Manipal Hospital in India

Features and clinical profile of Manipal Hospital in Bangalore

1. Hospital’s specialists are guided by modern treatment protocols adopted at the international level.
2. The hospital is equipped with modernized MRI/CT units, radiation therapy devices and Da Vinci robotic systems.

Manipal works in several specialized areas.

• Organ transplantation.

The main specialization of the hospital doctors is kidney transplantation. Transplantation is performed from a living or dead donor. To date, more than one and a half thousand such operations have been performed in the clinic.

Liver transplant is performed by Manipal doctors from a relative of the patient. Before the operation, diagnostics are carried out to determine whether the donor liver will take root in the recipient’s body. During transplantation, the damaged part of the liver is removed, after which it is replaced with one taken from a healthy organ. The restoration of the implanted segment takes 3-5 days.

• Cancer therapy.

Manipal’s specialization in this area is the treatment of cancer of the breast, colon, cervix, bladder, prostate, ovaries and testicles, lungs and thyroid. With IBM Watson, powered by artificial intelligence, doctors can choose the most effective and gentle treatments.

IBM Watson is a computer platform designed for planning and modeling cancer therapy. This development belongs to American scientists. Patient data is entered into the program, where they are compared with 25,000 similar samples from other case histories, as well as with cases described in scientific research publications and books. As a result, IBM Watson can select the most effective treatment model.

Manipal Bangalore Hospital experts use following therapeutic methods to fight cancer:

1. Chemo- and radiation therapy – drug treatment and destruction of the tumor by exposing it to ionizing radiation.
2. HIPEC is high temperature chemotherapy administered inside the peritoneum. This method is used to effectively remove metastases and prevent their migration throughout the body.
3. Da Vinci is a robotic surgeon that removes tumors through small holes up to three centimeters in diameter. Mostly, this development is used to remove formations in the uterus, prostate and bladder.
4. Bone marrow transplant. At Hospital Manipal, physicians transplant donor cells or autologous cells taken from the patient himself. This operation is necessary for the full restoration of hematopoietic functions.

Hospital specialists work with clinical cases of any severity.

• Orthopedics.

The main specialization of the doctors of the hospital in this area is joint arthroplasty and arthroscopy.

Joint replacement surgeries are performed in operating rooms that are equipped with modernized ortho-navigation systems. With the help of such developments, doctors can accurately locate the joint and prevent it from loosening during movement.

Arthroscopy is performed on the shoulder and knee joints. To do this, a small incision is made through which an arthroscope, a special optical instrument, is inserted. The entire intervention process is displayed on the monitor. Such operations are sparing and less traumatic for patients. The very next day, the development of the joint begins with natural walking; at the same time, people do not feel severe pain or discomfort.
