An Optical Urethrotomy is a procedure for opening up a stricture (narrowing) in the urethra (water pipe).
Nephrectomy for Kidney Cancer
Nephrectomy means the removal of some or all of the kidneys and can be a surgical cure when cancer has not spread out of the kidney.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious types of cancer. The type of treatment the patient receive for lung cancer depends on several factors, including:
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP)
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of obstructing prostate tissue using a laser, followed by the temporary insertion of a catheter to help the bladder drain normally.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a treatment that uses very powerful sound waves to heat and destroys cancer cells in the prostate.
Green Laser Light Prostatectomy
It is an operation that uses a laser to remove excess tissue in the central part of your prostate gland. The laser uses concentrated light to generate precise and intense heat which vaporises the tissue.
Cyberknife Cancer Therapy
CyberKnife is a specialised robotic radiotherapy system which uses real-time tracking capabilities to deliver high-dose radiation to tumours(cancers) with pin-point accuracy.
Conformal Radiotherapy
Conformal radiotherapy is a type of radiotherapy in which the beams are shaped specifically to individual tumour sites, and organs that are not being treated, but are radiosensitive, are shielded from the radiation, for example, heart or lungs in a breast treatment or a rectum in a prostate treatment.
Breast Cancer/Breast Radiation Therapy
After surgery for breast cancer, there remains a risk of a recurrence of the cancer in the breast over subsequent years, even when the surgeon has completely removed the cancer that can be seen. Giving a course of radiotherapy after surgery reduces this risk.
Brain Tumor Surgery
Surgery can be the treatment of various types of brain tumours. The primary aim of brain tumour surgery is to remove as much of the tumour as safely as possible without damaging the surrounding brain tissue.
Brachytherapy
Prostate brachytherapy (internal or interstitial radiotherapy) is a form of radiotherapy where the radiation dose is delivered inside the prostate gland to treat prostate cancer with the intention of curing it.
Bone Marrow Transplant
A stem cell or bone marrow transplant can be a mode of treatment for conditions in which the bone marrow is damaged and no longer able to produce healthy blood cells, such as leukaemia and lymphoma.
Valvular Heart Surgery
Valvular heart surgery/ heart valve surgery is a procedure that involves replacing a damaged valve with a new one (made from synthetic materials or animal tissue) or repairing the existing valve if it does not have significant damage.
Pacemaker Surgery
Pacemakers are sometimes recommended for people with conditions that cause the heart to beat abnormally.
Mitral Valve Repair
Mitral valve repair is a surgical procedure to make the flaps of the mitral valve stay closer together. This will help stop blood from flowing the wrong way through the valve.
Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD)
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a device similar to a pacemaker, which is usually placed under the skin below your collarbone.
Electrophysiology Study (EPS) with Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
An Electrophysiological Study (EPS) is a test that looks at the electrical activity of the heart, allowing the doctor to diagnose and analyse fast or abnormal heart rhythms. It is able to give more detailed information than an external electrocardiogram (ECG).
Coronary/Heart Bypass (CABG)
A Coronary/Heart Bypass or Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is a surgical procedure used to treat coronary heart disease.
Coronary Angiography
Coronary angiography is a type of x-ray to check the heart and nearby blood vessels.
Coronary Angioplasty
Coronary angioplasty with stenting OR Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a treatment used to widen and open up narrowed or blocked arteries supplying your heart muscle.
Angioplasty with Stent Implantation
Coronary angioplasty with stenting OR Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a treatment used to widen and open up narrowed or blocked arteries supplying your heart muscle.
Vasectomy Reversal
Reversal of a vasectomy is a procedure that involves (one way or another) removal or bypassing of the vas deferens occlusion, thus allowing the transport of sperm from the testicle into the urethra.
Tubal Ligation
Also known as operative occlusion of the fallopian tubes or laparoscopic sterilisation is a procedure (done in females) to prevent pregnancy permanently.
Tubal Ligation Reversal
Tubal ligation reversal is a surgical procedure that involves the reconstruction of the fallopian tubes in women (who had sterilisation done previously). It involves removing the blocked part of the fallopian tube and re-joining the ends.
Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)
Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) is one of the techniques of retrieving sperm from the testicles for fertilisation to assist conception for couples where the male partner suffers from azoospermia (a lack of measurable sperm in the male’s semen).
IVF+ Surrogacy
Sometimes, the infertile couple needs a surrogate to have their baby. Surrogacy is when a woman carries a baby for a couple who cannot conceive or carry a child themselves for medical or physical reasons.
Sperm Freezing
Also known as sperm storage/sperm cryopreservation is a way of helping men safeguard their fertility by storing their sperm at extremely low temperatures.
Ovarian Cortex Freezing
Also known as ovarian tissue freezing/cryopreservation is a procedure to store/freeze the ovarian tissue (e.g., cortex that carries immature eggs) to protect future fertility.
Laparoscopic Surgery for Gynaecological Purposes
Laparoscopy (also known as keyhole surgery) is a minimal invasive surgical procedure used for both the diagnosis and treatment of various gynaecological health problems, such as:
IVF
IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is one of the popular fertility procedures/techniques to have a baby by couples with infertility due to various reasons.
