Treating complex conditions doesn’t always mean major surgery. Image-guided procedures help treat problems with smaller cuts and faster recovery. Explore advanced Interventional Radiology care. Q: Can health problems be treated without going through major surgery? A: In many cases, yes. Interventional Radiology allows doctors to treat several conditions using small instruments guided by live imaging, instead of relying on traditional open surgery. The procedure is carried out with the help of ultrasound, CT scan, or X-ray guidance. This allows the doctor to reach the exact area that needs treatment without making a large surgical cut. ● Less impact on the body - small openings replace bigger surgical incisions, which usually makes the recovery process more comfortable. ● Shorter recovery time - most procedures need less hospital stay, so patients get back to their daily routine much faster. ● Treatment for a range of conditions - Interventional Radiology is commonly used for varicose veins, blocked arteries, poor blood circulation, uterine fibroids, thyroid nodules, enlarged prostate, and liver tumors. If surgery has been suggested to you and you'd like to explore other options first, speaking with an interventional radiologist in Pune can help you understand what's available based on your specific condition.
