Then the surgeon will use a gloved hand to conduct a vaginal examination and will check the size and location of the uterus by pressing on your lower abdomen.
Your doctor will then use a retractor to open the vagina.
Once the cervix is visible, a forceps is used to grasp the front lip of the cervix …
and to pull it forward – causing the uterus to open.
Through that opening, your doctor will insert an instrument called a hysteroscope.
A hysteroscope allows the surgical team to insert all necessary optical and surgical instruments into the uterus. Medical Malpractice
At the beginning of the procedure, a harmless gas or fluid will be introduced into the uterus, causing it to expand.
By inflating the uterus slightly, your doctor is better able to reach the operative site.
Next, a wire loop is inserted. This loop is used to grab the fibroid tissue and snip it free from the muscular wall of the uterus. Medical Malpractice
When your doctor is satisfied that all fibrous tissue has been removed,
the hysteroscope and all other instruments are withdrawn. The gas or fluid is allowed to escape …
and the uterus returns to its normal shape.

Your doctor has recommended that you – or your child – undergo surgery to remove you or your child’s tonsils. But what does that actually mean?
Your tonsils are located in the throat at the back of your mouth – one on either side of the uvula. Together, your tonsils work to help fight infection entering the body through the mouth. They are part of your immune system.
Occasionally tonsils themselves become infected. This condition is called tonsillitis.
Medical Malpractice
During an attack of tonsillitis, the tonsils can become inflamed and can cause fever and body aches. In addition, tonsillitis can increase the chance of other complicating illnesses, including:
Enlargement of the lymph nodes in the neck.
Enlargement of the tonsils causing difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Recurrent bronchitis. And other conditions caused by infection.
Medical Malpractice
In most cases, a doctor will recommended the surgical removal of tonsils only when tonsillitis becomes chronic and begins to interfere with daily life.
Luckily, in most people, the immune system is more than able to compensate for the loss of the tonsils and having them removed will not in any way weaken you. You should make sure you have spoken to your doctor about the particular reasons behind his or her recommendation.
Medical Malpractice
And remember, the final decision is up to you. No one can force you to undergo a surgical procedure against your will.

Then the surgeon will make a small skin incision in the upper chest, just below the collarbone.
A pocket is then created between the skin and the tissue that covers the chest muscle.
Next, the team will use instruments called retractors to hold back the skin and underlying tissue. They’ll locate a large blood vessel called the subclavian vein.
Using a special needle and syringe, your doctor will puncture the wall of the vein.
A thin guide wire is then inserted through the needle and into the vein. Your doctor gently pushes the wire until it reaches the heart. Medical Malpractice
Using an instrument called a fluoroscope the surgical team is able to see the wire’s progress through the vein and into the beating heart.
Once the wire is in place, the needle is removed
and a catheter – or hollow tube – is passed over the guide wire and into the heart.
One or two leads are then passed through the catheter.
When the lead or leads are in their proper position,
the catheter is removed. Medical Malpractice
Finally, the lead is connected to the pacemaker,
the pacemaker is inserted into the pocket below the collar bone
and the incision is closed.

Before we talk about treatment, let’s start with a discussion about the human body and about your medical condition.
You doctor has recommended that you undergo knee replacement surgery. But what exactly does that mean?
The knee is one of the most complex and one of the most important joints in your body.
Let’s take a look at the way the knee joint works.
The knee is made up of four bones. The femur, which is the large bone in your thigh,
… attaches by ligaments to your tibia.
Just below and next to the tibia is the fibula, which runs parallel to the tibia.
The patella, or what we call the knee cap, rides on the knee joint as the knee bends.
When the knee becomes diseased due to arthritis or other injury the bones rub together causing pain and can even restricting the ability to walk.
No matter what the cause, one of the most effective ways to fix a damaged knee is to replace it surgically.
In this procedure, the ends of the femur, tibia and patella are replaced with a metal joint which restores freedom of movement.
Knee surgery is a major operation, but your doctor believes that the procedure –followed up with physical therapy and time to heal — will result in reduced pain and greater mobility.
So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.
