Biliary Interventions

Biliary interventions treat blockages, narrowing and/or injury of the passages between the liver, gallbladder and small intestine called bile ducts. Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder where it can be released into the small intestine to aid in digestion. If the bile ducts become blocked, it may lead to inflammation or infection also known as cholecystitis. Biliary interventions may remove gallstones, drain excess bile or place a stent within a bile duct to treat your condition and restore the flow of fluids.

Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy

An ultrasound-guided breast biopsy uses sound waves to help locate a lump or abnormality and remove a tissue sample for examination under a microscope. It is less invasive than surgical biopsy, leaves little to no scarring and does not involve exposure to ionizing radiation.

Tell your doctor about any recent illnesses or medical conditions and whether you have any allergies, especially to anesthesia. Discuss any medications you’re taking, including herbal supplements and aspirin. You will be advised to stop taking aspirin or blood thinner three days before your procedure. Leave jewelry at home and wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to wear a gown. If you are to be sedated, plan to have someone drive you home afterward.

Varicose veins definite treatment by RF

Varicose veins definite treatment by RF

Our specialists treated varicose veins definitively through a less invasive method by RF in more than 1000 patients.

When patients look at their feet they find some prominent vessels and there is skin discoloration, In later stages of the disease there will be edema and even ulcerations in ankle which indicate the advanced stage of varicose disease.

 The disease is usually hereditary but is also very common in people who do their jobs mostly in upright position and while they are standing.

Earlier methods of varicose veins treatement mostly were extraction of defective veins through surgery which was associated to many complications including pain, bleeding, skin changes, anesthesia complications, and long recovery period.

Interventional Radiology

"Interventional Radiology" (IR) refers to a range of techniques which rely on the use radiological image guidance (X-ray fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography [CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) to precisely target therapy. Most IR treatments are minimally invasive alternatives to open and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. As many IR procedures start with passing a needle through the skin to the target it is sometimes called pinhole surgery!

Prostate Biopsy

A prostate gland biopsy is a test to remove small samples of prostatetissue to be examined under a microscope. For a prostate biopsy, a thin needle is inserted through the rectum(transrectal biopsy), through the urethra, or through the area between the anus and scrotum (perineum). A transrectal biopsy is the most common method used. The tissue samples taken during the biopsy are examined for cancer cells. A biopsy may be done when a blood test shows a high level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or after a digital rectal examination finds an abnormal prostate or a lump.
