Treatment & Procedures
Non-Invasive Testing
Scans and diagnostic tests are crucial to an effective prenatal care program. The safest and most reliable procedures are non-invasive tests like ultrasounds. A routine prenatal care program usually includes a fetal viability scan in the first 6 to 10 weeks, followed by a first-trimester screening and NT scan. A detailed anomaly scan between 18 to…
Follicular Imaging in Assisted…
This is one of the foremost tests in assisted reproduction that gives hope to millions of couples who want to have a baby. Follicular study and monitoring are done to study ovarian follicles that are used to identify ovulation of egg.
Obstetric Scans
Manipal Hospitals sports top of the line screening equipment manned by a team of brilliant technicians who leave no room for error. The accuracy of their diagnosis is commendable and helps our gynaecologists to map the action plan for treatment.
Doppler Studies
Manipal Hospitals’ lab is appropriately furbished with top of the line scanning equipment to enable accurate outcomes. The high precision Doppler ultrasound uses sound waves to detect the movement of blood in vessels. It is thus used in pregnancy to study blood circulation in the baby, uterus and placenta.
Fetal Echo Studies
The fetal echocardiography is similar to an ultrasound. Only, this machine uses sound waves that ‘echo’ off the structures of the fetus's heart. This exam allows your doctor to clearly view the structure and function of your unborn child's heart to spot any complications. It's typically done in the second trimester, between weeks 18 to 24.
Gynecological Scans
Among the range of gynaecological scans, the pelvic ultrasound is a noninvasive diagnostic exam which produces images that are used to assess organs and structures within the female pelvis. A pelvic ultrasound allows quick visualization of the female pelvic organs and structures including the uterus, cervix, vagina, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Cyst Aspiration
A cyst aspiration is a procedure used to drain fluid from a breast cyst. The vast majority of cysts are benign (non-cancerous), though some are quite tender. Aspirating the fluid from a cyst may alleviate symptoms or discomfort. In some cases where your gynaecologist suspects a disorder like cancer, the specimens are sent to our pathology lab to determine…
Amniocentesis
Amniocentesis is a prenatal test in which a small amount of amniotic fluid is removed from the sac surrounding the fetus for testing. The sample of amniotic fluid (less than one ounce) is removed through a fine needle inserted into the uterus through the abdomen, under ultrasound guidance.
Fetal Blood Sampling
Fetal blood sampling (FBS) refers to three techniques used to gain access to fetal blood: cordocentesis - also known as percutaneous umbilical blood sampling, intrahepatic blood sampling, and cardiocentesis. The techniques for FBS can also be used for intravenous administration of medication such as digoxin) or blood products that include platelets…
Fetal blood transfusion
A fetal blood transfusion is a procedure used to treat anemia in the fetus. Fetal anemia occurs when the baby's blood count is too low. The condition can be life threatening, which is why fetal blood transfusions need to be conducted shortly after discovering fetal anemia.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Fetospic…
Fetoscopy is an endoscopic procedure conducted during pregnancy to allow surgical access to the fetus, the amniotic cavity, the umbilical cord, and the fetal side of the placenta. A smal incision is made in the abdomen, and an endoscope is inserted through the abdominal wall and uterus into the amniotic cavity. The scope is introduced through a small…
Laser Ablation and Cord Coagulation…
The most common procedure to treat TTTS is reduction amniocentesis. This procedure involves draining the amniotic fluid from around the recipient twin. This procedure may improve circulation in the donor twin especially if the anastomosis or cross connection is superficial in the placenta and the TTTS is at a lower stage.
Evidence based Counselling for…
The goal of prepregnancy care is to reduce the risk of adverse health effects for the woman, fetus, and neonate before people plan to have a baby. This is done to optimize health, address modifiable risk factors, and provide education about a healthy pregnancy.
