“Hassle-free treatment! Speedy recovery !!”
Evolving technology in the surgical field has brought about a vast change in the way one looks at the surgery. Velammal Hospital has always been abreast of capturing these advancements to provide a hassle-free surgical experience. The hysteria for surgery is out of the way with the minimally invasive alternatives that are practiced with a hit record in velammal hospital. This breakthrough surgical technology is an optimum pick to traditional surgery that calls for large incisions tied up with an equally large struggle and laparoscopy with smaller incision but limited to simple procedures.
These alternatives are less invasive and are available for an array of complex surgical procedures.
- Precision
- Swift Recovery
- Reduced hospital stay
- Minimal blood loss during surgery
- Less visible scars
- Less damage to healthy tissue
A wide range of vascular and non-vascular minimally invasive image-guided procedures are employed to diagnose and treat most of the ailments.
Prominent interventional radiologists with decades of experience in the field are part of the Velammal family with all propitious values imbibed to deliver promising results.
The division of Interventional Radiology is equipped with two states of the art Cath labs and 128 slice CT scanner providing 24×7 services for all emergency and elective procedures with well-experienced staff and technicians.
