In this detailed short video, Dr. Vivekanand Sharma, Consultant Surgical Oncologist at Fortis Hospital, Mulund, sheds light on an important but often overlooked topic—gynecological cancers after menopause. He explains that even though menstrual cycles stop, the risk of developing cancers in organs like the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and v***a can actually increase for many women. These risks vary from patient to patient, depending on factors such as age, hormonal changes, medical history, family history, and lifestyle.

Dr. Sharma also emphasizes why post-menopausal symptoms—such as abnormal bleeding, persistent pelvic pain, bloating, or unexplained weight changes—should never be ignored. He highlights how early diagnosis significantly improves outcomes and why routine screenings remain essential even in the years after menopause.

Dr. Sharad Sharma, Senior Surgeon at Fortis Hospital, Vashi, who has over 31 years of surgical experience , describes the developments in robotic hernia surgery in this educational video.

A hernia is a common but frequently complicated surgical condition that can affect the ventral, incisional, or inguinal (groin) regions. Hernia repair has changed thanks to robotic and minimally invasive (keyhole) techniques, which can be less painful and require shorter recovery periods than traditional surgeries.

Dr. Sharma discuss about:
- What is Robotic Hernia Surgery and how it works
- Difference between traditional, laparoscopic, and robotic hernia surgeries
- Benefits of robotic surgery: less pain, smaller cuts, and faster recovery
- Types of hernias treated robotically – Inguinal, Ventral, and Incisional Hernia
- How minimal access (keyhole) techniques reduce complications
- Role of advanced mesh placement in long-term hernia repair success

In this short and informative video, Dr. Shrekha Komath Padmakshan, Associate Consultant ENT at Fortis Hospital, Kalyan, explains the surgical options available for severe sinusitis when medications and other treatments are not enough.

FESS is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat chronic or severe sinusitis. Using a thin, flexible endoscope, the surgeon removes blockages, opens the sinus passages, and restores normal drainage. FESS helps relieve nasal congestion, recurrent infections, and chronic sinus pain while preserving healthy tissue. Recovery is usually faster compared to traditional sinus surgery, and it significantly improves breathing and overall sinus health.

Dr. Rachana Tataria, Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Fortis Hospital, explains that this choice isn't just about aesthetics; it depends heavily on your general health, your personal expectations, and whether you can withstand a longer duration surgery versus a shorter one. We sit down with every patient to understand what they need before making a recommendation.

A critical factor in this decision involves future treatment plans. Dr. Tataria highlights that if radiotherapy is part of your cancer treatment, using an implant is generally not advised. This is because the combination of radiation and implants can significantly increase the risk of complications. There is no single "perfect" solution for everyone, which is why a case-by-case assessment is vital for a safe and successful recovery.

In this video, Dr. Ram Nandkishor Khare, Consultant General Surgeon at Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi, reveals how laparoscopic surgery has completely transformed modern surgical care. Unlike traditional open surgeries that require large incisions and longer recovery time, laparoscopic or “keyhole” surgery uses tiny cuts and advanced instruments to perform even major operations with remarkable precision.

This minimally invasive technique not only reduces pain, bleeding, and hospital stay, but also ensures faster healing and minimal scarring often leaving scars so faint they’re barely visible. With this modern approach, patients can return to their normal lives sooner and with greater confidence in their recovery.

In this eye-opening video, Dr. Rushabh Chheda, Consultant and Interventional Neurosurgeon at Fortis Hospital, Kalyan, answers one of the most common questions: “Is surgery for brain tumor necessary and safe?”

Dr. Chheda also talks openly about the risks, from temporary or permanent deficits in speech, movement, or comprehension, to rare complications like swelling, bleeding, infection, or seizures. But thanks to modern advances such as neuronavigation (like a GPS for the brain), neuromonitoring, and awake craniotomy, these risks are minimized like never before.

He explains how surgery can:
- Relieve dangerous pressure on the brain
- Provide critical tissue for biopsy to understand the type of tumor
- Treat benign tumors that can be completely cured
- Transform a patient’s life, restoring normal function and quality of life

Dr. Chheda also addresses the risks involved, from temporary or permanent deficits in speech, movement, or understanding, to rare complications like swelling, bleeding, infection, or seizures.

Cancer treatment does not end with surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Long-term follow-up is a critical part of cancer care and plays a key role in preventing recurrence and improving survival.

In this video, Dr Avanish Saklani, Director – Surgical Oncology at Fortis Hospital, Kalyan, explains why structured cancer follow-up is essential even after successful treatment. He highlights that cancer can recur in up to 30% of cases, particularly when regular surveillance is ignored. While early-stage cancers carry a lower risk of recurrence, disciplined follow-up remains non-negotiable.

Dr Saklani outlines a standard five-year follow-up protocol, including:
- Three-monthly follow-ups during the first two years
- Six-monthly reviews for the next three years
- Clinical examinations and blood tests
- Annual CT scans
- Site-specific screening, such as colonoscopy, to detect pre-cancerous polyps early

The video also discusses field cancerization, a condition where cancer may develop in related organs due to shared risk factors like to***co use or genetic predisposition. In certain cases, genetic testing and lifelong surveillance may be required.

Early detection through regular follow-up can prevent recurrence, detect secondary cancers at an early stage, and ultimately save lives.

In this video, Dr. Subhprakash Sanyal, ,Director Haemato-Oncology & BMT at Fortis Mulund, Mumbai clears up a major misconception: do iron supplements help every patient with anemia? The answer is a strict no. He explains that iron supplements are only effective if you have been specifically diagnosed with "Iron Deficiency Anemia." If your low hemoglobin is caused by something else, simply taking iron pills won't solve the problem and isn't the right treatment.

In fact, for other types of anemia—such as Aplastic Anemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, or Hemoglobinopathies—taking iron supplements can actually be injurious to your health. In these cases, the body is already at risk of iron overload, and adding more supplements becomes dangerous. The bottom line is to never self-medicate; only take iron supplements if your doctor has documented a true iron deficiency.
