Orthopaedic Surgery

orthopedic-surgery-medicity-kharghar

The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery focuses on patient care in each of these orthopaedic subspecialties: reconstruction and joint replacement, sports medicine, spine surgery, surgery of the hand and wrist, surgery of the shoulder and elbow, surgery of the foot and ankle, musculoskeletal tumor surgery, orthopaedic trauma Surgery, pediatric orthopaedics, and physical medicine and rehabilitation.

 

There are several conditions which may lead to the need for knee replacement, arthritis (whether it be osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or traumatic arthritis) is the most common reason..

 

Various reasons a patient may need surgical intervention to treat his or her back or neck pain. :

  • TO TAKE PRESSURE OFF OF NERVES : Some conditions, including a disc herniation or spinal stenosis, compress the nerves within the spinal column which can lead to pain, tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, and other more severe symptoms.
  • TO STABILIZE AN UNSTABLE SPINEn: We see unstable spines in a lot of conditions including spinal fractures, spondylolisthesis, and even sometimes an extreme disc injury. This is best achieved by fusing the unstable parts of the spine through an ALIF, PLIF, or Lateral Interbody Fusion.
  • TO REALIGN A CROOKED SPINE : Some conditions, including scoliosis, kyphosis, and flat-back syndrome, affect the natural curvature of the spine and result in various impairments.

Q.   What is a total hip replacement?

A.   A total hip replacement is an operation that removes the arthritic ball of the upper thigh bone (femur) as well as damaged cartilage from the hip socket.

Q.   Am I too old for hip-replacement surgery?

A.  Age is not a problem if you are in reasonable health and have the desire to continue living a productive, active life.

Q.   What is arthritis and why does my knee hurt?

A.  In the knee joint, there is a layer of smooth cartilage on the lower end of the femur (thighbone), the upper end of the tibia (shinbone) and the undersurface of the kneecap (patella). Arthritis is a wearing away of this smooth cartilage. Rubbing of bone against bone causes pain, swelling and stiffness.

Q.   What are the results of total knee replacement?

A.  Knee-replacement surgery has a high rate of success in eliminating pain and restoring range of motion.

Microscopic Surgery

microscopic-surgery-medicity-kharghar

Microsurgery is performed on very small structures, such as blood vessels and nerves, with specialized instruments under a microscope.
Microsurgical procedures are performed on parts of the body that are best visualized under a microscope. Examples of such structures are small blood vessels, nerves, and tubes. Today, microsurgery can be lifesaving. Neurosurgeons can treat vascular abnormalities found in the brain, and cancerous tumours can be removed.

 

A number of specialties can collaborate to treat patients who have limbs or other body parts; under certain circumstances, amputated parts can be reattached, or another body part can be replanted in the place of one lost. a patient may suffer from a chronic condition or wound, and microsurgery can be scheduled as an elective procedure. It is important that the patient inform the doctor completely about any prior surgeries, medical conditions, or medications taken on a regular basis, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin.

 

Microsurgery uses techniques that have been performed by surgeons since the early twentieth century, such as blood vessel repair and organ transplantation, but under conditions that make traditional vascular surgery difficult or impossible.
Most microsurgical procedures utilize a set of basic techniques that must be mastered by the surgeon. These include :

  • BLOOD VESSEL REPAIR - Blood vessel, or vascular anastomosis, is the connection of two cut or separate blood vessels to form a continuous channel. Anastomoses may be end-to-end (between two cut ends of a blood vessel) or end-to-side (a connection of one cut end of a blood vessel to the wall of another vessel).
  • VEIN GRAFTING - ein grafting is an alternative procedure to end-to-end anastomosis and may be pursued if cut ends of a blood vessel cannot be attached without tension.

Neonatology

neonatology-medicity-kharghar

Whether you anticipated your child’s stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or it was unexpected, having a newborn with urgent medical needs can be a stressful and overwhelming experience for any parent. At Kharghar Medicity, we strive to provide the best care for your baby while also delivering well-rounded support to you and your growing family.

 

The condition is caused by immaturity of the lungs, especially lack of surfactant production. The absence of surfactant, which normally reduces the surface tension in the lungs, leads to collapse. It can occur in term infants, especially infants of diabetic mothers, though this is rare. As well as lacking surfactant the lungs of premature babies are underdeveloped.

 

 
 
 
 

Our specialists will consult with you to ensure that you are prepared and informed about every decision you make for your baby’s health.We are leading the way with a focused neurocritical care initiative aimed at safeguarding infant brain health.

 

Q.   What is incubator?

A.   An incubator is an apparatus used to maintain environmental conditions suitable for a neonate (newborn baby). It is used in preterm births or for some ill full-term babies.

Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU)

iccu-2

The Intensive Care Unit (ICCU) is a unit in the hospital where seriously ill patients are cared for by specially trained staff. The ICCU staff includes doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, clinical nurse specialists, pharmacists, physical therapists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dietitians, social workers, and chaplains.

 

 

Care in the ICCU differs from other hospital units.

  • Seriously ill patients require close observation and monitoring. Specially trained nurses care for one or two patients at a time, each shift. ICCU doctors are specially trained critical care doctors.
  • Patients may have special equipment in their room, depending on their unique situation and condition. The equipment in the ICCU may seem overwhelming. Patients are connected to machines to monitor their heart, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. Ventilators (breathing machines) assist some patients with breathing until they are able to breathe on their own.
  •  
 
 
 
 
 
 

Patients are admitted to the ICCU for a variety of reasons. Some patients need close monitoring immediately after a major surgical operation or serious head injury. Others may have problems with their lungs that require ventilator support with breathing. Patients may have heart and blood vessel problems (for example, very low or very high blood pressure, a heart attack, or an unstable heart rhythm) needing observation. Patients in the ICCU may have an imbalance in the level of chemicals, salts, or minerals in their bloodstream that require close monitoring as these levels are corrected. Also, patients may have a serious infection in their bodies that require specialized ICCU care.

 
 

Q.   What is the ICCU?

A.   The Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU) is a unit in the hospital where seriously ill patients are cared for by specially trained staff.

Physiotherapy

physiotherapy-medicity-kharghar

Physiotherapy is a health care profession with an emphasis on the use of physical approaches for the promotion of health and the prevention, treatment and management of disease and disability. It addresses problems with movement, dysfunction and pain. These can arise from musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, and chronic disability conditions, or from mental illness and intellectual impairment.

 
 

Physiotherapy will help any individual with problems affecting the level of functionality of the musculo-skeletal system. This therapy specializes in the fields of sports and physical fitness. Our patients can expect to improve their balance, their endurance, their strength and their coordination, which will help them stay active every day.

 

The process involves maximizing the functional potential of an individual with disease, dysfunction or injury & also facilitates health promotion, lifestyle modification & fitness training. Staff work closely with medical, nursing and other allied health staff. Goals are achieved through comprehensive assessment with individualised treatment combining education, continuous support, home exercise programmes and advice.

In addition to clinical practice, other activities encompassed in the physical therapy profession include research, education, consultation, and administration. Physical therapy services may be provided alongside, or in conjunction with, other medical services.

Q.   How long will my treatment be?

A.   The length of your appointment will vary depending on your situation. Initial appointments can take about 45 minutes, subsequent visits +/- 30 minutes. It will consist of an assessment, treatment, education and exercise program.

Q.   Do I have to be over a certain age to be treated by a physiotherapist?

A.   No. We treat clients of all ages.

Dermatology - Skin Treatment

skin-medicity-kharghar

Skin disorders vary greatly in symptoms and severity. They can be temporary or permament, and may be painless or painful. Some have situational causes, while others may be genetic. Some skin conditions are minor, and others can be life-threatening.

 

 
 

Numerous health conditions and lifestyle factors can also lead to the development of certain skin disorders. Common known causes of skin disorders include:

  • bacteria trapped in skin pores and hair follicles
  • a weakened immune system
  • contact with allergens, irritants, or another person’s infected skin
  • genetic factors
  • illnesses affecting the thyroid, immune system, kidneys, and other body systems
 

Not all skin disorders respond to treatment. Some conditions go away without treatment. People with permanent skin conditions often go through periods of severe symptoms. Sometimes, people are able to force incurable conditions into remission. However, most skin conditions reappear due to certain triggers, such as stress or illness. Common treatment methods for skin conditions include:

  • medicated creams and ointments
  • laser therapy
  • antihistamines
  • antibiotics

In addition to clinical practice, other activities encompassed in the physical therapy profession include research, education, consultation, and administration. Physical therapy services may be provided alongside, or in conjunction with, other medical services.

Q.   What is stem cell therapy?

A.   Stem cell therapy is the process of isolating adult stem cells from abdominal fat and reintroducing them into the body where they can do the most good.

Q.   How long does the liposuction take?

A.   The “mini” liposuction only takes about 20 minutes. Once the fat has been extracted, the patient can relax or sleep while the stem cells are isolated.

Q.   Am I going to have scars?

A.   You may have small “punch” incision marks that look similar but smaller than small laparoscopy sites. They usually heal with minimal scarring.

Rheumatologists

rheumatology-medicity-kharghar

Rheumatologists diagnose and treat inflammatory diseases that affect muscles, joints and connective tissues. These complex conditions, which include juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, are called rheumatic diseases. Many other conditions may begin with bone and joint pain, and rheumatologists can help diagnose these and make sure your child gets the right care.

 

Rheumatic diseases are caused by a combination of genes and environmental factors. In general, having certain gene variants can increase a person's susceptibility to rheumatic diseases, and factors in the environment may trigger the onset of the disease. Studies suggest that people with certain variations of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes — which help control immune responses — have an increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. In these people, the disease may develop due to some kind of triggering event, such as hormonal spikes, infections from bacteria or viruses, or obesity.

People who suffer from arthritis can’t wait for a cure. Our team offers improved access to help find relief as soon as possible via the many new therapies now available. We provide care to adult rheumatology patients along with a full infusion service delivering state-of-the-art biologic therapies and intravenous osteoporosis medication, also available for outside referrals.

 

Q.   What do Rheumatologists treat?

A.   Rheumatologists are specially trained to deal with different arthritic conditions, autoimmune disorders, metabolic bone diseases and soft tissue rheumatic conditions.

 

Vaccination & Immunization

vaccination-medicity-kharghar

Our bodies are vulnerable to infections from many bacteria and viruses. Because of that we have many natural defenses, collectively called the "immune system", designed to fight infections. It is possible to induce immunity with a vaccine made from components of the infecting bug or the toxin (biochemical poisons) that some bacteria produce, which will prevent future infections with the natural, full-strength bug.

  •  
 

If we don’t maintain optimum rates of immunization or “herd immunity”, the diseases prevented by vaccination will return. While better hygiene, sanitation and clean water help protect people from infectious diseases, many infections can spread regardless of how clean we are. If people are not vaccinated, diseases that have become uncommon such as pertussis (whooping cough), polio and measles, will quickly reappear.

 

Vaccines work most of the time, but not always. Most childhood vaccinations work between 90% and 100% of the time. Sometimes, though, a child may not respond to certain vaccines, for reasons that aren’t entirely understood. They are very safe. But like any medicine, they are not perfect. They can cause reactions. Usually these are mild, like a sore arm or slightfever. Serious reactions are very uncommon.

 

 

Q.   Are vaccines safe?

A.   Vaccines are safe. Any licensed vaccine is rigorously tested across multiple phases of trials before it is approved for use, and regularly reassessed once it is on the market.

Q.   Do vaccines provide better immunity than natural infections?

A.   Vaccines interact with the immune system to produce an immune response similar to that produced by the natural infection, but they do not cause the disease or put the immunized person at risk of its potential complications.
