Procedures Performed

Total Knee Replacement Surgery

Total knee replacement at Medcare Hospital is performed for patients suffering from severe knee arthritis and chronic joint pain. The procedure involves replacing damaged joint surfaces with high-quality prosthetic implants. Preoperative planning includes detailed imaging and alignment assessment to ensure optimal implant positioning. Minimally invasive techniques and modern anesthesia protocols reduce surgical trauma and improve postoperative comfort. Patients typically begin physiotherapy within 24 hours, promoting early mobility. International patients benefit from structured rehabilitation plans and predictable recovery timelines.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

This minimally invasive procedure is performed to remove the gallbladder in patients with gallstones or gallbladder inflammation. Using small incisions and a laparoscope, surgeons ensure minimal pain, reduced scarring, and rapid recovery. Most patients are discharged within one to two days, making it ideal for international travellers. Clear pre-travel guidance and postoperative instructions are provided.

Lumbar Disc Surgery

Lumbar disc surgery is offered for patients with herniated discs causing nerve compression and chronic pain. Advanced imaging and microsurgical techniques allow precise decompression while preserving spinal stability. Patients often experience significant pain relief and improved mobility. Rehabilitation and follow-up planning are tailored for international patients.

Laser Kidney Stone Removal

Laser Kidney Stone Removal is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat kidney stones that are too large to pass naturally. During the procedure, a urologist inserts a small ureteroscope through the urethra and bladder into the ureter or kidney. A laser fiber is then passed through the scope to precisely target and break the stone into tiny fragments using high-energy pulses. These fragments are either removed with a small basket or allowed to pass naturally in urine.

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the uterus using small incisions in the abdomen. Under general anesthesia, a laparoscope and specialized surgical tools are inserted through 3–4 tiny cuts. The surgeon views the internal organs on a monitor and carefully detaches the uterus from surrounding tissues, preserving nearby organs. Depending on the case, the cervix may also be removed or retained . Benefits include less pain, minimal scarring, reduced blood loss, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery. It’s commonly used to treat fibroids, heavy bleeding, endometriosis, and certain gynecologic conditions.
