Biopsy

A biopsy is a diagnostic medical test in which a tissue sample is removed for microscopic examination by a pathologist. A biopsy is performed to determine the presence or extent of a disease such as cancer or cirrhosis. Biopsies are performed when physical examination, X-rays or other diagnostic tests indicate the possible presence of a malignancy or other serious disease. Biopsies may be taken from any area of the body in which a lesion, mass or lump is found, and are commonly done on skin, breast, gastrointestinal organs, gynecological or urological tracts. ...

Endocrine Surgery

Endocrine surgery involves surgery on one of the glands of the endocrine system, each of which produces specific hormones.

Surgery is the only method to correct them. Small hiatal hernias, however, can sometimes be kept at bay through diet and medication. Among the most common procedures in the United States, hernia surgery is performed to push the protruding tissue back into place and repair the weakness in the abdominal wall which allowed it to pass through. ...

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions in the abdominal and pelvic areas. During a laparoscopic procedure, a thin tube with a camera on the end, known as a laparoscope, is inserted through a tiny incision to allow the doctor to closely examine the organs of the area. Surgical instruments can be inserted through additional incisions to treat any identified problems or to retrieve tissue specimens. ...
