Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) treats advanced stage abdominal cancers, including appendiceal (appendix) cancer, colorectal cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, peritoneal mesothelioma, ovarian and stomach cancer. It is a highly concentrated, heated chemotherapy treatment that is delivered directly to the abdomen during surgery. Unlike systemic chemotherapy delivery, which circulates throughout the body, HIPEC delivers chemotherapy directly to cancer cells in the abdomen. This allows for higher doses of chemotherapy treatment. Heating the solution may also improve the absorption of chemotherapy drugs by tumors and destroy microscopic cancer cells that remain in the abdomen after surgery. The technology minimizes the rest of the body’s exposure to chemotherapy; and reduces some chemotherapy side effects. Before the patient receives HIPEC treatment, our experts perform cytoreductive surgery to remove visible tumors from the abdomen. It is a novel technique in which those abdominal malignancies are treated which were previously thought to be untreatable and were offered only palliative care.

ECMO (Extra Corporeal Membrane Therapy) is a high end rescue therapy for patients suffering from heart and lung failure but are neurologically intact. The technology provides support during high-risk procedures in the cardiac catheterization lab after a serious heart attack. It acts as a bridge for patients awaiting lung transplant. The ECMO helps keep the tissues well oxygenated, thereby making the candidate suitable for a transplant. When a patient is connected to ECMO, blood flows by tubing an artificial lung in the machine, which adds oxygen and takes out carbon dioxide. Thereafter, the blood is warmed as per the body temperature and pumped back in the body. The right candidates for ECMO Therapy are: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) secondary to pneumonia, aspiration, severe air leak; Refractory Septic / Cardiogenic Shock; Myocarditis - viral, scorpion sting; Post Arrest shock; Meconium Aspiration; Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia; Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension; and Poisoning.

The state of the art machine has proven to be a successful treatment for cancers of the prostate, cervix, endometrium, breast, skin, bronchus, esophagus, and head and neck, as well as soft tissue sarcomas and several other types of cancer.

The state of the art machine helps in producing high quality images using advanced medical imaging methods. The live images produced, help in the procedure of minimally invasive surgery. This advent of this machine has made surgeries more easier with minimal invasion.

Fundus cameras consist of an intricate microscope attached to a flashed enabled camera are used in fundus photography. The main structures that can be visualized on a fundus photo are the central and peripheral retina, optic disc and macula. Fundus photography can be performed with colored filters, or with specialized dyes including fluorescein and indocyanine green.
