Cesarean section performed by our skilled surgeon, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐧.
This surgical delivery was carried out with precision and compassion, ensuring the safe arrival of the newborn while prioritizing the health and well-being of the mother.

A cesarean section (C-section) involves making incisions in the abdomen and uterus to deliver the baby. It is often recommended in cases of prolonged labor, fetal distress, multiple pregnancies, or when vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or child. Compared to traditional delivery, C-section provides a controlled and safe alternative, especially in emergency situations.

Colporrhaphy performed by our skilled surgeon, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐡 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐬. This procedure repairs weakened vaginal walls, helping restore comfort, function, and quality of life for patients.

Colporrhaphy is often recommended for women experiencing pelvic organ prolapse, where the bladder or re**um bulges into the vaginal canal due to weakened support structures.

By strengthening and reconstructing these tissues, the surgery improves pelvic support, reduces symptoms such as pressure or discomfort, and enhances daily activities and overall well-being.

Patients often report significant improvement in urinary control, reduced pelvic pressure, and renewed confidence in daily life.

Laser lithotripsy performed by our skilled Urosurgeon, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐑𝐚𝐥𝐩𝐡 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧. This modern procedure uses laser energy to break down kidney or urinary stones into smaller fragments, allowing them to pass naturally and relieving patients from pain and complications.

Laser lithotripsy is often recommended when stones are too large, too hard, or lodged in places where they cannot pass on their own. Using a thin scope inserted through the urinary tract, the surgeon directs laser pulses precisely at the stone, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Patients benefit from reduced risk of infection and shorter hospital stays. In many cases, laser lithotripsy eliminates the need for open surgery, making it one of the safest and most effective treatments for urinary stones today.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed by our General Surgeon, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚.

This minimally invasive procedure removes the gallbladder through small incisions, using advanced laparoscopic techniques.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common treatment for gallstones and gallbladder disease. By using a tiny camera and specialized instruments, surgeons can clearly view the gallbladder and surrounding structures while minimizing trauma to the body. Compared to traditional open surgery, patients experience less scarring, lower risk of infection, and faster recovery.

Cesarean section with bilateral tubal ligation, performed by our skilled surgeon, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐊𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚.
This procedure not only ensured the safe delivery of the baby but also provided a permanent family planning solution for the patient.

Bilateral tubal ligation (BTL) is a highly effective and permanent method of contraception. It works by blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes, preventing eggs from reaching the uterus for fertilization. Because it is performed immediately after a cesarean section, patients avoid the need for a separate surgery, reducing recovery time and ensuring convenience.

BTL offers women peace of mind, long-term reproductive control, and empowerment in making decisions about their future.

Performed by our skilled Orthopedic surgeon, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐀𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐬.

This procedure was necessary to address an infected, non-healing wound — preventing further complications and paving the way for recovery and improved quality of life.

Ray amputation involves the surgical removal of a toe along with its corresponding metatarsal bone. It is often performed when severe infection, gangrene, or non-healing wounds threaten the surrounding tissue and overall health of the patient. By removing the affected area, the surgery helps stop the spread of infection, reduces pain, and allows patients to regain mobility with proper rehabilitation and supportive care.

Partial mastectomy performed by our skilled General, Breast and Cancer surgeon, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐳. This breast-conserving surgery removes only the affected tissue, helping patients heal while preserving the natural shape of the breast.

Partial mastectomy, also known as lumpectomy, is often recommended for patients with early-stage breast cancer or localized tumors. By removing only, the diseased portion of the breast along with a margin of healthy tissue, the procedure allows patients to maintain their natural appearance while effectively treating the condition.

It is usually followed by additional therapies, such as radiation, to ensure long-term success and reduce the risk of recurrence.
