CHANDIGARH, Oct 29: Over 110 doctors of National Integrated Medical Association (NIMA) attended a CME (Continued Medical Education) conducted in association with Max Super Specialty Hospital Mohali on ‘Fertility Enhancing Procedures’, here in Chandigarh.
Dr Seema Wadhwa, Senior Consultant, Gynaecology and Advanced Laparoscopy Specialist, Max Super Specialty Hospital Mohali, spoke on the latest advancements to treat infertility.
Talking about Laparoscopic Treatment  Options, Dr Wadhwa said that many procedures that were traditionally only done through large open incisions are now  done laparoscopically through a keyhole. “These include options such as Laparoscopic Myomectomy for the removal of large Fibroids or multiple fibroids and Laparoscopic treatment of advanced stage Endometriosis  which causes adhesions, Ovarian cysts and blockage of Fallopian tubes and is a major cause of infertility,” she explained.
Hysteroscopic Treatment Options such as removal of scar tissue from the inside of the uterus, or removal of a uterine septum can be done as day care procedures, informed Dr Seema.
” Endoscopy is a powerful tool for the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine benign pathologies to enhance fertility. It is a simple, safe, reproducible, effective, well-tolerated, and low-cost surgical procedure  without any analgesic pre-treatment, for assessing, diagnosis as well as treatment in the same sitting,” she explained.
Dr Deepak Gupta, Senior Consultant, Neurology spoke on ‘Management of Hyperacute Stroke’. Present on the occasion were Dr R P Gaba, President NIMA and Sandeep Dogra, Vice President-Operations, Max Hospital.
“Technological improvements, such as miniaturized hysteroscopes, highly advanced HD Cameras, mechanical, and electrical 5F instruments, innovations in Latest Energy Sources  and the use of correct techniques, enable us to perform many operative procedures in a Day Care setting,” said Sandeep Dogra, Vice President-Operations. Important advantages of these Fertility Enhancing  minimally invasive Procedures  are decreased recovery time, better cosmetic results, Ultra short stay in the hospital and most of all these are totally painless Procedures, he added.
