Orthognathic surgery is a surgical procedure to treat problems related to jaws. The jaw can be broadly classified into the upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible). The upper jaw is responsible for shaping the middle face, while the lower jaw moves to open or close the mouth for speaking or eating. The lower jaw also provides shape to the chin and lower face. However, there may be irregularities of the bones in some cases, which can affect essential functions like sleeping, talking, chewing, or following a daily routine.

Orthognathic surgery is performed to correct such abnormal jaw relationships. The surgery is also known as corrective jaw surgery and is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. In addition, orthognathic surgery can sometimes correct aesthetic issues like a congenital disability, unbalanced facial appearance, or more.

Robotic prostatectomy, also known as robotic radical prostatectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a surgical robot to remove the prostate gland. The prostate gland is situated in the male pelvis below the urinary bladder and surrounds the urethra. This surgery is done for the treatment of localised prostate cancer.

The minimally invasive robot-assisted prostatectomy surgery can result in shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery as compared to traditional prostatectomy. During the process, the surgeon uses a special robotic machine to perform the surgery using a control panel in the operating room to move the robotic arms and operate through small incisions. This surgery does not require any big cuts, and the whole procedure is carried out through just four small holes.

Dental surgery refers to a range of procedures involving the teeth, gums, and jawbone. These procedures are performed by a dentist or oral surgeon and address a variety of dental issues, including decay, infection, injury, and malformation. The goal of dental surgery is to restore oral

health and function and to improve the overall appearance of the mouth and teeth.

A craniotomy is a procedure in which a segment of the skull bone is removed to access the brain. After the surgery, this segment is replaced with either a bone graft or a bone flap.

This surgery is performed to remove aneurysms and brain tumours or to excise brain tumours surgically. In addition, in cases of trauma or injury, there are chances of swelling developing intracranially; to prevent that, a craniotomy may be performed. The surgery is performed by an experienced neurosurgeon.

In some cases, the patient is kept awake to monitor brain function, while in others, they are sedated. For instance, if the surgery is to be performed in areas of the brain that controls movement, vision or speech, patients are kept awake to monitor brain function. This ensures that the surgeon is treating the right area of the brain. In addition, it lowers the risk of developing speech, movement or vision impairment.

Immunotherapy is used to treat cancer. It assists the immune system in fighting cancer cells in the body. In addition, the immune system helps the body fight infections and other diseases. It comprises white blood cells, organs, and lymph system tissues. Immunotherapy is a biological therapy that utilises products derived from living organisms to treat cancer. The immune system comprises several organs, tissues, and cells that work together to protect the body from foreign invaders that can cause disease.

When a disease or infection-causing agent, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, enters the body, the immune system tries to eliminate the invaders. This self-defence system works to keep a person from falling ill. Immunotherapy uses substances made naturally or artificially in a lab to boost the immune system. It functions to:

Stop the growth of cancer cells

Stop the spread of cancer cells

Killing cancer cells more efficiently

The immune cells produce cytokines, which are protein molecules. They are introduced into the body through immunotherapy to stimulate the immune system and make it simpler for the immune cells to identify and target the cancer cells.

Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment that removes waste and toxins from a person's blood when their kidneys can't function adequately.

In peritoneal dialysis, the dialysis fluid is passed through a catheter into the patient's abdomen. The lining of the abdomen, known as the peritoneum, functions as a filter and removes the waste from the blood. After the process is completed, the fluid, along with the filtered waste, flows out through the abdomen.

The Whipple procedure, also termed pancreaticoduodenectomy, is the primary surgical treatment for pancreatic cancer that occurs within the head of the pancreas. During this procedure, surgeons detach the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, a part of the bile duct, the distal stomach, the gallbladder, and associated lymph nodes. On average, the surgery takes about six hours. Most patients are required to remain in the hospital under observation for 7-10 days following Whipple’s procedure.

Total laparoscopic hysterectomy is a keyhole surgical procedure where the uterus and cervix are removed using a keyhole (laparoscopic) technique through the vagina. Along with the uterus and cervix, the ovaries, fallopian tubes and pelvic lymph nodes may be removed if indicated. The removal of ovaries, depending on the age, may induce menopause.
