Paediatric Image Guided Surgery / Paediatric Radiological Intervention Surgery

Paediatric Image Guided Surgery in Bangalore

Image-Guided Surgery (IGS) is a system that uses preoperative imaging to guide surgical instruments to their targets. Images are generally obtained from Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), fluoroscopy, or ultrasound. IGS can be used for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

Paediatric image-guided surgery is a rapidly evolving field that offers the potential to improve the safety and efficacy of surgical procedures in children. IGS can be used to guide procedures such as biopsies, needle aspirates, and drainage catheters. IGS can also be used to assist in the placement of implants and other devices. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.

Pre-procedure

There are a few things that need to happen before a paediatric image guided surgery or radiological intervention surgery can take place. First, the child must be prepared for the procedure. This usually includes fasting for a certain period of time before the surgery, as well as taking a mild sedative to help them relax.

Next, the surgical team will need to obtain high quality imaging of the child's anatomy. This is typically done using either MRI or CT scans. Once the images are obtained, the team will use them to plan the surgery.

Procedure 

The first step in IGS is to create a three-dimensional image of the target area. This can be done with a variety of different imaging modalities, including CT, MRI, and PET scans. Once the image is created, a surgeon will use special software to plan the surgery. This software allows the surgeon to see the exact location of the tumour and plan the best way to reach it. Visit Manipal Hospitals for paediatric surgery treatment in Bangalore for the best treatment

During the surgery, the surgeon will be able to see the image on a monitor and use special instruments to guide their instruments to the precise location of the tumour. In some cases, a surgeon may even be able to control the instruments remotely, using a joystick or other device. Once the tumour is reached, the surgeon can then remove it or perform other necessary procedures.

Post-procedure 

After a paediatric image guided surgery or paediatric radiological intervention surgery, the child will be taken to the recovery room where they will be closely monitored. Once the child is awake and alert, they will be taken to their hospital room. It is important to keep the area where the incision was made clean and dry. The child may shower 48 hours after the surgery. The child will be given pain medication as needed. The child will be seen by the surgeon in follow-up appointments.
