A press conference was held at Shija Auditorium, Shija Hospitals, Langol at 1:30 PM on 16th April 2009 in regard to the first ever installation Doppler Guided Haemorrhoidal Arteries Ligator (DGHAL) in Eastern India.
Dr. Kh Palin, Managing Director of Shija Hospitals mentioned on the pioneering effort of Shija Hospitals in the treatment of Piles on Eastern India as a whole. To quote some of the achievement;
1986- First 'Cryofreezing' non operative treatment of piles in Eastern India.
1997- 'Infrared Coagulator' (IRC) non operative treatment of Piles- 1st in Eastern India.
1999- 'Stappling Surgery' for III and IV degree piles for the 1st time in Manipur
2009- DGHAL for 1st time in Eastern India.
Dr. Jugindra S, Medical Superintendent of Shija Hospitals, demonstrated the use of the new Doppler Guided Haemorrhoidal Arteries Ligator (DGHAL). DGHAL is today the most advanced method of treating Haemorrhoid/ piles world over. With the installation of DGHAL, Shija Hospitals today is leading in the eastern region for the treatment of Piles. It is a non invasive procedure for the treatment of piles. DGHAL offer safe, fast and effective relief for all grades of haemorrhoids.
Under this method, a miniature Doppler ultrasound device is gently inserted into the anus, and an audible signal allows the surgeon to pinpoint the exact location of the arteries supplying blood to the haemorrhoids. The surgeon then ties off each artery (called ligation) by placing a stitch around it and knotting the ends. Because the stitch is placed not in the anus but in the lower rectum, where there are almost no pain nerves, the whole procedure is virtually painless. With the blood supply to the haemorrhoids being obstructed, the pressure in them is reduced almost immediately and they start to shrink. In just a week or two, they are no longer noticeable and the symptoms resolve.
The DGHAL method is safe for all kind of patients, especially for the HIV patients as it is a non invasive surgery wherein it involves no loss of blood.
The cost of DGHAL treatment in other centre of India is around Rs. 25, 000/- for General Ward and Rs. 30,000/- for Special Ward. Shija Hospitals will be charging Rs. 18,000/- for General Ward and Rs. 20000/- for Special Ward. As an introductory price DGHAL treatment will be charged at Rs. 15, 000/- for General ward patients and Rs. 17,000/- for Special Ward patients till 30th April 2009.
The cost is inclusive of room rent, medicines and consumables etc. To commemorate the installation there will be free screening camp from 17th April 2009 to 23rd April 2009 from 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
