Being told that you have severe aortic stenosis can raise an immediate question: what happens next? For patients who need valve replacement, the decision often comes down to TAVI vs open heart surgery. Both approaches can effectively treat a narrowed aortic valve, but they are very different procedures. The right choice depends on age, overall health, heart anatomy, surgical risk, life expectancy and the condition of the valve itself.

For men diagnosed with prostate cancer, removal of prostate may be recommended when the disease is localised and surgery is considered an appropriate treatment option. Nowadays, both laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery offer minimally-invasive approaches.

Robotic gynaecological surgery uses advanced robotic technology to allow surgeons perform procedures such as myomectomy and hysterectomy with greater precision, better visualisation, and smaller incisions. Unlike conventional gynaecological open surgeries, it helps reduce blood loss, minimise pain, makes hospital stays shorter, and support faster recovery, depending on the patient’s condition and overall health.

Few symptoms cause as much immediate concern as chest pain. The first thought for many people is, “Am I having a heart attack?” While a heart attack is one important cause, chest pain can develop for several other reasons, ranging from acid reflux and muscle strain to lung conditions and inflammation around the heart.

Orthopaedic problems can affect mobility, independence and quality of life. Persistent knee pain, shoulder stiffness, sports injuries, fractures or spinal conditions require an accurate diagnosis before treatment begins.

Gallstones are among the most common digestive conditions, often causing recurring abdominal pain, nausea and discomfort after meals. While some gallstones remain symptom-free, persistent symptoms or complications may require surgical removal of the gallbladder.

Feeling breathless after climbing a few stairs? Struggling with everyday activities that once felt effortless? While these symptoms are often linked to ageing, they may also be signs of severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart's aortic valve becomes narrowed and restricts blood flow.
