The 640-slice CT scanner is the ultimate testament to the application of modern technology in medical sciences. It has emerged as the most powerful tool to diagnose cardiovascular disease, the cause of one in four deaths due to non-communicable diseases. The 640 Slice CT Scanner makes non-invasive precise assessment possible for many specialities such as Cardiology, Neurology, Oncology, Gastroenterology and Paediatrics.

The new Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS), a non metallic mesh tube that is used to treat a narrowed artery, is similar to a stent, but slowly dissolves once the blocked artery can function naturally again and stays open on its own. Similar to a small mesh tube, BVS is designed to help open up a blocked artery in the heart and restore blood flow to the heart muscle. BVS gradually dissolves once the artery can stay open on its own, potentially allowing the blood vessel to function naturally again.

You’ve just been diagnosed with a condition requiring surgery. Until very recently your options included traditional surgery with a large open incision or laparoscopy, which uses small incisions but is typically limited to very simple procedures.

Thanks to a breakthrough surgical technology, there is a new category of minimally invasive surgery for which you may be a candidate. It is an effective, minimally invasive alternative to both open surgery and laparoscopy. Through the use of the da Vinci^® Surgical System, surgeons are now able to offer a minimally invasive option for complex surgical procedures.

Imagine major surgery performed through the smallest of incisions. Imagine having the benefits of a definitive treatment but with the potential for significantly less pain, a shorter hospital stay, faster return to normal daily activities – as well as the potential for better clinical outcomes.

The robotic system works in conjunction with your surgeon’s skilled hands to attain precise positioning of implants.

As one of the most advanced cancer treatment options available, Novalis Tx™ radiosurgery & radiotherapy is changing the face of cancer treatment, and has already helped thousands of people continue to go to work, spend time with family and friends, take part in their favourite activities, while fighting cancer. It has several advantages, they are :

OCT – Optical Coherence Tomography is a light-based catheter which acquires on an image (photo) inside the heart blood vessel. OCT is a recently-developed, catheter-based Intravascular Imaging Technology that provides micron-scale resolution. It is a laser light equivalent of ultrasound imaging, measuring the intensity of backscattered infrared light rather than sound waves, and translates these optical echoes into a high-resolution, two-dimensional tomographic image. OCT has the highest imaging resolution of any currently-available technology. Cross-sectional resolutions of catheter-based OCT systems are in the range of 10-20 µm.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition characterized by numbness, pain, and discomfort in the hand, often accompanied by tingling, burning sensations, weakness in hand grip, or persistent pain. It occurs due to the gradual compression of the median nerve by surrounding structures within the carpal tunnel of the wrist, leading to nerve entrapment symptoms. These symptoms typically affect the thumb, index, and middle fingers, although the pain can sometimes radiate up to the shoulders.

Approximately one in five individuals experiencing these symptoms may be diagnosed with CTS following a thorough clinical examination, imaging, and electrophysiologic (nerve conduction) studies. If left untreated, CTS can lead to permanent nerve damage, resulting in constant numbness and muscle wasting in the hand, particularly affecting thumb movements.

CTS can affect both hands, although symptoms may be more pronounced on one side. In the early stages, symptoms are often intermittent and tend to occur at night, likely due to the flexed position of the wrist during sleep. The numbness can be intense enough to disrupt sleep.

Non-surgical treatment options include the use of night splints, steroid injections, and oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications. However, in acute cases, surgery may be the only viable option. The procedure, performed under local anesthesia, typically lasts no more than 30 minutes, with mild sedation helping to expedite the process.

Using an endoscopic technique with the assistance of a video monitor and a Smart Release device, the surgeon precisely cuts the transverse carpal ligament from underneath, avoiding a large incision on the palm. The retractable blade is then withdrawn, and the less-than-1 cm incision is closed with absorbable sutures.

The result is a small, cosmetically acceptable scar hidden within the wrist crease. Patients can typically return to work within eight days or even sooner.

This procedure is available at Apollo Speciality Hospitals.
