PROCEDURES

PHYSICIANS

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Coronary bypass surgery is open-heart surgery to improve blood flow by creating a new path to re-route blood and oxygen around a clogged artery or arteries. Healthy arteries and veins from other parts of the body (often a vein from the leg) are attached to the coronary artery above and below the blocked area, allowing blood to bypass the clog or diseased area to reach the heart muscle. If more than one artery is blocked, more bypass grafts are required.

Gastric Bypass

Gastric bypass surgery makes the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass part of the small intestine. You will feel full more quickly than when your stomach was its original size, which reduces the amount of food you eat and thus the calories consumed. Bypassing part of the intestine also results in fewer calories being absorbed.

Heart Valve Replacement

Heart valve surgery is performed to replace heart valves that are not functioning properly. The four heart valves control the blood flow between the four chambers of the heart.

Hip Replacement Hip Arthroplasty

Total hip joint replacement involves surgical removal of the diseased ball and socket and replacing them with a metal ball and stem inserted into the femur bone and an artificial plastic cup socket.

Hip Resurfacing Surface Replacement Arthroplasty

Hip Resurfacing, or Surface Replacement Arthroplasty, is a bone-saving and effective alternative to conventional Total Hip Replacement Surgery. This procedure, recently approved by the FDA, will allow a patient to lead a normal lifestyle, as compared to the restrictions that are usually imposed after Hip Replacement Surgery.

Knee Replacement Knee Arthroplasty

Knee replacement surgery can be performed as a partial or a total knee replacement. In general, the surgery consists of replacing the diseased or damaged joint surfaces of the knee with metal and plastic components shaped to allow continued motion of the knee.

Lap Band Surgery Gastric Banding

A gastric band device is introduced through tiny (1cm) incisions in the abdomen and is placed around the upper part of the stomach. The resulting pouch (or the "new stomach") dramatically reduces the functional capacity of the stomach. The band has a balloon from the inside that is adjustable and can reduce stoma size, thus prolonging the period of fullness. For an article on Bariatric procedudures overseas, click here.
