Obstetrics And Gynaecology (OBG) Interventions

Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OBG) Intervention in Bhubaneswar

Interventional Radiology has brought a lot of advancements in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OBG) interventions. Maintaining women’s health during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum is of utmost importance. Women undergo a lot of complications and gynaecological issues throughout their lives, making advanced techniques like minimally invasive treatment options crucial for a faster recovery. Interventional Radiology employs imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT, or MRI scans to guide procedures for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of various gynaecological and obstetric conditions. These procedures involve small incisions and are thus preferred over other complex interventions and open surgeries. 

Obstetrics and Gynaecological Intervention in Bhubaneswar using Interventional Radiology can be used for managing and treating various conditions related to women’s reproductive health. These interventions are less invasive, require a shorter recovery time, and lead to less pain and fewer complications. Interventional Radiology techniques can also help in fertility treatments, enhancing patients' quality of life.

FAQ's

Interventional Radiology techniques can help in treating many women-related disorders, such as:

  • Postpartum haemorrhage

  • Ectopic pregnancy

  • Uterine fibroids

  • Pelvic venous congestion syndrome

  • Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia

  • Gynaecological malignancy

  • Blocked fallopian tubes

  • Adenomyosis

  • Placenta accreta spectrum 

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding

  • Pelvic tumours and vascular malformations

Various minimally invasive techniques can be performed under imaging guidance, which includes vascular and non-vascular interventions. The most common procedures are:

  • Uterine Artery Embolisation: Used for treating uterine fibroids and adenomyosis.

  • Fallopian Tube Recanalisation: Used for opening blocked fallopian tubes in women experiencing infertility.

  • Pelvic Arterial Embolisation: Helps in controlling bleeding due to severe postpartum haemorrhage.

  • Ovarian Vein Embolisation: For treating pelvic venous congestion syndrome.

  • Treatment and Management of Ectopic Pregnancy

  • Drainage procedures for tubo-ovarian abscesses, postoperative complications, and ascites.

  • Thermal Ablation for gynaecological malignancy

  • Image-guided Biopsies to collect tissue samples from reproductive organs for diagnostic purposes.

A Biopsy procedure is recommended in the following cases:

  • To confirm the cases of cancer, as it helps in differentiating between the cancerous and noncancerous cells

  • To determine conditions like infections or inflammatory diseases

  • Investigate any abnormal findings from other simple diagnostic tests

  • Accurate diagnosis of the location of the tumour with imaging guidance

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of ongoing cancer or other treatments

  • Obtain detailed information regarding the cells under investigation 

The Drainage procedure is carried out under the following circumstances.

  • Treating or preventing infections by draining abscesses and infected fluid collections, like in acute pancreatitis

  • As part of an additional procedure before Sclerotherapy

  • To confirm the presence of infection by detailed analysis

  • Managing chronic conditions that lead to fluid buildup, such as liver or kidney diseases

  • Alleviate symptoms like swelling, pain, or pressure caused by fluid accumulation in the body

Radiology-guided OBG interventions offer various benefits, such as:

  • Minimally invasive procedure involving smaller incisions

  • Carry fewer risks and complications

  • Reduced recovery time

  • Less pain

  • Fewer hospital stays, as most of them are done on an outpatient basis

  • Treat multiple conditions affecting women’s health

Though these OBG procedures are safe and effective with low risks, they still pose potential risks like:

  • Infection

  • Bleeding 

  • Allergic reaction

  • Unintended damage to non-target areas

  • Post-procedural pain and discomfort 

  • Bruising and swelling at the insertion site

Interventional Radiology helps in diagnosing and treating various medical conditions using imaging techniques that guide the radiologist to the appropriate location without the need for major surgeries, as these can be done using catheters or wires from outside the body. Imaging techniques play a significant role as they provide real-time visualisation and guidance during the procedure, resulting in precise results. These techniques also help in minimising risks and improving overall patient outcomes. 

Common imaging techniques used in OBG interventions include:

  • Ultrasound: This is most commonly used in OBG interventions and provides real-time imaging for various procedures.

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): This helps in providing high-resolution images and is most often used for planning procedures and assessing treatment outcomes.

  • Computed Tomography (CT): This offers cross-sectional images for complex procedures and helps in finding precise locations for treatment.

  • Fluoroscopy: This technique is most commonly used for providing continuous X-ray imaging for guiding small procedures using the catheter.

Interventional radiologists are specialists trained in using imaging techniques for minimally invasive and targeted treatments. They work in collaboration with obstetricians and gynaecologists.

Everyone cannot be the right candidate for an OBG intervention procedure using Interventional Radiology. The doctor will determine whether this procedure is right for your condition. You will need to undergo a thorough medical evaluation by an obstetrician-gynaecologist and interventional radiologist who will review your medical history, perform necessary tests and imaging studies, and discuss your symptoms. Other factors will also be considered, such as the severity of the condition, the specific condition you are suffering from, your overall health, and your preference. Before proceeding with the procedure, your doctor will make you understand its benefits and risks, which will help you and your doctor make an informed and appropriate decision.

The recovery after an Interventional radiology OBG procedure will depend on the specific procedure performed and your overall health. The recovery is generally quicker with these procedures compared to traditional methods. Since they are typically performed as outpatient procedures, you can return home the same day. To manage pain, you will be given pain medications after the procedure. For a faster recovery, you will be advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few days but can continue light activities within a day or two. Our doctors ensure you recover well by providing specific post-operative guidelines and follow-up appointment details.

Interventional Radiology has significantly improved the effectiveness of OBG interventions for treating various obstetrics and gynaecological conditions. These show high success rates in reducing fibroid size, alleviating symptoms, controlling postpartum haemorrhage, improving fertility, and resolving ectopic pregnancy. The effectiveness of these OBG procedures will depend on various factors, such as your overall health, your specific medical condition, and the skill and expertise of an interventional radiologist.
