Biopsy, Cryotherapy, and Lavage

At Emirates Hospitals, advanced medical procedures such as biopsy, cryotherapy, and lavage are used for the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions, particularly related to respiratory and oncological diseases. These procedures are performed with the latest technology and under the care of experienced specialists, ensuring precise results and minimal discomfort for patients.

Biopsy at Emirates Hospitals

A biopsy is a procedure that involves the removal of a small sample of tissue from the body for examination under a microscope. Biopsy is often used to diagnose cancer, infections, or other abnormal growths in organs like the lungs, liver, and kidneys. At Emirates Hospitals, biopsies are performed using minimally invasive techniques such as bronchoscopy, endoscopy, or needle aspiration. The tissue sample obtained through the biopsy is then sent to the laboratory for detailed analysis, which helps in determining the nature of the disease and in guiding the best treatment plan.

Common types of biopsies performed include:

• Needle Biopsy
• Endoscopic Biopsy
• Bronchial Biopsy
• Liver Biopsy

Biopsy is essential for diagnosing a wide range of diseases, including cancer, and helps doctors tailor treatment strategies accordingly.

Cryotherapy at Emirates Hospitals

Cryotherapy is a procedure that uses extreme cold to treat abnormal tissues or growths, such as tumors or precancerous lesions. This treatment is commonly used for conditions like lung cancer, skin cancer, and cervical dysplasia. At Emirates Hospitals, cryotherapy is performed with precision, using a cryoprobe to target and freeze the abnormal tissue, causing it to break down and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. Cryotherapy is minimally invasive and offers several benefits over traditional surgical options, such as less pain, reduced recovery time, and fewer complications.

Applications of cryotherapy include:

• Treatment of Lung Tumors
• Cervical Dysplasia
• Skin Cancer Treatment
• Prostate Cancer
• Liver Cancer Treatment

Lavage at Emirates Hospitals

Lavage, or lavage therapy, involves the irrigation or washing out of a body cavity, such as the lungs, to clear it of debris, mucus, or infection. It is commonly used in respiratory care to treat conditions like pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, or infections. The procedure involves introducing a saline solution into the lungs or airway passages and then suctioning out the fluid along with any unwanted substances. Lavage can help improve lung function and clear infections, making it an effective treatment for chronic respiratory issues.

Applications of lavage include:

• Clearing Mucus in Respiratory Conditions
• Treating Lung Infections
• Pneumonia Management
• Cystic Fibrosis Treatment
