Significance of Surgical intervention
Surgical intervention encompasses medical procedures using instruments to treat injuries, diseases, or abnormalities. It's considered for severe conditions like advanced osteonecrosis, large kidney stones, and rectal prolapse when conservative treatments fail. While effective, surgery carries risks, including complications, pain, and high costs, potentially causing patient discomfort. Alternatives like Ayurveda or Ksharasutra therapy are sometimes explored. Ultimately, surgical decisions depend on the condition's severity, treatment response, and patient factors, with the goal of optimal healing.
