Topics about Medical Procedures
  • CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY
  • Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a surgical procedure in which one or more blocked coronary arteries are bypassed by a blood vessel graft to restore normal blood flow to the heart. These grafts usually come from the patient's own arteries and veins located in the leg, arm, or chest.
  • CORONARY STENTING
  • A coronary stent is an artificial support device used in the coronary artery to keep the vessel open.
  • CRANIOTOMY
  • Surgical removal of part of the skull to expose the brain.
  • CYSTECTOMY
  • Cystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the bladder.
  • DIALYSIS, KIDNEY
  • Dialysis treatment replaces the function of the kidneys, which normally serve as the body's natural filtration system. Through the use of a blood filter and a chemical solution known as dialysate, the treatment removes waste products and excess fluids from the bloodstream, while maintaining the proper chemical balance of the blood. There are two types of dialysis treatment: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
  • EAR SURGERY
  • Ear surgery is the treatment of diseases, injuries, or deformations of the ear by operation with instruments.
  • ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION
  • Electrical nerve stimulation, also called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), is a noninvasive, drug-free pain management technique. By sending electrical signals to underlying nerves, the battery-powered TENS device can relieve a wide range of chronic and acute pain.
  • ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF THE BRAIN
  • Electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB) is a relatively new technique used to treat chronic pain and tremors associated with Parkinson disease. ESB is administered by passing an electrical current through an electrode implanted in the brain.
