PEDIATRIC CARDIAC SURGERY
The two types of heart disease in children are "congenital" and "acquired." Congenital heart disease (also known as a congenital heart defect) is present at birth. Some defects in this category are patent ductus arteriosis, atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects. Acquired heart disease, which develops during childhood, includes Kawasaki disease, rheumatic fever and infective endocarditis.
Congenital Heart Defects in Children Fact Sheet
What is a congenital heart defect?Congenital heart defects are structural problems with the heart present at birth. They result when a mishap occurs during heart development soon after conception and often before the mother is aware that she is pregnant. Defects range in severity from simple problems, such as "holes" between chambers of the heart, to very severe malformations, such as complete absence of one or more chambers or valves.

Since heart failure has different causes and outcomes, it's important to recognize how it's diagnosed, treated and even cured in younger children. Heart failure in children occurs mainly because of the these reasons:

LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY INDIA -FORTIS HEALTHCARE
LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY INDIA
A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a medical procedure involving the surgical removal of the gallbladder. During a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a tube carrying a video camera is inserted through an incision in the navel, making laparoscopic cholecystectomy quicker and less invasive than traditional gallbladder surgery. Patients whose doctors utilize laparoscopic cholecystectomy generally have shorter recovery times and less incision pain than those using standard abdominal surgery. Laparoscopic now represents 90% of the cholecystectomies performed, and is the most common general surgery procedure.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has its own pitfalls.There are situations where abdominal surgery is inevitable and where doesn't seem to be the solution for the hour. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy improperly performed by negligent physicians causes serious complications, usually through bile duct damage.Moreover, laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be unsuitable for some patients, including pregnant women, and those with previous abdominal surgery. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy may also be ruled out by a doctor if the candidate has other medical complications.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is an exciting development, but it must be properly executed. A cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. The two basic types of this procedure are open cholecystectomy and the laparoscopic approach.

Cardiac Bypass Surgery - Bypass to Health
A Cardiac bypass surgery is an operation to restore the flow of blood through the arteries that supply blood to the heart, when a blockage or partial blockage occurs in these arteries.It is a surgery in which a healthy blood vessel segment is used to take a different path around a blocked artery. It is most commonly performed to bypass a blocked coronary artery that supplies blood to the heart but may be done in other body locations.
The arteries that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients are known as the coronary arteries. The word "coronary" means a crown, and is the name given to these arteries that circle the heart like a crown. The narrowing of the arteries of the heart is known as coronary artery disease, which is the most common form of heart disease.
