SHREYAS LASER CENTER Shreyas Laser Centre at the Dr. Chhaya’s ENT Hospital is the Very First High-tech Laser Center for Ear, Nose & Throat Surgeries in Jamnagar. General understanding about Lasers: Laser means - Light amplification by simulated emission of radiation. The rays which are directed in the same direction with the same velocity meet at one point is called a Laser. The rays of sun are spread in the whole earth. But when these rays are directed through a magnifying lens, the underlying piece of paper gets burnt off. In the same way, when the rays of a Laser machine are directed at one point, it can burn away the underlying Lesion. Advantages of Laser Surgeries: 1. One can remove only the needful part of a Lesion/ Tumor. 2. It is a bloodless procedure with minimal amount of pain. 3. Wound healing occurs very rapidly & nicely. Various Surgeries which can be done by Lasers & their Information Because of severe tobacco chewing, the mouth of the patient becomes very narrow and opens only up to 1-2 fingers wide at a very young age. Normally mouth should open up to 4 fingers wide, but when it reduces to 1 of 2 fingers wide, the patient experiences difficulty in even chewing a piece of Roti/Chapati. With Laser Surgery, the mouth opening can be increased up to 1 finger wide and with systemic treatment the mouth can be opened up to 2 fingers wide. With Lasers, vocal cord nodules, vocal cord polyps & Early Cancers of the vocal cords can be removed with great precession & meticulousness (the cancer of vocal cords should be diagnosed at an early stage) Frequent ulcerations in the mouth are called apthous ulcers & many a times, those who are in the habit of chewing tobacco & pan, have a tendency of frequently having these ulcers in the mouth, or ulcers due to a drug reaction. By the Laserization the ulcers can be cured. There are certain places in the oral cavity & nasal cavity, where it is very difficult for an instrument to reach & sometimes even the touch of an instrument can cause profuse bleeding. Laser biopsy helps to stop all the feeding vessels & take a biopsy with precision & without any pain. Tonsillectomy done with Laser has almost no bleeding, very minimal pain & a very good healing. Patients having problems of snoring can be operated with Laser & this gives a very good result. Cauterization (electric or chemical) of the nasal turbinate for allergy, is a very old treatment because with this procedure, around 1 - 2 mm of tissue is burnt (which is not necessary) by Laser therapy, only 300 mill micron part is burnt & this is very effective.
