Korba, September 12 (HS). Vedanta Group company Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO) has incorporated advanced medical technologies for neurosurgery procedures of hydrocephalus and phacoemulsification in its BALCO Hospital. Such complex disease often requires advanced care for which the patient has to go to the city for treatment. These technologies will enhance the service capabilities of the hospital and will be helpful in providing advanced healthcare in the community. Every year the skilled medical team of BALCO Hospital serves more than 2,10,000 patients from Korba, Raigarh, Bilaspur and Janjgir Champa districts of Chhattisgarh.
Doctors at BALCO Hospital performed neurosurgery using an external ventricular drain (EVD) for hydrocephalus, a condition in which fluid accumulates in the brain cavities that can cause brain damage. Phacoemulsification is a cataract surgery that provides rapid improvement in vision clarity. The technique allows for precise lens placement, resulting in much better visibility. It also reduces post-operative care and recovery time compared to conventional methods, providing better patient outcomes.
Phacoemulsification is a modern, stitch-free cataract surgery that provides rapid improvement in vision clarity. This technique allows for precise lens placement, leading to significantly better visual outcomes. In addition, it reduces post-operative care and recovery time compared to traditional methods, providing patients with faster and more efficient treatment.
BALCO Hospital has also introduced Arthroplasty, an advanced surgical procedure focused on joint replacement. It aims to improve mobility and reduce chronic pain for patients suffering from joint disorders such as arthritis, fractures or joint degeneration. This technique facilitates the replacement of damaged or worn out joints with artificial implants and significantly reduces recovery time. The integration of a fully automated pathology analyzer has improved diagnostic accuracy. All these lead to better patient outcomes and more appropriate treatment.
