Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is a set of procedures, that include Sleeve Gastrectomy (removing a large portion of the stomach) or Gastric Bypass, aimed at the treatment of morbid obesity and its related conditions like type 2 diabetes by reducing the stomach capacity or altering nutrient absorption. These are minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures, which significantly facilitate sustained weight loss and improved metabolism in patients with a higher BMI. (40 or a BMI or 35 with comorbidities).
The Techniques are either restrictive (limiting food intake), malabsorptive (reducing nutrient absorption), or a combination of both.
These procedures are generally, administered for individuals with a BMI
40, or BMI 35-39.9 with serious obesity-related health problems (e.g., heart disease, sleep apnea, uncontrolled diabetes), where the other methods have not yielded results.
Cardiology is the medical specialisation that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ailments of the heart, blood vessels, and circulatory system, such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure.
It manages conditions through medical treatment, lifestyle changes, and specialized tests like echocardiograms and electrophysiology.
Key Branches of Cardiology:
• Interventional Cardiology: Minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures, including stenting, angioplasty, and structural heart repairs.
• Electrophysiology: Treatment of heart rhythm issues and electrical system abnormalities, including pacemaker implantation and radio-frequency ablations.
• Preventive Cardiology: Focuses on reducing risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol.
• Congenital Heart Disease: Management of structural defects present at birth.
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure for the restoration of the function of a joint wherein the treatment is beyond treatments like medication or physical therapy. It involves the replacing, remodelling, or realigning the articular surface of a joint, by implanting an artificial component called prosthesis, which is made of materials like metal, plastic, or ceramic.
