SANJAY UWAACH @2 ✌️AM ! URGENT NEED FOR CREATING : “ ORTHOPAEDIC PHYSICIANS “ IN INDIA : There is an urgent felt need for creation of Orthopaedic Physicians in India . As we know Neurosurgeons and Neuro- physicians are two different entities . Both are necessary . Their area of expertise is different . Neurosurgeon do operative work while Neurologist prescribes medications . He is not trained in Neurological Surgery procedures. There are many examples. Take Paediatrician and Paediatric Surgeon. Same is the case with Orthopaedic Surgeon and Orthopaedic Physician. And Orthopaedic Surgeons are doing great job since the speciality is here , say , may be from last 70-80 years in our country . I am alive and have mobility only because of the great Orthopaedic Surgeons like Dr Choudhary ( Akola), Dr Talwalkar ( Mumbai) and Padmashree Dr Vikram Marwah Sir ( Nagpur) , who then operated upon me in the years 1962 , 1963 and 1977 respectively . I have 64% orthopaedic disability due to post-polio residual paralysis. But these all orthopaedic surgeons , operated upon me and made me , kept me mobile. Thanks to all those surgeons who supported , helped me, kept me moving. NEED FOR “ ORTHO- PHYSICIANS “ TO FIGHT LIFESTYLE CHRONIC DAY TO DAY MUSCULOSKELETAL ISSUES AND PAIN : Every time you cannot operate. Or how many times you will do “ Joint Replacements “ and of which joints , how many joints ? I am talking about people and the governments - both central and state governments . I am not talking about or against orthopaedic surgeons . I am talking about floating the concept of : ” Orthopaedic Physicians” . I am talking about starting academic courses for it . But it seems , the subject is totally ignored and neglected. I am talking about common , chronic musculoskeletal diseases ( MSD ) like Osteoporosis , Osteoarthritis , Sarcopenia , then Exercises , Kinesiologist etc . In this era of AI and Google Doctors , I am talking about exacting the consultation with Exact Specialist i.e. Orthopaedic Physician . And if the person is an older adult ( OA ) , then comes the special speciality i.e. OrthoGeriatrics and special specialist i.e. OrthoGeriatrician . If we really want to become a developed nation by 2047 , then this should be addressed first because by 2050 the population of our OA will be 20% of total population. I know this won’t happen in a day , but it will happen on some day ‼️

Disadvantages and Contraindications of Laparoscopic Surgery - Lecture by Dr. R.K. Mishra at WLH https://lnkd.in/gayQt9Xc Laparoscopic surgery, often hailed for its minimally invasive nature, has revolutionized the field of surgery, offering benefits like reduced recovery time, minimized postoperative pain, and smaller incisions. However, like any medical procedure, it comes with its own set of limitations, disadvantages, and contraindications that must be carefully considered by surgeons. Understanding these challenges is crucial for patient safety and successful surgical outcomes. Disadvantages of Laparoscopic Surgery Steep Learning Curve: Laparoscopic surgery requires a high level of technical skill and familiarity with the equipment. Surgeons must undergo extensive training to master the procedures. The use of advanced tools such as a harmonic scalpel or ligasure for dissection and hemostasis demands precision and experience. The steep learning curve can make the initial adoption difficult, especially in complex cases like laparoscopic colorectal or bariatric surgery. Increased Operative Time: In many cases, laparoscopic procedures can take longer than their open counterparts, especially for surgeons early in their learning curve. The added time comes from port placement, limited visibility, and dexterity constraints imposed by the instruments. Injury to adjacent organs such as the bowel, bladder, or major blood vessels due to limited tactile feedback. Trocar site hernias and port-site infections, although rare, are recognized complications. Complications from insufflation of the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide (CO₂), which can cause hypercapnia, subcutaneous emphysema, and, in rare cases, gas embolism. High Cost: The equipment used in laparoscopic surgery, such as high-definition cameras, energy devices like harmonic scalpels, and specialized instruments, can be costly. The cost of laparoscopic setups and maintenance is significantly higher than that for traditional open surgeries, making it less accessible in resource-limited settings. Limited Sensory Feedback: Surgeons performing laparoscopic surgery lack the tactile feedback present in open surgery. They must rely heavily on visual cues from the camera, which may not provide adequate information about the texture or tension of tissues being manipulated. This can lead to inadvertent injuries during dissection or suturing. https://lnkd.in/dj77RMp Contact us: World Laparoscopy Hospital Cyber City, Gurugram, NCR Delhi, INDIA        Phone/WhatsApp: +919811416838, +919999677788 World Laparoscopy Training Institute Bld.

Written by *Dr Dhananjay Kelkar* Medical Director, Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune. _Future is here... Really? Robotic surgery and more...._ Last 12 months, I am looking at robotic surgery and perceived future of high tech surgery. The focus of surgery is shifting from patient needs and benefits to leadership in surgery and perceived needs. Companies come up with new technology which is supposedly beneficial to mankind and create a need which portrays high tech is better than ordinary. This onslaught of tech advertising is already in our mindset and blood, starting right from toothpaste to car and from proteins to our appearance. We want spot remedies for lifestyle illnesses. We earn our diabetes, hypertension and heart disease from modern living and expect more modern medicare to give quickfix solutions. As a society we have unrealistic expectations from medicine and hence dramatic and dreamlike technology advances are wanted more than ever. Patients like to hear keywords for every surgery like laser, endoscopy, robot, min invasive, automated, remote controlled and so on.. What patients want is a mirage which we have created. It is like the olympic logo of higher, faster, stronger and we have lost the amateur sporting spirit along the way. Doping and cheating is a new standard in sport to create a level playing field. Professional sportmen who achieve the impossible and earn the impossible and who are often corrupted from inside are our new heroes. The medicine is on the same path. We want star hospitals and hightech medicine and glamorous doctors to deliver unrealistic results. We are no longer dictated by the right indications, right investigations and right decisions but by more and more investigations, most sophisticated technology and mostly for wrong indications. The basics in medicine are horribly missing. Even the best doctors are swayed by this onslaught of leadership roles into so called ultramodern medicine. There is no doubt that newer is better in tecnology terms but many of these evolving technologies belong to research labs and not in hospitals. Even the guidelines are dictated by commerce. That is the gift america has given to the world. Evidence based is the new keyword in medicine and evidence comes to print, based on trials which are almost always sponsored. The evidence is created and printed to serve the cause of the master which is bottomline i.e. profit. Almost all surgical conferences are now dominated by robot and stapler and laser and newer technologies. The reason is not medical importance but of sponsorship for the conference. The younger doctors are corrupted right from the word go. No one even talks about indication of surgery, necessity of intervention, additional benefit of technology and cost efficiency on national scale. The need is to have नीरक्षीरविवेक, abilty to identify milk from water. I strongly believe this an article which needs to be discussed.

“Rediscover being a doctor” 15 to 20 mg cortisol secreted in normal stress of human beings. 150 mg under maximum stress. A study shows Surgeons anaethetist in India exceed this 150 mg frequently in a day... That is 10 to 15 times more than the Military colonel in battle field. Doctors in Tamil Nadu Government service frequently cross 80mg per day and 150 mg at least twice a month... All of us know the adverse effects of cortisol in our body. “Survey : How happy & satisfied are doctors” Total 1781 responses were received & following were the observation: # Only 37.7% of doctors were satisfied # Only 45.1% doctor’s got complete 7 hr. sleep # 82% doctors felt stressed out # 54.5% doctors had high blood pressure # 38.6% doctors had diabetes # 61.6% doctors had a fear of violence, while giving consultation. # 56.5% doctors had thought of hiring security in their clinic premises. # Only 8% doctors had 1st choice for their children to become doctor # 75.6% doctors had anxiety. # 26.4% doctors indulged in social drinking. # 45.4% doctors were afraid of possible violence # 24.6% doctors were afraid of being sued. # 13.5% doctors were afraid for criminal prosecution “Doctors die early. National IMA study showed that Indian doctors die 10 year earlier than the normal age and Kerala study showed that they died even 13 years earlier.” If one doctor dies, to make another doctor we need 30 years and have to spend crores of public money, it is people's money. In case a doctor dies, his unavailable services during those 30 years many common people may die. Common people are safe only if they exist. “Do you know” ? @ that when treating you of your viral fever your doctor gets exposed to the virus? @ that when doing surgery your doctor gets cuts and pricks that may transmit disease from patient to doctor? @ that when your doctor dresses your diabetic foot, they feel nauseated by smell and do not feel like eating for the whole day? @ that when during a delivery the patient often passes urine and motion that may spills on the doctor? @ that even though your doctor's own child might be suffering from fever, he has to leave him to others as he has to go and treat others while his own child suffers? @ that for every delivery case your doctor has to attend at least 10 calls throughout night.. And then be back to work early next day? @ that when a neurosurgeon operates for 12 hours continuously he loses track of time and forgets to eat or sleep? @ that a cardiologist is exposed to dangerous levels of radiation in the lab? @ that the life span of doctors is 10 years less than public average because of stress? With their level of intelligence they could earn more money if that have been the sole motive, had they chosen other professions.. Please respect a doctor because he is the FIRST and LAST person you see in your life. 🙏

The dark side of "KA". I believe that KA is better than MA when it works, which it does 99% of the time - but this is not the first KA patient I've seen develop patellofemoral problems. I believe that a subvastus approach (not performed here) will assist patellofemoral stability and that KA-optimised implants will be very helpful - but when the KA implant is not available in your market, seeing an x-ray like this does make one wonder when the improved functional scores with KA is worth the rare knee which does this. Implant manufacturers don't like to acknowledge that KA can cause issues when using implants which were not designed for this philosophy - but I believe this is a real issue. Any others seen similar? #knee #kneereplacement #kinematicalignment

#snsinstituitions #designthinkers PTCA Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked or stenosed coronary arteries allowing unobstructed blood flow to the myocardium. However, most modern angioplasty procedures also involve inserting a short wire mesh tube, called a stent, into the artery during the procedure. The stent is left in place permanently to allow blood to flow more freely. Coronary angioplasty is sometimes known as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) are effective interventions for coronary artery disease. CABG is preferred for complex cases with multiple blockages, while PTCA is less invasive and suitable for less severe cases. PTCA relieves symptoms of CAD by improving blood flow to your heart. During PTCA, a catheter (a thin, soft, flexible tube) with a balloon at the tip is inserted into your artery to widen the passageway. Then, the catheter is removed. After the procedure, you may need to stay in the hospital for a day or more. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a minimally invasive procedure that opens blocked coronary arteries to improve blood flow to the heart. It's also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PTCA is performed when a narrowed coronary artery can be reached in a way that allows for the procedure. Not all coronary artery disease can be treated with PTCA, and your doctor will decide the best treatment for you based on your circumstances.
