The common bile duct is responsible for carrying bile from the liver to the small intestine. Often, this pathway can get blocked, which is why surgery is performed to remove such blockages in the duct. It is also known as choledochotomy.

For many people, unwanted body hair can be a persistent problem. Methods such as shaving, waxing, and plucking, are temporary and can often be time-consuming and uncomfortable. Laser hair removal surgery offers a more permanent solution to this problem.

Laser hair removal surgery is a cosmetic procedure that uses targeted laser energy to remove unwanted hair. The procedure involves directing concentrated light into hair follicles, which inhibits their ability to grow new hair. The laser selectively targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles, keeping the surrounding skin unharmed. As a result, laser hair removal surgery provides long-lasting hair reduction or removal.

When oral health is neglected, the gums are the first to be affected. Untreated gum disease weakens the structure that holds the tooth in place, a condition called periodontitis. Periodontal flap surgery is indicated if periodontitis does not respond to non-surgical treatment options such as scaling (teeth cleaning) and root planing.

Periodontal flap surgery is the best treatment of choice for periodontal pockets. These pockets are formed when the gums detach from the adjacent teeth, exposing the tooth's root surface and sometimes bone. If left untreated, the resulting area can host food particles, bacteria and infections.

The gums may show signs of inflammation such as redness, swelling, bleeding on probing, and sensitivity to hot and cold.

Flap surgery is not a cure for periodontal disease, but it removes plaque from uncleanable zones, treats receded gums, and restores aesthetics. Additionally, it creates an environment that makes it easier for the patient to maintain periodontal health. Appropriate professional treatment and regular care at home can help keep the teeth and gums healthy for as long as possible.

Skin brightening chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that improve the appearance of the skin by reducing hyperpigmentation, the appearance of dark spots, and other skin discolouration issues. These peels involve the use of a chemical solution, which exfoliates the top layer to reveal brighter, more even-toned skin.

Hyperpigmentation refers to the darkening of some areas of the skin caused by an overproduction of melanin. It is caused by a variety of factors, like sun damage, acne, hormonal changes, and aging. Chemical peels help reduce hyperpigmentation by exfoliating the skin and promoting cell turnover.

Childhood immunisations are a series of vaccines given to children from infancy to early adolescence to protect them against serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses. immunisations are some of the most effective public health interventions, preventing millions of deaths each year worldwide. Childhood immunisations protect against infectious diseases that can have serious consequences, including disability and death. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight certain pathogens, like bacteria or viruses. By vaccinating children, we not only protect them but also prevent the spread of infectious diseases within communities and populations.

Bile duct surgery is a medical procedure that involves removing or reconstructing the bile ducts, which are the tubes that transport bile from the liver to the small intestine. The surgery may be necessary if a stone, blockage, injury, or cancer affects the bile ducts.
