About

Pantai Hospital is a private healthcare facility situated in Klang Valley. With over two hundred specialist doctors, this hospital takes pride in serving Kuala Lumpur for more than 45 years. Being officially a 'WHO's preferred hospital', Pantai Hospital, Kuala Lumpur has an integrated healthcare system where multiple medical and surgical specialists are at patient's disposal under one roof. Some of the top medical and surgical specialties offered by Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur include: · Laparoscopic Surgery · Laser Prostatectomy · Breast Disease · Chronic Hepatitis · Endocrine Tumor • LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY Laparoscopic Surgery is a surgical technique that is minimally invasive compared to an open surgical procedure. It involves using a small camera, called the laparoscope, inserted inside the body through a small incision. The laparoscope, a long, thin, tube-like instrument, is used to view the organs and structures. This surgical procedure technique, both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, promises a quicker recovery and minimal complications post-operatively. The laparoscopic surgeons at Pantai Hospital, Kuala Lumpur perform laparoscopic surgeries. Their surgeons are highly trained professionals who have mastered the art and expertise of handling laparoscopic instruments when performing surgery inside the body. With growing experience and improving expertise, several surgical procedures are now being performed laparoscopically. This has resulted in better outcomes at the hospital. • LASER PROSTATECTOMY Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate gland is a disease that occurs in more than 40% of men over 60 years. This condition can lead to several urinary tract symptoms because of the obstruction caused by the enlarged organ. These symptoms include the inability to urinate, frequent urination, loss of bladder control, and difficulty in starting urination. Although many of these symptoms can be treated with medication, surgical procedures are performed in patients who have not benefited from the medical treatments. Holmium Laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a laser procedure carried out to treat the obstructive symptoms caused by BPH. In this procedure, a laser is used to cut and resect the prostate tissue, blocking urine flow. The most crucial benefit of this procedure is that it allows removing a large amount of tissue without a surgical incision on the body. This reduces the risks of bleeding and infection and ensures a minimized stay in the hospital after the Surgery. At Pantai Hospital, before carrying out this laser surgical procedure, all the factors that disqualify the patient as a candidate for this Surgery are thoroughly investigated. The benefits and risks involved in this procedure are discussed with the patient in detail. After that, the Surgery is carried out by specialists and experts with years of experience and practice using state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. Pantai Hospital also ensures the best services for the patients admitted post-operatively. • BREAST DISEASE Breast Disease covers a range of breast conditions, both benign and malignant. The most common symptoms include breast pain, breast mass, and nipple discharge with any breast disease. Trauma, hormonal stimulation, autoimmune reactions, or milk engorgement can contribute to the breast tissue's infections and inflammatory processes. Bacterial mastitis, breast abscess, duct ectasia syndrome are all common breast diseases. An abnormal tissue mass can also be felt in the breast, which can result from neoplastic changes. These neoplastic changes can be benign, as in fibroadenoma, or malignant, in which case the mass is referred to as breast cancer. With the common breast diseases and breast cancer itself being the most common type of cancer in women, Pantai Hospital, Kuala Lumpur serves to ensure that anyone who presents with any breast disease symptoms is fully catered to under one roof. With specialists in breast disease and facilities that walk one through the tedious process of laboratory investigations, ultrasonography, mammography, MRI, and diagnostic procedures like FNAC, Pantai Hospital, Kuala Lumpur has paid particular attention to not only diagnosing the breast diseases but also treating them at the hands of expert physicians and surgeons. • CHRONIC HEPATITIS Inflammation of the liver that lasts longer than six months is termed chronic hepatitis. This medical condition can be caused by Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis C Virus and certain drugs. In most cases, the patient does not feel any symptoms at all, but patients may complain of fatigue and loss of appetite in some cases. Chronic hepatitis is usually diagnosed based on the blood test results. The most concerning complication of chronic hepatitis is the disease's progression to liver cirrhosis and ultimately to liver cancer. Based on the cause of hepatitis, advancement of the disease, the viral load, and the patient's overall symptoms, the treatment regimen is planned. Antivirals and corticosteroids can be prescribed. Moreover, liver transplantation may also be needed when the disease progresses to a decompensated state with severe symptoms and permanent damage to a large part of liver tissue. At Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur, a patient can conveniently undergo blood tests to diagnose chronic hepatitis and all the cause of the disease can be ruled out before an extensive treatment regimen is planned. With the expert gastroenterologists on board, the antiviral regimen is commenced if the cause of hepatitis is found to be HBV or HCV. Based on liver inflammation and damage, and other factors like the patient's age and overall health, the best possible treatment options are discussed with the patient in detail, and the plan is drawn. This ensures that the patient stays fully informed and remains compliant to the management plan and encourages the patient to remain fully connected with the specialist treating him. • ENDOCRINE TUMOR Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is cancer that arises from the neoplastic process in the specialized cells inside the organs forming the endocrine or nervous system. These tumors are rare and can occur anywhere inside the body. However, the common sites of NET include the small intestines, lungs, appendix, rectum, or pancreas, or any organ of the body. Genetic predisposition is found to be a significant contributing factor in causing this tumor. Some of the endocrine tumors include carcinoid tumor, adrenal cancer, pheochromocytoma, and Merkel Cell Carcinoma. There are several ways that these types of tumors are classified. Moreover, there are different ways that these tumors behave: some grow very slowly, and some have a faster growth rate, some tumors are functional where they release hormones inside the blood that cause symptoms, and other tumors are non-functional, not releasing any hormones or not releasing enough to cause symptoms. Some common symptoms include loss of weight, fatigue, and signs of skin flushing, diarrhea, and frequent urination. Pantai Hospital, Kuala Lumpur has the most skilled and well-trained endocrinologists on board for the management of these rare tumors. Based on the type of tumor, the tumor site, the spread of cancer or the hormone it releases, the overall treatment plan is mapped out. From state-of-the-art infrastructure, PET CT Scan services to expert physicians and surgeons, Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur ensures that the best diagnostic and treatment facilities are provided to the patient.
