Beyond Surgery: New-Age Vascular Treatments Gain Ground in India
The hospital describes minimally invasive vascular and pain procedures, including varicose-vein treatment and genicular artery embolization.
Pain is not the only problem requiring specialists.
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], September 21: Vascular diseases (diseases affecting blood vessels) affect millions of people. These include problems such as swelling of legs, damage to the skin, ulcers, and overall poor quality of life. Over the last few decades, only surgery was a solution. However, just like pain management, vascular surgery is changing. Non-surgical procedures are gradually replacing the more invasive surgical procedures.The Evolution of Vascular Treatment
In Ahmedabad, India, one of the country’s most prominent experts offers these latest therapies. Three decades ago, treatment for vascular conditions entailed surgery. Deep cuts. In-patient care. Extended recovery time. Often, patients preferred to suffer from symptoms than undergo surgery. But that was before technological developments made it possible for interventional radiologists to come up with image-guided treatments for vascular problems without invasive surgery. Today, experts are able to:- Perform medical adhesive therapy for varicose veins, instead of removing them
- Treat chronic venous disease in a non-invasive way
- Conduct treatment for vascular malformations without resorting to surgery
- Cure a range of vascular diseases through the use of imaging techniques
Who Is Dr. Mohal Banker?
Dr. Banker is not simply an expert on pain management; he is a board-certified Interventional Radiologist with more than two decades of experience in all forms of vascular intervention. His training by Dr. Wayne Yakes from the USA provided him with exposure to modern vascular techniques. His specialized training for vascular malformations gave him extensive knowledge of complicated vascular conditions. But what differentiates him is his technique; he has developed the use of minimally invasive techniques in India for a variety of conditions, including joint pain and vascular disorders.More Than Procedure
One thing that sheds light on who Dr. Banker is: He maintains blogs that cover topics related to human psychology and emotions. He maintains a blog called “Bankers Notes” which is a travelblog aimed at Indian tourism. Why is this important in a medical setting? Because it proves that he is truly invested in helping people as a whole, not just doing a procedure. He understands that chronic pain and vascular disease are not just physically taxing, but emotionally challenging as well. This attitude influences his medical practice in the following way – he does not treat his patients as if he were performing an operation on them. They are individuals that need a holistic approach.A Comprehensive Suite of Services
Dr. Banker’s areas of expertise include:- Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for chronic knee pain
- Trans arterial Micro Embolization (TAME) for chronic heel pain
- Joint Embolization for knees, shoulders, and joint pains
- PRP & NANOFAT for knee joints
- Vascular Interventions for circulatory and vascular problems
- Treatment of Vascular Malformations (specifically trained by Dr. Yakes)
