The cervix, normally closed during pregnancy, provides vital support to the growing fetus. Cervical insufficiency occurs when the cervix weakens prematurely, increasing the risk of adverse outcomes. Indications for Cervical Stitch: Cervical stitch, or cerclage, is recommended for women at risk due to: 1. **History of Preterm Birth:** Especially in the second trimester. 2. **Previous Pregnancy Losses:** Recurrent second-trimester losses may indicate cervical strength issues. 3. **Anatomical Factors:** An unusually short cervix or other factors increasing the risk of cervical insufficiency. 4. **Previous Cervical Trauma:** Trauma or surgery, like a cone biopsy, can weaken cervical tissues. Procedure: Done between the 12th and 14th week, it involves: 1. **Evaluation:** Thorough assessment, including a pelvic exam and ultrasound, to determine candidacy. 2. **Placement of Stitch:** A stitch around the cervix for added support, either transvaginally or transabdominally. 3. **Monitoring:** Regular ultrasound and assessments post-procedure to ensure the stitch holds and pregnancy progresses well. Risks and Considerations: While generally safe, considerations include: 1. **Infection:** Strict hygiene and sterilization protocols at Sukhayu Hospital minimize infection risks. 2. **Preterm Rupture of Membranes:** Rare, but carefully considered before recommending cerclage. 3. **Cervical Laceration:** Minimal risk, managed by experienced healthcare professionals. 4. **Allergic Reactions:** Thorough medical history assessments to identify potential allergies. Sukhayu Hospital's Approach: Ensuring safety is a priority with: 1. **Expert Consultation:** Detailed evaluation considers medical history and existing risk factors. 2. **State-of-the-Art Facilities:** Advanced technology ensures precision in every aspect of the procedure. 3. **Comprehensive Monitoring:** Regular monitoring through ultrasound and diagnostic tools. 4. **Patient Education:** Detailed information empowers informed decision-making.

Umbilical hernia surgery is a small, quick operation to push the bulge back into place and to strengthen the abdominal wall. In most cases, the person receiving surgery will be able to go home on the same day. Surgery involves making an incision at the base of the belly button and pushing either the fatty lump or bowel back into the abdomen. In open surgery, our surgeon will open the site and repair the hernia by using mesh and stitching the muscle together. In laparoscopic surgery or keyhole, surgery, mesh and sutures will be passed through small incisions. Muscle layers are stitched over the weak area in the abdomen wall, fortifying it. Dissolvable stitches or special glue are used to close the wound. The surgeon will sometimes apply a pressure dressing on the hernia, which remains in place for 4 to 5 days. An umbilical hernia operation usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure that involves cutting away a section of the prostate. The prostate is a small gland in the pelvis only found in men. It's located between the penis and bladder and surrounds the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis). If the prostate becomes enlarged, it can place pressure on the bladder and urethra. This can cause symptoms such as having difficulty peeing. Why TURP is carried out TURP is often recommended when prostate enlargement causes troublesome symptoms and fails to respond to treatment with medication. Symptoms that may improve after TURP include: problems with starting to pee a weak flow of pee, or stopping and starting having to strain to pee a frequent need to pee waking up frequently during the night to pee a sudden urge to pee being unable to empty your bladder fully How TURP is performed TURP is carried out using a device called a resectoscope, which is a thin metal tube containing a light, camera and loop of wire. This is passed along your urethra until it reaches your prostate, which means no cuts (incisions) need to be made in your skin. The loop of wire is then heated with an electric current and used to cut away the section of your prostate causing your symptoms. A thin tube called a catheter is then inserted into your urethra to pump fluid into the bladder and flush away pieces of the prostate that have been removed. General or spinal anaesthesia is used during the procedure so you don't feel any pain while it's carried out.

If you have an anal fissure that hasn’t healed with self-help measures and medical treatments, we may suggest you a procedure to treat it. An anal fissure is a small tear or ulcer (open sore) in your skin around the opening of your anus. There are several different types of procedures available, including injections with botulinum toxin, removal of the fissure (excision or fissurectomy) and sphincterotomy. We may suggest you have a procedure called a fissurectomy alongside Botox injections. This involves cutting away the damaged skin from around your anal fissure, along with any ‘sentinel’ skin tags (lumps of skin associated with the fissure).
