[read more]A kidney is one of the most important organs as it removes all the extra fluid and waste from the body. It is our kidneys that maintain a balance of minerals, salt and water. It is also true that no human being can live without a kidney and if waste is not removed from the body, it can lead to severe diseases.
Our Approach to Nephrology Patients
Kidneys need urgent care and treatment when they are completely damaged and can’t perform their functions properly. The problem starts with minor damage and if that isn’t treated on time, both the kidneys will get damaged and may stop working completely. If you see any symptoms related to a kidney, your doctor may recommend you to see a kidney specialist which is a Nephrologist. They are experts in diagnosing and treating all kidney diseases. They will do some tests, investigations and may be able to diagnose the problem. After diagnosing the exact kidney issue, they will then decide the appropriate treatment to slow or stop the damage.

Treatment and Services
There are various eye disorders and disease that need treatments. Some of these disorders are:
It is a common health condition that affects a lot of people. Kidney stones are formed when the minerals and other particles present in the blood change into crystals and form solid masses called stones. These stones exit from the body during urination but sometimes the large stones need surgery to remove them.
It is a condition when bacteria infects some part of the urinary system. Such infections in the urethra and bladder are commonly seen. These infections can be treated easily but if they are left untreated, they can spread in the kidneys and result in kidney failure.
It is a condition in which the glomeruli gets inflamed by some drugs, infections, or congenital abnormalities. Glomeruli are small structures inside a kidney that filters the blood. This condition gets better on its own in most cases, but sometimes one may need to visit a nephrologist for a treatment.
It is a genetic disorder in which a number of cysts, fluid sacs, starts to grow in the kidney. These cysts can disturb the kidney functions and can cause damage to it. If the condition is left untreated, these cysts can result in a kidney failure.
It is a serious kidney condition in which a kidney loses its ability to perform its functions. Certain acute and chronic kidney diseases can lead to kidney failure over time. After a kidney failure, the kidney can no longer filter waste from the blood. Kidney failure needs urgent and proper treatment on time.
Department Of General Laparoscopic Surgery
All About General Laparoscopic Surgery
It is a minimally invasive surgery and a low-risk surgery that only requires small incisions to perform the surgery. Through these small incisions, a surgeon can examine and look at the organs by using a device called a laparoscope.
The first thing that comes in our mind after hearing the word surgery is pain, blood and wounds. But, don’t worry, not all the surgeries are painful and involves blood loss. Thanks to the advancement in the medical science that laparoscopy surgeries came in.
During a laparoscopy surgery, a surgeon makes a small incision near the belly button. Through this incision, he inserts a laparoscope, with the help of which high-resolution images can be seen on the video monitor. The incisions made cause no pain and very less blood loss. The images that are formed helps a surgeon to know about the exact underlying problem.
Laparoscopy has many benefits over open surgery in cases like splenectomy, cholecystectomy and esophageal surgery. It is a completely safe and quick surgery in which deep tissue heals within two months. The patient gets discharged on the same day sometimes and even the scars heal quickly.
Laparoscopic Procedures
- 1. Hernia Surgery - Hernia is a condition in which any organ or any tissue protrudes or bulge through the abdominal wall. A hernia is of many types, but the most common type is the abdomen or groin. It can be seen when the organ or tissue bulges out of the skin and the area swells. A hernia also results in pain. Now in the need of a surgery, technology like laparoscopy has eliminated the need of making big incisions and doing open surgery. With the help of laparoscopic surgery, a hernia can be treated with small incisions.
- 2. Appendectomy - It is a surgical procedure to remove an infected appendix. Appendicitis is a condition in which the appendix gets infected because of some viral infection in the digestive tract. Now, with the help of laparoscopic surgery, a number of incisions are made and with the help of some instruments, the infected appendix is removed.
- 3. Anti-Reflux Surgery - It is a surgery that is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease. This is a surgery used in cases when medicines don't work. In this surgery, small incisions are made and an effective valve mechanism is used at the bottom of the esophagus. This surgery prevents the acid reflux from flowing up from the stomach to the esophagus.
- 4. Gallbladder Removal - A gallbladder produces bile to absorb the food nutrients. When a small crystal becomes enlarged, they can block the flow of bile juice and result in gallbladder diseases. With the help of laparoscopic surgery, a gallbladder can be removed with inserting small tools through a single incision.
