Maternal and foetal care centre at Apollo
Ludhiana, December 19 A CME on “High-risk pregnancy management-current concepts” was held on the hospital premises to mark the opening of this super-speciality centre. The programme was organised by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and nearly 100 obstetricians and paediatricians from the town attended the programme. The programme got under way with the welcome address by Mr Jugdiep Singh, director of the hospital. It was followed by a scientific session with focus on obstetrics and paediatrics. Dr Vaneet Kaur, senior consultant and coordinator, along with Dr Anjali Somani, senior consultant at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, highlighted the need of managing high-risk pregnancy at a centre fully equipped with latest technology for electronic and bio-chemical monitoring of foetus. Noted experts in their respective fields, including Dr A.S. Rattan, Dr Lata Bawa, Dr T.S. Gambhir, Dr Ashwini Singal, Dr N. Raizada, Dr Arun Handa and Dr Poonam Rastogi expressed their views and shared their clinical experiences in the interactive sessions. In her presentation, Dr Vaneet Kaur said a pregnancy was considered high-risk when the condition or the circumstance could affect the health of the mother or baby. About six to eight per cent of all pregnancies came under this category. “Some women know they will need specialised care during pregnancy because of a chronic medical condition, such as diabetes, a complication in a previous pregnancy, such as preterm birth, a family history of hereditary disease or birth defects, or advanced maternal age (35 or older). Although these factors are serious, enough can be done to treat and manage a high-risk pregnancy,” she said.

Surgery to tackle obesity
Doraha, December 19 A press conference was organised by Dr Gurdip Singh Sidhu. He said it was a rare and highly sophisticated surgery. Mr Harvinder Singh was also present in the conference. Explaining about the procedure, Dr Sidhu said, “The stomach is reduced in size using surgical staples. It is then connected to the middle portion of the intestine. The rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine are thus bypassed. As the patient feels full more quickly, the food intake gets reduced which means fewer calories. This leads to permanent weight loss. Dr Sidhu said Harvinder Singh was expected to lose 30 to 40 per cent weight is the first year and reach the ideal weight in around two years. “So there is a good news for morbidly obese people who are 45 kg or more above their ideal body weight. The people who have exhausted all other means of weight loss can see a new ray of hope in this surgery,” he said. Dr Sidhu said the concept of gastric bypass surgery was not new to the medical world. “Earlier, this procedure was done by making a large incision in the abdomen, but with laparoscopic approach, this has become a safer and extremely patient friendly. In the USA alone, around 1.5 lakh such surgeries were performed last year
laparoscopically. The patient can walk around the very next day and is allowed to have oral intake after two days and is discharged from the hospital in around four days.”
