A pilonidal cyst (also called a pilonidal sinus, or buttock abscess) is a subcutaneous cavity and duct system that usually develops between the buttocks, in the sacrum area (i.e., above the tailbone at the top of the buttocks). Its name derives from the Latin words ‘pilus’ (hair) and ‘nidus’ (nest), because the cyst often contains hair that for some reason becomes embedded under the skin
Hysterectomy surgery can have several indications. Basically, a distinction is made between benign and malignant lesions, and also between surgery to address increased bleeding problems or other problems.
The primary indication for TOT (transobturator tape) surgery is incontinence, i.e. involuntary loss of urine. The main cause of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a rupture of the urethra, which can be due to vaginal delivery, connective tissue disorders and increased physical exertion.
Pregnancy termination, also known as abortion, is a strictly regulated gynecological procedure that can be performed within the framework of the legislation in force.
A deviated septum is a common condition that affects two-thirds of the Hungarian population. The nasal septum is a plate of cartilage and bone that divides the nasal cavity into two equal parts. Ideally, it is centrally located, ensuring even airflow in both nasal cavities, but it often develops minor or major deviations. This can be congenital or the result of injury. If the deviation is significant, one side of the nose becomes narrower, which can cause difficulty breathing, nasal congestion and recurrent inflammation. A deviated septum can be corrected surgically, improving nasal breathing and everyday comfort.
Loop conization, also known as a cone biopsy, is a special cervical surgery that can be used for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. During the procedure, a persistent cervical wound that does not heal with conservative treatment and causes inflammatory vaginal complaints is repaired for therapeutic purposes. High-risk HPV infection or abnormal cytological results may also indicate surgery, in which case the procedure also serves diagnostic purposes. In this case, the affected area of the cervix is removed and sent for histological examination to accurately determine the condition of the cells. The histological result determines whether further treatment is necessary or whether surgery alone is sufficient to solve the problem.
There are various clinical indications for vaginoplasty. Distinctions are made between those with a weakening of the anterior vaginal wall and those with a weakening of the posterior vaginal wall, or those with a lax vaginal wall due to a tissue disorder, for which vaginoplasty may be necessary. Weakening of the vaginal wall can be caused both by giving birth and by a connective tissue disorder. Depending on the symptoms, a separate anterior and posterior wall, or a combined anterior and posterior vaginoplasty may be performed.
Endometrial ablation, also known as uterine ablation or curettage, can have several indications, either diagnostic or therapeutic. Diagnostic ablation is when we need information about the endometrium for diagnostic purposes, or when we suspect a malignancy or other lesion. A therapeutic ablation is when we remove the endometrium because of a prolonged bleeding disorder. The operation is performed under general anesthetic and is usually a one-day procedure unless the patient has a general underlying medical condition that requires several days in hospital.
Snoring affects approximately half of the adult population, primarily impairing sleep quality, but in severe cases it can also be associated with respiratory arrest (respiratory apnea), which can have serious consequences. Snoring is a symptom caused by narrowing of the upper airways during sleep. Sleep endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure in which, using a brief, surface (superficial) anesthesia, the otolaryngologist observes the snoring and possible airway obstruction sites, which helps in selecting the optimal treatment.
In the early stages of pregnancy, unfortunately the embryo can cease developing and die inside the uterus. This condition is often asymptomatic and can be diagnosed with an ultrasound scan. Two types of cases may arise during the ultrasound scan: either an empty gestation sac is detected in which the embryo has not even started to develop, or the heart function of a previously developed embryo has stopped. If the development of the fetus stops by the 12th week of pregnancy, but the body does not initiate the natural rejection of the pregnancy tissues, then surgical intervention may be necessary, depending on the doctor's recommendation and the patient's condition.
