Obstetrics And Gynaecology Interventions in Broadway

Manipal Hospitals, Broadway, Kolkata is among the leading hospitals for performing intervention procedures in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Over the last several decades, Interventional Radiology has become more and more important to women's health; in fact, its growth and development have recently increased. Interventional Radiology plays a critical role in the care of several illnesses affecting women, such as adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and pelvic venous disease, as well as in the postpartum period. As the use of Interventional Radiology in treating patients with these disorders has increased, so too have patient workup, categorisation, and treatment methods. To provide the greatest clinical outcomes for our patients, Manipal Hospitals' team of highly qualified gynaecologists, nurses, technologists, and interventional radiologists collaborates. We recognise the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for underlying ailments of women’s health, especially for pregnant women to ensure good health for both the mother and the foetus. At Manipal Hospitals, we are dedicated to providing you with the best Obstetrics and Gynaecology Interventions and the finest diagnosis possible to support you on your path to well-being.

 

FAQ's

Interventional radiologists diagnose and treat various medical conditions using minimally invasive procedures. They use small tools, such as catheters and wires, along with imaging techniques like CT, ultrasound, and X-rays for precise diagnosis and treatment. Interventional radiology can often substitute for surgery, potentially reducing the need for hospital stays. These specialists perform procedures such as percutaneous drainage of postoperative collections and tubo-ovarian abscesses. Additionally, interventional radiology is effective in treating conditions related to early pregnancy, such as ectopic pregnancy and prenatal trophoblastic disease, and can be beneficial for patients with gynaecological malignancies.
 

The gynaecological conditions treated by the use of Interventional Radiology are:

  • Uterine fibroid embolization: Shrinking fibroids in the uterus to relieve symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pain
  • Uterine artery embolization for postpartum haemorrhage
  • Gonadal vein embolization for pelvic congestion syndrome
  • Mediport insertion
  • Nephrostomy tube and ureteral stent insertion
  • Spinal epidural steroid injection
  • Peg Tube (feeding tube) Insertion
     

Preparation may include fasting before the procedure and adjusting medications as advised by your healthcare provider. Inform your doctor about any allergies or medical conditions. Arrange for transportation home if sedation is used during the procedure.
 

The duration of the procedures varies depending on the specific condition being treated. Most minimally invasive procedures can be completed within one to two hours.
 

Patients may experience some discomfort during and after the procedure, but pain is usually minimal. Local anaesthesia and sedation are commonly used to ensure patient comfort.
 

Recovery time varies, but many patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days to a week. Your doctor will provide specific recommendations based on the procedure and your situation.
 

OBG Interventions are generally highly successful in treating various gynaecological conditions, offering significant symptom relief and improved quality of life. Your interventional radiologist will discuss the expected outcomes based on your specific condition.
 

Surprisingly, there might also be a significant chance of negative effects. These include:

  • Bleeding
  • Hemostasis or abnormal clotting
  • Pseudoaneurysm (an injury to the blood vessel wall)

The following is typically how Uterine Artery Embolisation (UAE) is carried out:

  • At the point where your leg and pelvis connect, a very little incision (cut) is created. Your leg's artery is used to place a catheter.
  • The uterine arteries, which provide the uterus with blood, are where the catheter is inserted.
  • Through the catheter, little pieces of plastic or gelatin are inserted into the arteries. Particles obstruct the fibroids' blood supply. The particles adhere to the wall of the vessels. This results in the formation of a clot that cuts off the blood supply to the fibroid.
  • UAE is often performed by a physician known as an interventional radiologist. Most of the time, it may be completed as an outpatient operation. There is local anaesthetic and sedation administered.
     

UAE may lessen the pressure, discomfort, and bleeding caused due to fibroids. It doesn't hurt as much as a hysterectomy does. Abdominal scar tissue from previous surgery does not impair UAE, which can treat several fibroids simultaneously. Additional benefits of UAE usually involve:

  • Requires spending less time in the hospital
  • Lets you resume your job and other activities more quickly.
  • Less possibility of a requirement for blood transfusion
     

Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a potentially fatal birth-related condition of great concern. Interventional Radiology has made it possible to treat and prevent PPH with Transcatheter Arterial Embolisation and Uterine Artery Embolisation. These minimally invasive techniques involve inserting a balloon or embolic substance into the uterine or internal iliac arteries to halt the bleeding. For women who are known to have placental anomalies and are more likely to experience haemorrhaging, these methods can also be utilised as a prophylactic measure. 
 

For pelvic congestion syndrome, there are several therapeutic choices. Your gynaecologist may recommend hormonal therapy to lessen varicose vein congestion and blood flow. Minimally invasive treatments, such as nonsurgical embolisation (deliberate plugging) of the varicose veins, may be explored if these prove futile. In this outpatient surgery, an interventional radiologist uses X-ray guidance to guide a tiny catheter (plastic tube) to the problem location after inserting it into a central vein in the upper arm, shoulder, or thigh. There is no need for cuts or sutures, and during this process, there is no feeling inside. To provide comfort and relaxation, intravenous medicine is the only necessary treatment.
 

Interventional Radiology (IR) provides effective treatments for fertility-related issues, particularly for those involving fallopian tube obstructions and varicoceles.

For women, the primary cause of infertility is often a fallopian tube obstruction, which prevents conception. Selective salpingography is a nonsurgical IR technique that uses a catheter to diagnose and treat these blockages effectively.

For men, fertility issues can stem from varicoceles—enlarged, painful veins that affect reproductive health. IR offers varicocele embolization, a highly successful and minimally invasive procedure to treat symptomatic varicoceles, improving fertility outcomes without surgery.

Indeed. A range of methods are employed by interventional radiologists to treat cancer. These include irreversible electroporation (punching holes in tumours with electric currents), embolisation (cutting off a tumour's blood supply or targeting it with chemotherapy or radiation), and ablation (burning or freezing a tumour). In addition to having additional advantages like shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times, IR procedures are particularly helpful for individuals who are not fit for conventional surgery.
