The National Integrated Medical Association (NIMA) today organised
a seminar on “Infertility and neuro surgery” under the
Continued Medical Education (CME) project.
Dr Surendra Gupta, secretary, NIMA and Dr Rajesh Thaper welcomed
the guest speakers, Dr Rajesh Pasricha, Dr Kumud Pasricha and Dr
Shubhang Aggarwal, all from Satyam Hospital, Jalandhar. He appreciated
the NIMA doctors for attending the seminar in maximum number. He
urged NIMA doctors to guide infertile couples about the scientific
IVF /Test Tube Baby techniques.
Dr Pasricha in his talk on ‘Advances in neurosurgery,”
discussed the latest surgical procedures. He said that timely neurosurgery’
could save many lives, in otherwise life threatening. He advocated
surgical intervention in Trigeminal Neuralgia, as surgery could
put a permanent lid on this otherwise severe painful diseases. He
shared his many surgical feats with NIMA doctors.
Dr Shubahng Aggarwal spoke on Arthroscpy and Joint Replacement
Surgery. He discussed the latest implants being used in replacement
surgery, not only of HIP or knee joints, but of elbow, wrist, metatarsal
and ankle joints also. He showed how a simple implant could save
people from being crippled and handicap.
Dr Pasricha dealt with the infertile couple evaluation, investigation,
and personalised treatment protocol. She said that IVF cycle should
be started early in women with polycystic ovaries (PCOS). As ovulation
inducing oral medications can finish up all the eggs, IVF surely
benefits in such cases. She advocated IVF in low-sperm count cases,
but ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) in very-low sperm count
couples.
She said that frozen semen storage was ideal in NRI people, where
males were usually abroad and ladies could conceive even while staying
back in India. Seman sample of the husband stored in a frozen state
could an be used later on, she said.
