I found out that I needed an operation for a problem. I decided to look into having the operation privately in India and was fortunate to come across Laparoscopy Hospital India. From my initial enquiry when I e-mailed my MRI results I was amazed at rapid replies to my e mails and within 3 weeks was in India having the operation done under Dr. R.K. Mishra. The hospital was incredible and again the attention given was second to none. As for cost I did the whole trip with first class flights, family run guest house accommodation, medical treatment and Incidentals for less than a quarter of the cost of the operation in USA. I can recommend going to India for medical treatment highly enough. I wouldn't hesitate to go back If I had the need for more medical treatment. http://www.laparoscopyhospital.com/two_port_cholecystectomy.htm md@laparoscopyhospital.com Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is the gold standard for the treatment of gall stone disease. The operation is routinely performed using four or three ports of entry into the abdomen. At Laparoscopy Hospital we frequently perform Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy by Two Ports. We have developed a new technique of performing two port cholecystectomy with the help of modified extra corporeal Meltzer knot. With this technique we can give traction over the gallbladder in any direction for proper exposure. This new innovative two-port method of gallbladder removal can be used only for simple uncomplicated cholelithiasis cases by experienced surgeon, but it has definite advantage over conventional four port cholecystectomy. http://www.laparoscopyhospital.com/two_port_repair_of_ventral_hernia.htm md@laparoscopyhospital.com The operation is routinely performed using four or three ports of entry into the abdomen. This two port technique can be accomplished with the help of Anchor or Protack or Tacker if patient can afford. Two port technique using PDS is safe and economical method of performing laparoscopic repair of ventral hernia. Although using strategically placed knot we have performed one port repair of ventral hernia also with the help of suture passer but if adhesions are present one port technique is not possible. We at Laparoscopy Hospital developed this new technique. Two port technique should be included in the practice of repair of ventral hernia surgery laparoscopically because in case of any difficulty the third port can be introduced any time without any difficulty. http://www.laparoscopyhospital.com/drrkmishra.htm md@laparoscopyhospital.com I was surprised that Mr Agha and Mr Muir should state, in their well written and considered review November 2003 JRSM1 that the laparoscopic era was launched with the description of laparoscopic cholecystectomy by a French general surgeon. In fact it is the humble gynaecologist who should take the credit for introducing the revolution of laparoscopic surgery. Thirty years ago Clarke2 described the first laparoscopic ligation and resection whilst Kurt Semm is regarded as the father of gynaecological laparoscopy described a variety of pelvic procedures including hysterectomy accomplished laparoscopically in 1980, a full ten years before laparoscopic cholecystectomy. I hope that this eliminates any confusion over which specialty pioneered the techniques now increasingly utilized as laparoscopy. http://www.laparoscopyhospital.com/NEWS.HTM md@laparoscopyhospital.com Everyone wants a health service manned and womanned by experienced, skilled, motivated, well informed doctors. Most people would agree that we have to pay for these things. The million dollar question is, how much? Are British doctors really earning the amounts being quoted in the press? Many doctors I talk to don't recognise these large sums. In this week's Head to Head debate on whether doctors' self interest is ruining the NHS. Buckman explains that the headline figure for average earnings for general practitioners, £118 000, is an overestimate because it doesn't take into account the need to pay employees pension contributions. The BMA also says that the figure is based on a biased sample including too many high earning dispensing practices. According to Hamish Meldrum, chair of the BMA GPs Committee self employed non-dispensing GPs were earning on average around £95 000. Buckman says that most general practices have seen profits fall in real terms as expenses have risen. Are British doctors overpaid compared with doctors elsewhere? Newly released figures from the UK Treasury suggest that even three years ago, before the recent pay increases, British doctors earned well above their European counterparts.
