Fetal Echocardiogram Treatment in India. Fetal echocardiography is almost as same as ultrasound. This procedure is used to see the functioning and structure of the unborn baby’s heart. This procedure is generally used in the second month of pregnancy (18 to 24 weeks). Fetal echocardiography is the name of the test used to diagnose cardiac conditions in the fetal stage. Cardiac defects are amongst the most common birth defects. Their diagnosis is important in the fetal stage as it might help provide an opportunity to plan and manage the baby as and when the baby is born. Not all pregnancies need to undergo fetal echo. Specific maternal and fetal conditions would indicate the need for this test.
Laryngectomy is the removal of the larynx and separation of the airway from the mouth, nose and esophagus.
In a total laryngectomy, the entire larynx is removed (including the vocal folds, hyoid bone, epiglottis, thyroid and cricoid cartilage and a few tracheal cartilagerings).
In a partial laryngectomy, only a portion of the larynx is removed.
Following the procedure, the person breathes through an opening in the neck known as a stoma.
This procedure is usually performed by ENT surgeon in cases of laryngeal cancer, and an individual's quality of life can be affected post-surgery.
