Paracentesis is a medical procedure that involves the insertion of a needle through the abdominal wall to remove excess fluid from the peritoneal cavity (the space in your abdomen that holds your organs). This procedure is typically performed to diagnose or treat conditions that lead to fluid accumulation, known as ascites. Ascites can occur due to various underlying health issues, including liver disease, heart failure, infections, and certain cancers.
A Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiogram (PTC) is a specialized medical imaging procedure that allows healthcare providers to visualize the bile ducts within the liver. This minimally invasive technique is a procedure done through the skin using small instruments, rather than surgery. Here, a thin needle is carefully inserted through the skin into the liver under imaging guidance. After the dye is injected, X-ray images are taken to visualize the bile ducts. These images help detect blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities.
Polypectomy is a procedure used to remove polyps—abnormal tissue growths that can develop on the lining of various organs, most commonly the colon, stomach, and nasal passages. These growths can vary in size and shape, and while many polyps are benign (non-cancerous), some have the potential to develop into cancer over time. The primary purpose of a polypectomy is to eliminate these growths to prevent complications, including cancer, and to alleviate any symptoms they may be causing.
