A hair transplant can improve the appearance and self-confidence in people who are balding. This procedure cannot create new hair. It can only move the hair you already have to the areas that are bald.
Most people who have a hair transplant have male or female pattern baldness. Hair loss is on the front or top of the scalp. You must still have thick hair on the back or sides of the scalp to have enough hair follicles to move. In some cases, people with hair loss from lupus, injuries, or other medical problems are treated with a hair transplant.
IVF helps people with infertility who want to have a baby. Couples often try other fertility treatments first. These may include taking fertility drugs or having intrauterine insemination. During that procedure, a doctor transfers sperm directly into a woman’s uterus.
Parents may also choose IVF if they run the risk of passing a genetic disorder on to their offspring. A medical lab can test the embryos for genetic abnormalities. Then, a doctor only implants embryos without genetic defects.
The recovery of organs, tissue and eyes is a surgical procedure performed by trained medical professionals.
Organ donation is the process of surgically removing an organ or tissue from one person (the organ donor) and placing it into another person (the recipient). Transplantation is necessary because the recipient’s organ has failed or has been damaged by disease or injury.
People of all ages should consider themselves potential donors. When a person dies, they are evaluated for donor suitability based on their medical history and age. The organ procurement organization determines medical suitability for donation.
Heart diseases are among the most common diseases in the world, and some of them can only be treated surgically by highly skilled doctors.
Most of the heart diseases seen in childhood are congenital and include structural disorders, and most of them can only be treated surgically. These operations are usually performed in the first year of life. In addition, heart valve diseases, large vessel diseases, some coronary artery diseases and heart tumors in adults may also require surgery.
Cardiovascular surgery is a very difficult and complex process. It matters who touches your heart.
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often is diagnosed in adolescents. While scoliosis can occur in people with conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most childhood scoliosis is unknown.
Most cases of scoliosis are mild, but some curves worsen as children grow. Severe scoliosis can be disabling. An especially severe spinal curve can reduce the amount of space within the chest, making it difficult for the lungs to function properly.
Children who have mild scoliosis are monitored closely, usually with X-rays, to see if the curve is getting worse. In many cases, no treatment is necessary. Some children will need to wear a brace to stop the curve from worsening. Others may need surgery to straighten severe curves.
Leg length discrepancy (Limb Length Discrepancy), also known as anisomelia, in which two limbs are of unequal lengths. Most people have some degree of leg length discrepancy, but larger differences can affect well-being and quality of life by keeping you from participating in the activities you like.
Leg length discrepancy has many causes. Various genetic or childhood diseases can cause severely short stature or unequal height in the arms or legs.
Post-traumatic fractures and other traumatic injuries to the bone may heal incorrectly, causing one leg to be shorter than the other. And also both bone tumors and the treatments designed to eradicate them can affect bone growth. This is especially true if the illness happens in infancy.
Limb lengthening is an orthopedic surgery performed to lengthen the bones in the arms and legs, usually for therapeutic purposes and sometimes for aesthetic reasons, in individuals whose growth plates have closed, and it can be performed from the age of 3-4 years. This procedure allows lengthening up to 10 cm.
Plastic surgery can be broadly classified as reconstructive or cosmetic (aesthetic) surgery, depending primarily on whether it is performed to restore function and alter physical appearance.
Reconstructive plastic surgery is a treatment used to heal dysfunctional body parts. It is primarily used to restore function, although it can also change the appearance of the individual. Some examples of reconstructive surgery are surgeries for cleft palate, burns, nerve injuries, amputations, skin cancers, and tissue transplantation.
Cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, techniques, and principles are often focused on improving the patient’s appearance. Improving aesthetic appeal, symmetry and proportion are key goals. Some examples of aesthetic surgery are Brazilian Ass, Facial Fat Grafting, Brow Lift, Cheek Implants, Neck Lift, Rhinoplasty(nose reshaping), Otoplasty(Ear reshaping), Face Lift, Breast Augmentation/Reduction/Lift, Liposuction.
There is no limit to how many teeth can be replaced in a healthy mouth. Not every tooth requires an implant, if one or several teeth need replacing, a bridge between implants is recommended.
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone in place of a lost tooth or teeth, this merges with the bony tissue to serve as a natural tooth root. Titanium used in implants is considered a tissue-friendly material by the body. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia without the patient feeling any discomfort.
Box technique is a newly developed technique for guided bone regeneration and prevention of further bone loss in teeth. The bone is formed by using materials like polylactide (acid-soluble) that dissolve in the mouth and are entirely compatible with the tissues without the need to take any more bone from the patient, making it highly biocompatible and safe.
Polylactide acid is popularly used in neurosurgery and maxillofacial surgeries. Box technique helps create an area to place bone powders, which will help the bone be placed in the treated area. With the walls placed around the bone, the bone material is placed in the desired area.
The shell technique is a typical method for hard tissue augmentation. The concept of the shell technique relies on the preparation of a biological container, which creates the necessary space for the full incorporation of the particulate bone graft material. This technique is useful for patients that need dental implants but do not have suitable area.

By getting a regular check-up done, one can assess how healthy they are.
Detection of potentially life-threatening health conditions or diseases at an early stage reduces the risk of undergoing surgeries and other chronic medical conditions.
Increases chances for treatment and cure. Regular check-ups help doctors in the diagnosis of disease early, which makes the treatment more effective.
Reduction in risks and complications by close monitoring of existing medical conditions – for example, if one does a routine check-up of sugar and cholesterol, they will know how likely they are to develop diabetes or cholesterol in the future.
Overtime, it reduces healthcare costs as, through timely check-ups, one can avoid costly medical services.
It helps in developing a good partnership with a doctor, which is beneficial as treatment becomes more efficient – one gets to know the doctor and his/her ways of treatment.
It is a good way to stay updated on new medical information or technologies that are available.
In minimally invasive surgery, surgeons use a variety of techniques to operate with less injury to the body than with open surgery. The advantages of minimally invasive operating techniques are less pain, better cosmetic results, fast recovery after an operation and earlier return to routine life.
