A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a lightweight pump that helps restore normal blood flow in patients whose hearts are weakened by cardiac disease. It is used to sustain cardiac function in those with end-stage heart failure or as a bridge to heart transplants.

Left Ventricular Assisted Device (LVAD) is designed to improve survival and quality of life of patients with end-stage heart failure. Today’s LVADs are lightweight and smaller than earlier models, so you’ll most likely to be able to move around fairly easily. An LVAD restores normal blood flow to a person whose heart has been weakened by heart disease.

The device does not replace the heart rather it is a rescue for patients whose heart is so weak not able to sustain the blood pressure and vital functions of body or as bridge to heart transplant. LVAD has increased the survival rates of patients and more importantly improves the quality of life in certain subset of patients; however, there can be some risks like stroke, infection and bleeding.

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) Surgery is a highly concentrated, heated chemotherapy treatment that is delivered directly to the abdomen during surgery. The procedure treats tumors in the abdominal (peritoneal) lining that stem from colon, gastric, ovarian, appendix tumors, mesothelioma and other cancers.

Unlike systemic chemotherapy delivery, HIPEC delivers chemotherapy directly to cancer cells in the abdomen. This allows for higher doses of cancer chemotherapy treatment. Heating the solution may also improve the absorption of chemotherapy drugs and destroy the miscroscopic cancer cells that can remain the abdomen after surgery. The operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts for about 6-9 hours depending on its complexity.

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) treats advanced stage abdominal cancers, including appendiceal (appendix) cancer, colorectal cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, peritoneal mesothelioma, ovarian and stomach cancer. It is a highly concentrated, heated chemotherapy treatment that is delivered directly to the abdomen during surgery.

When a patient's kidneys cannot filter and remove waste, kidney transplants are performed. The buildup of this waste can increase pressure and result in kidney failure. Often, people receiving kidney transplants receive only one and receiving two kidneys is rare. Kidney transplants are an option for those with end-stage renal disease.

The prostate is an important reproductive gland in men that produces seminal fluids and helps transport semen. The urethra is surrounded by the prostate, hence enlargement of this gland may cause urinary obstruction over time. It usually occurs in older men and is not necessarily associated with prostate cancer. Enlarged prostate surgery can offer relief from urinary symptoms and improve overall quality of life.

ACL is also known as Anterior Cruciate Ligament, which refers to an injury in this specific ligament that runs diagonally across the middle of your knee. The major role of this ligament is to protect the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur and also aids in rotational knee stability. During an ACL injury, other cartilage and ligaments that are surrounding it are also affected. In most cases, the tear is partial but there are many causes of a complete tear as well.

This is one of the most common injuries to the knee and is often experienced by people involved in serious sports activities. Specifically, basketball, soccer, and football athletes are the ones who face this knee injury. In fact, it is more frequent in women majorly because of the difference in physical conditioning, muscular strength, and neuromuscular control.

A non-cancerous form of tumor, Acoustic Neuroma occurs when nerves connecting your inner ear to the brain are affected. We all have our healthy nerves that are covered by many layers of cells known as Schwann cells that usually functions like a plastic or rubber coating on electric wires. They provide support for nerve impulses but when they start multiplying in number, it may lead to Acoustic Neuroma. Owing to this cause, it is also known as vestibular schwannomas or neurilemmoma. It has the disease to grow slowly over years and does not directly invade the brain. However, it has the tendency to push on as it is in the growing stage. As a result, it can press the cranial nerves that control sensation and facial expression. Tumor with a big size has the potential to press on cerebellum or brain stem and in many cases; it turns out to be deadly.
