Non-Surgical Treatment

NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS BY INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY

These procedures are performed without surgery by interventional radiologists. These physicians specialize in the use of X-Rays, Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) and other techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) to see inside the body without surgery. Flexible thin tubes (Catheters) are inserted through skin or blood vessels and guided to the treatment (like Heart Angioplasty). As it is done by interventional radiologist, he can see inside the body without opening it through CT Scan, Ultrasound, DSA thereby using exact site of disease without effecting surrounding structures.

ADVANTAGES

It is less risky as compared to surgery, it is cheaper than traditional surgery, no surgical scar on the skin, procedure done after local or short anesthesia and patients can resume normal activities within one to two days.
