Cells: which fight infection.
Platelets: which are responsible for the formation of clots.

What is a Bone Marrow Transplant?

Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) is a special therapy for patients with certain cancers or other diseases. A Bone marrow transplant involves taking cells that are normally found in the bone marrow (stem cells), filtering those cells, and giving them back either to the donor (patient) or to another person. The goal of BMT is to transfuse healthy bone marrow cells into a person after his or her own unhealthy bone marrow has been treated to kill the abnormal cells.

A bone marrow transplant, also called a stem cell transplant, is a treatment for some types of cancer. For example, you might have one if you have leukemia, multiple myeloma, or some types of lymphoma. Doctors also treat some blood diseases with stem cell transplants.

What Diseases can be treated by Bone Marrow Transplant?

A bone marrow transplant, also called a blood stem cell transplant or BMT, can treat many diseases. For some diseases, BMT is the only potential cure. There are over 70 diseases that can be treated by BMT. Some of them are listed here.

Patients undergo transplant for a wide variety of malignant and non-malignant conditions including:

Malignant conditions

Hematologic Malignancies

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)
Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Solid Tumors

Neuroblastoma

VSD Closure Surgery in India | Surgery Tours India

What is VSD (ventricular septal defect)?

A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a type of birth defect (congenital condition) which results in the development of a hole in the wall separating the two lower chambers (ventricular chambers) of the heart. This wall of membranous tissue and inferior muscles is known as the ventricular septum and the hole is more commonly seen in the membranous portion of the septum (chamber wall).

What are the signs and symptoms of a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)?

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is mostly a congenital (birth) defect that is seen in infants around a few weeks after birth.

Some of the signs and symptoms seen in a developing VSD include pansystolic murmur in the lower left sterna border, troubled blood flow, irregular heartbeat as well as pulmonary hypertension as a result of increase in the blood flow. Eisenmenger's syndrome may also be caused which results in the pressure to increase in the pulmonary vascular bed.

The cause of most cases of VSD is related to a pre-existence of Down syndrome which increases the risk even further of developing VSD. In case the child suffers from a myocardial infarction (heart attack) which causes the septal wall to tear and the scar tissue forms because the macrophages are unable to repair the dead tissues.

What is the Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) closure procedure?

Many cases where the septal wall develops a smaller sized hole do not need to be treated as it repairs itself after a few years without causing adverse affects in the meanwhile.

Surgical intervention procedure is required in case of VSDs when:

Medications fail to treat congestive cardiac failure.
Pulmonic stenosis is caused due to VSD.
Pulmonary hypertension occurs due to a larger sized VSD.
Aortic regurgitation is seen as a result of VSD.
