Trans‑Arterial Chemoembolisation (TACE) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats liver tumours using a dual‑action approach. It combines targeted chemotherapy delivery directly into the tumour-feeding arteries with embolisation, where tiny particles block these vessels to cut off the tumour’s blood supply. This concentrated strategy allows the chemotherapy to act locally while depriving the tumour of […]
Vacuum‑Assisted Breast Biopsy (VABB) precisely targets non-palpable breast lesions using advanced imaging guidance. Ultrasound or mammography helps the clinician pinpoint the area of concern, while a small probe is inserted through a tiny incision. Gentle suction collects multiple tissue samples from the exact spot in a single pass, improving diagnostic accuracy. In some cases, small […]
Happy Independence Day, Zimbabwe! 🇿🇼 Today we celebrate freedom, unity, and the spirit of our nation. Wishing everyone a day filled with pride, hope, and joy.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is particularly useful for detecting neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, brain tumours, stroke, and nerve injuries. MRI allows doctors to visualise abnormalities with high precision, enabling […]
Fibroids are benign growths in the uterus that can cause heavy, prolonged, or irregular menstrual bleeding. Over time, this excessive blood loss may deplete iron stores in the body and lead to iron‑deficiency anaemia. Symptoms of anaemia can include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and feeling cold. Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) is a minimally invasive […]
Secondary infertility occurs when a woman struggles to conceive after previously giving birth. It can be caused by changes in the reproductive system after pregnancy, infections, or complications during childbirth. Even if conception was previously successful, scar tissue, blocked fallopian tubes, or hormonal imbalances can affect fertility the second time around. Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) […]
Happy World Health Day 🌍 Today we celebrate the importance of health, wellness, and access to quality care for everyone 🌿
Our warmest wishes to you this Easter 🌸
During a stenting procedure, flexible catheters and a balloon are used to reopen a blocked artery. The catheter with an uninflated balloon is guided to the site of the obstruction, then the balloon is inflated to widen the vessel. Once the artery is expanded, a permanent mesh stent is placed to maintain consistent blood flow. […]
When a mammogram or physical examination reveals a suspicious mass, an ultrasound-guided breast biopsy provides a precise, minimally invasive method to obtain tissue samples. High-frequency sound waves visualise the lesion in real time, allowing the radiologist to position the needle without major surgery. After local anaesthesia numbs the area, a tiny incision is made to […]
