Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, has an experienced staff and a skilled set of practitioners. There are several facilities, diagnostic procedures, and treatment plans that are well known at the Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, such as: • Gallbladder Surgery • Management of high-risk pregnancies • Cardiac Device Implantation • Brain Tumor • Laparoscopic  Hernia Surgery • Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery •  GALLBLADDER SURGERY   The gallbladder lies very close to the liver and is responsible for the storage and secretion of bile. Bile is essential for the absorption of lipids and fats from the gut. If the flow of bile gets hindered for any reason, it usually starts forming bile stones. These stones cause many problems in the digestion process, leading to excruciating pain. It can also become fatal if the gallbladder ruptures. Therefore, it is essential to perform surgery and remove it. Surgeons at the Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, are highly experienced in diagnosing the problem after a series of diagnostic tests such as an ERCP and an abdominal ultrasound to check the gallbladder's condition. They make sure to manage the condition first with medications if the stone formation is minimal. Otherwise, they remove the gallbladder to protect the patient from serious health risks through their experienced hands.   •  MANAGEMENT OF HIGH-RISK PREGNANCY Any pregnancy with complications is considered high-risk. It can either be due to the mother having high blood pressure, diabetes, or any other underlying cause. Gynecologists at the Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, make sure to evaluate every pregnant woman to prevent any significant complications before the baby's birth. They send out diagnostic tests such as fasting blood sugar and HbA1c levels to test for diabetes. Expectant mothers with raised glucose levels are then given insulin to manage their conditions. Likewise, high blood pressure is also controlled with proper observation and pregnancy-safe medications. Moreover, any other condition that may lead to pregnancy complications is carefully diagnosed and treated successfully to save both the mother and the baby.   • Cardiac Device Implantation The incidence of cardiac problems is increasing at an alarming rate. It has become essential to diagnose heart issues when someone presents with chest pain, shortness of breath, or pain radiating to the arm. Doctors at the Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, immediately get the patient's ECG done to look for any abnormalities in the cardiac activity. After that, patients with problems in the conduction system are often treated with cardiac device implantation. This device helps in generating a pacemaker current, which corrects any abnormal heart rhythm.   • BRAIN TUMOR The management of any person suffering from a brain tumor is very challenging. It is often misdiagnosed and not caught early due to the complex nature of its presentation. This is why expert neurologists at the Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, perform a complete neurological exam on every patient with such complaints to make an accurate diagnosis. They then use multiple diagnostic techniques to confirm their suspicions. With the state-of-the-art CT scan, PET scan, and MRI machines available at Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket helps pick out lesions effectively. Sometimes it becomes necessary to get a spinal tap done to rule out any infections or meningitis cases. An EEG is also performed to rule out any other causes of neurological symptoms. After that, such patients then have to undergo many radiotherapy and chemotherapy sessions for the effective treatment of brain tumors.   • Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery Many times, patients present with an unusual swelling on their bodies. Any physician needs to diagnose this condition and begin its treatment. These swellings can cause pain and become very uncomfortable for the patient. A hernia is one of those conditions in which there is an outpouring of the organs through any space in the body. This requires surgical repair and a herniotomy. Surgeons at the Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, carefully diagnose this condition by performing several tests. A strangulated hernia needs emergency surgical treatment; otherwise, part of the gut can perforate. Doctors at the Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, are very diligent about their approach. Hernias are repaired through a laparoscopic approach, in which an incision is made at the hernia site. The skilled doctors at the Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, make sure that during their surgical procedure, they use mesh to avoid the recurrence of hernias in the same patient.    •  CERVICAL DISC REPLACEMENT SURGERY People who complain of numbness, weakness, or pain in the neck region sometimes have damaged cervical discs, resulting in nerve compression accompanied by a lot of pain. An ultra-modern myelogram efficiently evaluates any patient who comes with such complaints at the Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket. This diagnostic test is usually enough to diagnose the conditions requiring cervical disc replacement. After making a careful and accurate diagnosis, their surgeons carry out cervical disc replacement surgery to treat the nerve compression and damaged cervical discs. They carry out this procedure with careful monitoring of the patient's vitals throughout the process. That is why their surgery results in a complete and safe recovery for the patient with zero health and medical risks. FEATURED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES TrueBeam Linac with Exactrac The traditional aim of radiation therapy is to increase the cure rate with minimal toxicity. To achieve this aim, various techniques have been developed in the recent past, such as DCRT, IMRT, and IGRT. A new method has been recently developed in which the treatment can be delivered with minimal harm to normal tissues. This technology is known as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). The difference between the two techniques is that in SRS, the total dose is delivered in one fraction, whereas in SRT, the total dose is delivered in 5–10 fractions. The biggest advantage of this technique is that the total treatment time is reduced from 7-8 weeks to 1-2 days or 1-2 weeks, thereby causing a considerable increase in patient comfort and compliance. The other major advantage is that the daily treatments are given with sub-millimeter precision, so the toxicity to the various organs at risk is negligible. These intracranial and extracranial techniques are practiced on the latest generation of linear accelerators, which have stereotactic treatments and imaging facilities where even moving tumors such as those in the liver, pancreas, and lung can be targeted. The newer indications for radical radiation now include T1 and T2 lung tumors, carcinomas of the pancreas, and liver tumors. Recently, Max Patparganj has successfully commissioned a true beam linear accelerator with Exact-Trac that is capable of giving the most precise radiation with maximum conformity (SRS, SRT, and SBRT). Thus, Max Patparganj has become the only center in East Delhi and Western Uttar Pradesh to be equipped with this high-end facility. In the first month of its commissioning, Max Patparganj has treated almost 50 patients successfully on this accelerator. Intra-operative CT The scanner allows imaging to be performed in the operating room, thereby reducing the need to transport patients from the radiology department and enabling the surgeons to make critical decisions during the surgery. The equipment allows intra-operative imaging of the brain and spine to perform image-guided surgery, thereby increasing the accuracy of neurological and spinal procedures. The surgeons are able to assess the patient’s condition before they are taken off the operating table. Intra-operative Nerve Monitoring System At Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, we mitigate the risks of neurological deficits with continuous intra-operative neuromonitoring during surgery. The neuromonitor aids the surgeon in reducing the risk of nerve damage while performing surgery, thereby preserving the quality of life post-surgery. Our comprehensive diagnostics, technology-aided consultations with eminent doctors, and quality healthcare at an affordable cost are some of the many reasons Max Healthcare is every patient's first choice.
