Hand surgery is a specialised field of medicine that deals with the treatment of injuries, disorders, and diseases affecting the hand, wrist, and forearm. The goal of hand surgery is to restore the function and appearance of the hand, enabling patients to perform daily tasks and improve their quality of life. Hand surgery requires a high level of skill and expertise, as the structures and functions of the hand are complex and delicate.

An Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD), also known as an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), is a medical device that is used to monitor and treat abnormal heart rhythms, particularly life-threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. The AICD is an essential device in the management of cardiac arrhythmias, providing rapid and potentially life-saving interventions when necessary.

Elbow replacement surgery, also known as total elbow arthroplasty, is a specialised procedure performed to restore function and relieve pain in severely damaged elbow joints. It is typically required for patients suffering from advanced arthritis, severe fractures, or conditions that have led to joint deterioration. This surgery demands exceptional precision and expertise to ensure optimal mobility and long-term success.

Splenectomy is the surgical removal of the spleen, which is an important organ of the human body. The spleen is located on the left side of the upper abdomen, right below the ribcage. The major functions of the spleen include storage and filtration of blood and synthesis of leukocytes (White Blood Cells) that help in fighting against infections. Another important function of the spleen is helping to get rid of aged or damaged erythrocytes (Red Blood Corpuscles), and that is exactly why it is also known as the "Graveyard of RBC".

While it plays an important role in the human body, a ruptured spleen can prove fatal and requires immediate removal. The spleen can get damaged due to various reasons, primarily​ abdominal injury. Other conditions include splenomegaly (enlargement of the spleen), cancerous situations, blood disorders, sepsis, the presence of benign tumours or cysts, and many others. The abdominal injury can be due to a stab injury or any other traumatic condition.

Laser lithotripsy or Laser surgery for stone removal is a minimally invasive procedure used to break down and remove stones in the urinary tract. It involves using laser energy to fragment the stones into smaller pieces, which pass through natural urine flow.

Types of Laser Surgery for Stone Removal

There are two major types of laser surgery for stone removal:

Flexible Ureteroscopy with Laser Lithotripsy: Flexible ureteroscopy involves passing a thin, flexible tube (ureteroscope) through the urinary tract to reach the stone. The ureteroscope has a laser fibre attached to it, which emits laser energy to break down the stone.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with Laser Lithotripsy: PCNL involves creating a small incision in the back and inserting a hollow tube (nephroscope) directly into the kidney to access and remove the stone. Laser energy is then used to fragment the stone, allowing for its removal. This procedure is usually reserved for larger stones or cases where other treatments have been ineffective.

Pericardiocentesis is a procedure that removes fluid building up in the sac around the heart, an area called the pericardium. It is done using a needle and a tiny catheter to drain the excess fluid.

The fibrous sac surrounding the heart called the pericardium, is made of two thin layers. The layers are filled with fluid that reduces friction between them as they rub against each other when the heart beats. However, when too much fluid builds up between these two layers, the condition is called pericardial effusion. In these conditions, the normal functioning of the heart is affected. Pericardiocentesis is then required to drain the fluid and prevent future build-up of fluid.

Robotic surgery is a new way to treat hernias. Using robotic arms is better than the usual laparoscopic methods because the robot can move more easily. This helps the surgeon do tricky things like repairs and stitches inside the body very carefully and without much trouble. Also, the robot lets the surgeon see the inside of the belly in 3D and high-definition.

Appendix surgery, also known as appendectomy, is a surgical procedure performed to remove the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine. This procedure is commonly done when the appendix becomes inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis, which can be painful and potentially life-threatening.
