KEY AREAS OF FOCUS

HERNIA SURGERY

A hernia occurs when an internal tissue or organ pushes through a weak hole in the muscles. Hernia surgery, also known as hernioplasty, is used to repair a hernia by repositioning the displaced organs and reinforcing the muscles. Hernia surgery is a type of repair procedure in which a synthetic mesh is placed over the weak tissues.

The advanced treatment options lower the risk of hernia recurrence and improve overall patient outcomes. Our surgeons offer nearly every type of treatment for every type of hernia. We use minimally invasive 4-K technology to achieve high precision repairs of hernias with durability and safety.

THYROID CLINIC

  • Thyroid diseases are amongst the most common of all diseases of the endocrine system. Thyroid gland located in the neck produces thyroxin which regulates the metabolism of the body. Low production of thyroxin (hypothyroidism) can cause weight gain, dry skin, irregular periods, low pulse, infertility, fatigue and high cholesterol levels. Increased production of thyroid hormones due to an overactive thyroid gland can produce weight loss, sweating, palpitations, anxiety and prominent eyes.

COMMON THYROID PROBLEMS TREATED ARE

  • Hypothyroidism: autoimmunity is the most common cause. Other causes include iodine deficiency, surgery and radiation
  • Hyperthyroidism: most commonly due to Graves’ disease which is autoimmune in origin. Other causes include toxic nodular goiter and autonomous thyroid nodule
  • Thyroid nodules: it can be benign nodules or malignant nodules like papillary cancers
  • Thyroiditis: this can be painful sub-acute thyroiditis or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
  • Thyroid diseases in pregnancy

BREAST CLINIC

ANATOMY OF THE BREAST

  • Breast is a tissue overlying the chest muscles in women. It is also known as mammary glands, which are a pair of glandular organs that are responsible to produce milk in response to the hormone changes of childbirth. These glands are made up of fatty tissue and are supported by ligaments and large muscles.
  • Each breast has 15-20 lobes which comprise the number of lobules and ducts supportive tissue. Each lobule has 30 major ducts that open onto the nipple. The darker region around the nipple is called the Areola. At the edge of the Areola, there are large glands that produce fluid to lubricate the nipple.
  • In each armpit, there are approximately 20-30 lymph nodes (glands) that drain fluid from the breast and form part of the lymphatic system which helps the body to fight against infection.

BENIGN BREAST DISEASES

  • The term “Benign Breast Diseases” includes a heterogeneous group of lesions that may present various symptoms or may not be identified as incidental microscopic findings. The incidence of benign breast lesions begins to rise during the second decade of life and peaks within fourth and fifth decades, as opposed to malignant diseases, for which the incidence continues to increase after menopause at a less speedy pace.
  • It is important to understand the benign breast disease which requires sequential steps are necessary to differentiate lesions that convey the high risk of subsequent breast cancer from those which do not

BREAST INFECTIONS

  • A breast infection is a type of infection that occurs within the breast tissue. It is also known as mastitis. Staphylococcus auras bacteria are the cause of most breast diseases, which is further causing staph infection.
  • Acute Mastitis is a bacterial infection which is seen commonly in the postpartum period. Bacteria occupy the breast through small erosions in a lactating woman’s nipple and result in an abscess.
  • Breast Abscess is a localized collection of pus in the breast tissue, caused by a bacterial infection.
  • Chronic Mastitis is a type of infection which occurs in women who are not breastfeeding. In postmenopausal women, breast infections are related to chronic inflammation of the ducts below the nipple.
  • Hormonal changes in the body can cause the milk ducts to become clogged with dead skin cells and debris. These clogged ducts will make the breast more open to bacterial infection, which tends to return after antibiotics.

RISK FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER

  • Age, Early menstrual period, Genetics, Family history, Personal history of breast cancer, Personal history of certain non-cancerous breast diseases, Race ethnicity, Obese, Pregnancy history, dense breasts, Drinking alcohol, use of combination hormone therapy and previous treatment using radiation therapy.
