A spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD) occurs when a pregnant woman goes into labor with or without use of drugs or techniques to induce labor, and delivers her baby in the normal manner, without forceps, vacuum extraction, or a cesarean section. Assisted vaginal delivery (AVD) occurs when a pregnant woman goes into labor with or without the use of drugs or techniques to induce labor, and requires the use of special instruments such as forceps or a vacuum extractor to deliver her baby vaginally.
Most C-sections are done under regional anesthesia, which numbs only the lower part of your body โ allowing you to remain awake during the procedure. A common choice is a spinal block, in which pain medication is injected directly into the sac surrounding your spinal cord

Vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure wherein the vasa deferentia of a man are severed, and then tied or sealed in a manner such to prevent sperm from entering the seminal stream (ejaculate). Typically done in an outpatient setting, a traditional vasectomy involves numbing (local anesthetic) of the scrotum after which 1 (or 2) small incisions are made, allowing a surgeon to gain access to the vas deferens.
This is a minimally invasive surgical technique using an endoscope to remove any type of lumbar disc herniation - prolapsed, sequestrated or migrating discs. This technique does not employ any specialist instruments.The procedure involves two 5 mm portals employed beside the midline at the appropriate level of disc prolapse and the approach is interlaminar. The success rate of this technique in my hands is more than 90%

An abscess is a collection of pus. Pus is a thick fluid that usually contains white blood cells, dead tissue and germs (bacteria). The usual cause of an abscess is an infection with bacteria. Certain bacteria are more likely to be 'pus-forming' as they make chemicals (toxins) that can damage the body's tissues.

The placement of a percutaneous expandable biliary endoprosthesis was first reported in 1985 by Carrasco et al. in a canine model,[1] and the endoscopic placement of expandable metal stents to relieve biliary strictures in patients was first described in 1989.[2,3] Over the past two decades, the endoscopic approach to biliary endoprosthesis placement has largely supplanted the percutaneous approach. Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) have traditionally been used for palliation of obstructive jaundice in patients with unresectable pancreaticobiliary tumors. However, SEMS are increasingly being used in patients with resectable cancers[4] and benign biliary strictures.[5] Uncovered SEMS (uSEMS) have been shown to have longer patency periods than plastic stents when used for malignant biliary obstruction and to be cost effective if the patient's life expectancy is greater than 4โ6 months.[6โ8] The common causes of malignant biliary obstruction are pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma.[9โ11] Biliary drainage prior to surgical resection is controversial; several investigators have reported it to be beneficial owing to the improved tissue healing with reduced bilirubin levels,[12,13] but others have also reported its deleterious effects secondary to the additional intervention..
