Hydrocephalus Treatment in India. Hydrocephalus treatment is a condition in which an abnormal amount of cerebrospinal fluid is present in the cavities of the brain. Hydrocephalus is characterised by head enlargement in infants. Adults and older children experience headache, impaired vision, cognitive difficulties, loss of coordination and incontinence. Treatment is often a tube (shunt) inserted surgically into a ventricle to drain excess fluid.
Laryngectomy is the removal of the larynx and separation of the airway from the mouth, nose and esophagus.
In a total laryngectomy, the entire larynx is removed (including the vocal folds, hyoid bone, epiglottis, thyroid and cricoid cartilage and a few tracheal cartilagerings).
In a partial laryngectomy, only a portion of the larynx is removed.
Following the procedure, the person breathes through an opening in the neck known as a stoma.
This procedure is usually performed by ENT surgeon in cases of laryngeal cancer, and an individual's quality of life can be affected post-surgery.
