A complete Cardiac evaluation and treatment determines whether your heart is in perfect working condition and whether it needs any preventive treatment or permanent treatment. Based on these reports, further surgical procedures are determined.
Cardiac Catheterization is the process in which a catheter (a tiny tube) is inserted into the vessel of the heart to examine blood flow and to see how well the heart is pumping. It can also be used to check on pressure, blood flow, collect blood samples, examine arteries and more.
Angioplasty is the process of widening or unblocking an artery by inserting tiny uninflated balloons into it and then inflating the balloons. The balloons are removed after inflation.
Coronary angiography is the procedure of taking an X-ray of the heart . This is done by inserting a catheter into the arteries or the chamber of the heart that needs to be X-rayed followed by a contrast medium or dye which is visible in X-ray. The X-ray pictures are called angiograms.
Coronary Angioplasty is the procedure done to treat the narrow (stetonic) coronary arteries of the heart which occur due to the formation of cholesterol laden plates in the artery.
A Balloon Valve Plasty is a surgical procedure to repair valves of the heart using a balloon.
Pacemaker Implantation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an incision is made in the collar bone. A pocket is made in the tissue over the muscle and pocket in the collar bone in which the pace maker is held. Leads from the pacemaker in the pocket are led through the vein in the side of the pocket and are led to the heart.
Peripheral angioplasty is the clearing of or opening up of blood vessels apart from coronary arteries. This is done using an uninflated balloon. This procedure is used to widen arteries that supply blood to the legs and below.
Renal Angioplasty is the procedure done to remove blockage of the renal artery, the artery that supplies the kidney with blood. After the procedure is over, a stent is inserted into the artery to keep it open.
Coronary Artery Stenting is the process of inserting a stent in the coronary artery after clearing the artery so that the artery doesn’t collapse and get blocked again. Vydehi does this using biodegradable stents as opposed to usual metal stents.
This procedure is done when one of a septum of the heart is ruptured. To repair the septum, a device is planted the ruptured area.
Permanent Pacemaker Implementation involves placing the pacemaker in the upper part of the chest. The lead to heart from the pacemaker is lead through a vein. The generator is attached to these leads.
Catherization Studies for Congenital Heart Disease is when catheterization is done children to confirm the need for further operation on their heart and an angiogram is taken.
(Off Pump Coronary Bypass (OPCAB) & Cardio Pulmonary Bypass (CPB)
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting is a surgical procedure to bypass Coronary Artery by grafting an artery or vein from another part of the body to bypass a blocked coronary artery thus improving blood supply to the heart muscle.
Valvular Heart Disease is the procedure to correct valve stenosis (narrowing of the hearts valves) or valvular regurgitation (when the flows back into the valve). Depending on the severity of the disease, treatment is prescribed. If necessary, the valve is replaced by a mechanical or bio-prosthetic valve.
Congenital Paediatric Cardiac Surgery is the correction surgical procedure to treat a child’s heart with defect from birth. This defect can be in the structure or in the great vessels of the heart.
Congenital Adult Cardiac Surgery is the correction surgical procedure to treat an adult’s heart with defect from birth.
Aneurysm Surgery is the surgical procedure to remove an aneurysm which can lead to various other compilations. This is done using an artificial graft.
Beating Heart Surgery for Coronary Artery Disease is a method to surgically rectify Coronary Artery Disease (when plaque builds up in the coronary artery) while the heart is not arrested (stopped and replaced by a heart lung machine) but is still beating.
Lung Surgery is a surgical procedure to remove defecting lobes, cyst formations or parts affecting pneumonia from the lungs.
Neonatal Cardiac Surgery is the treatment of the great vessels and the valves of the hearts of children below one and a half years of age.
Vascular surgeries are surgeries done on the vascular systems (blood vessels) to repair stenosis in them by grafting a mechanical substitute in place of the stenosis.
Paediatric heart surgery involves repairing heart defects for the child’s long-term wellbeing. Depending on the severity of the condition, cardiologists may perform surgery immediately or wait for a few more months or years after birth.
Heart transplantations are performed when the heart ceases to function up to its optimal capacity. The success rate of heart transplantation in adults and children is on par with international standards.

Our team of specialists is adept at handling a broad spectrum of cases related to the kidneys. We customise the treatments after thorough discussions with the specialists and patients to provide complete treatment.
Chronic kidney disease decreases the kidney’s ability to keep you healthy. The two principal causes of chronic kidney disease are Diabetes mellitus and high Blood Pressure. Including the two, several other conditions can harm the kidneys.
Your doctor will investigate if you have any risk factors for chronic kidney disease. These include:
You should visit your doctor and get tested frequently. Your check-up should include:
Most people do not have any severe symptoms until their kidney disease gets worse. However, some of the indications of CKD are:
You should visit your doctor or clinic for regular check-ups and tests for chronic kidney disease. You should also ask your doctor what you can do to lower your chances of developing kidney disease. Your doctor may tell you to:
Most likely, early detection and treatment can often slow or stop chronic kidney disease. How well your treatment can achieve this goal depends on:
Worsening chronic kidney disease can lead to kidney failure. Only two treatments for kidney failure are dialysis or a kidney transplant. These treatments can help you stay healthy and continue your daily activities. Dialysis removes wastes and excess fluid from your blood. Two forms of dialysis are haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. A kidney transplant is an operation to place a new kidney in your body to take over the work of your failed kidneys. The kidney may come from someone who has died or a living donor (usually a close relative).

The Department of Medical and Pediatric Oncology is the most recent addition to the Vydehi Institute of Oncology and Research center. It was started to provide affordable cancer chemotherapy for all sections of the population.
We understand cancer requires a novel approach towards patients and families. Cancer involves a multidisciplinary tumour board to optimize care and treatment delivery. The specialists, hence, work with empathy when optimizing the treatment for their patients.
The department offers both curative and palliative chemotherapy services for both adult and paediatric patients. The treatment involves diagnosis, staging the diseases, customizing the treatment plan, and treating cancer accordingly. Our specialists plan evidence-based, internationally approved cancer treatments.
Paediatric oncology is a separate specialization since it involves treating children. The cancer treatment is tailor-made for children to help them cope with the stressful effects of the treatment on their lives. To ease their burden, we have play therapies for children where they can express themselves.
The Medical Oncology department plans to establish a comprehensive peripheral blood stem cell transplant facility. This will provide an affordable state-of-the-art treatment for diseases such as lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and certain leukaemia’s, as well as certain paediatric malignancies.
The Department of Radiation Oncology commissioned the state-of-the-art machine, the laser guarded Image guided Radiation therapy (IGRT) and respiratory gating along with IMRT-the intensity modulated radiation therapy, one of its own in the Asia in 2007.This highly specialized department provides services to the treatment of Brain, Head and Neck, Thoracic, Abdominal, Genito-urinary and Extremity tumors. The facility was upgraded to VMAT (Volumetric modulated Arc Therapy- Rapid Arc) in February 2013.
The second linear accelerator machine, Versa HD -Stereotactic Precision Radiotherapy unit (Triple F) was inaugurated on 6th February 2017. Featuring high precision beam shaping and tumor targeting, Versa HD is designed with new capabilities to provide a faster and more accurate treatment for a wider range of cancers. Versa HD offers both conventional and stereotactic treatments. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) are important alternatives to invasive surgery, especially for patients who are unable to undergo surgery and for tumors and abnormalities that are hard to reach and located close to vital organs.
Brachytherapy is commonly used as an effective treatment for cervical, prostate, breast, head & neck and skin cancer and can also be used to treat tumors in many other body sites. Brachytherapy can be used alone or in combination with external radiation therapy. As the radiation sources can be precisely positioned at the tumor treatment site, brachytherapy enables a high dose of radiation to be applied to a small area. We offer MRI based volume optimized intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer using MRI compatible applicators.-Treatment we offer are –ICBT , ISBT , SORBO , ILRT.
Total Skin Electron Radiation Therapy (TSET) in Bangalore at Vydehi, a specialized treatment for lymphoma where the entire skin is treated with electrons. The technique is time consuming to develop and carry out on routine basis. A rigorous quality assurance program needs to be the part of treatment and hence it is being offered at very few selected centers including ours.

In 3DCRT, a computed tomography (CT) scan is used to design a radiation therapy treatment. The CT scans help us determine the radiation target volumes and critical structures. The radiation beams from different directions are designed to match the shape of the tumour. This helps to deliver a conformal dose of radiation to the tumour while sparing the normal tissue surrounding the tumour as much as possible. Different cancer types have seen improved outcomes from 3D conformal radiation therapy, including brain cancer, head and neck cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, and prostate cancer.
IMRT uses advanced computer programs to calculate and deliver radiation to cancer cells. We recommend it for tumours that are located close to critical organs and tissues in the body. Using this method, higher and more effective doses of radiation can be given while limiting damage to the healthy tissues and organs. It also increases the chance for a cure and lessens the likelihood of side effects. The sites where IMRT is preferred are prostate, head and neck, lung, brain, and gastrointestinal. VMAT is another latest technology that has revolutionised radiation therapy. The technology improves dose conformity while significantly shortening treatment times. It delivers treatments two to eight times faster than other dynamic treatments available to date. It also increases precision – creating a winning combination that enables physicians to improve caring standards and treat more patients.
Traditional forms of radiation therapy expose extensive areas of normal tissue to unnecessary radiation. This leads to unacceptable side effects, especially in critical areas like the brain and lungs. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body radiation therapy (SBRT) are advanced and modernised forms of radiation therapy. They help to deliver high dose radiation to a small, focused area. It minimises the effect on nearby organs and reduces treatment-related side effects. SRS and SRBT are a boon, especially for patients who cannot undergo surgery and for tumours and abnormalities located close to vital organs. SRS delivers a great dose of radiation on a single day. SBRT has a fractionated treatment schedule. SRS is used to treat brain tumours, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and functional disorders. SBRT is used to treat malignant small-to-medium size tumours in lungs, liver, spine, prostate, etc. One more benefit of these treatments over conventional radiation treatment is that the treatment durations are much shorter. Where two-year success rates for regular treatment vary from 30 to 40 per cent, the success rates for SBRT range from 80 to 90 percent in some tumours.
Our centre was the first to launch laser guarded image-guided radiation therapy in Southeast Asia. Using Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) during radiation therapy improves the precision and accuracy of treatment delivery. At Vydehi, we use cone-beam CT (CBCT). We use CBCT with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), SRS, or SBRT, an advanced mode of high-precision radiotherapy.
Vydehi was the first to commission respiratory gating in India. The real-time Position Management™ (RPM) system allows clinicians to correlate tumour position in relation to the patient’s respiratory cycle. The system measures the patient’s respiratory pattern and range of motion using an infrared tracking camera and a reflective marker to display them as a waveform. Then the gating thresholds are set when the tumour is in the desired portion of the respiratory cycle. These thresholds determine when the gating system turns the treatment beam on and off. The RPM system facilitates the treatment of the lungs, liver, and pancreas, and helps minimise the dose to the heart in breast treatments.
Total skin electron radiation therapy (TSET): This treatment is delivered to a type of lymphoma. The entire skin is treated with electrons. The technique is time-consuming to develop and carry out routinely. A rigorous quality assurance program needs to be the part of treatment. Hence, it is being offered at very few selected centres.
Radiotherapy, where a sealed radiation source is placed inside or next to the area requiring treatment, is brachytherapy. Oncologists commonly use it as an effective treatment for cervical, prostate, breast, head & neck, and skin cancer. It can also treat tumours in many other body sites. Brachytherapy can be used alone or in combination with external radiation therapy. As we can precisely position the radiation sources at the tumour treatment site, brachytherapy enables a high dose of radiation to be applied to a small area.
Vydehi is one of the very few centres in the country that offers MRI based volume optimised intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer using MRI compatible applicators.
Medical use of x-rays for diagnosis and treatment has proven to be immensely beneficial to the society at large. Vydehi Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre, Bangalore is licensed to operate various x-ray and gamma ray radiation generating equipments.

The Surgical Oncology Department is dedicated to providing advanced, multidisciplinary cancer care. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a team of highly skilled surgeons, our department offers a comprehensive range of services designed to treat complex malignancies with precision and care.
Our services extend to the surgical management of a wide range of cancers, including but not limited to gastrointestinal, head and neck, gynecological, thoracic, and soft tissue tumors. Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan developed in collaboration with our multidisciplinary team, ensuring a holistic approach to cancer care.
Our department emphasizes patient-centered care, ensuring that each individual receives tailored support throughout their treatment journey. From preoperative counseling to postoperative rehabilitation, our team is committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive care.
By integrating cutting-edge technology with a patient-focused approach, the Surgical Oncology Department is at the forefront of cancer treatment, offering hope and improved outcomes for patients battling cancer.
We utilize the latest in robotic-assisted surgical systems (Da Vinci X), allowing our surgeons to perform intricate procedures with unparalleled accuracy. Robotic surgery offers benefits such as smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times, making it a preferred option for many oncologic surgeries.
Our department is a leader in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, providing patients with a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. Using advanced 3D laparoscopy and fluorescence-guided techniques like Indocyanine Green (ICG), we enhance the safety and efficacy of tumor resections, lymph node dissections, and other oncologic procedures.
A 3D laparoscopy unit enhances minimally invasive surgery by providing surgeons with a stereoscopic view, offering greater depth perception and spatial orientation than traditional 2D systems. This technology is particularly valuable in surgical oncology, where precise dissection and identification of anatomical structures are critical.
Indocyanine Green (ICG) is a fluorescent dye used in conjunction with 3D laparoscopy to improve visualization during surgery. When injected, ICG binds to plasma proteins and emits fluorescence under near-infrared light, allowing for the real-time identification of blood vessels, lymph nodes, and tumor margins. This combination enhances the accuracy of tumor resections, lymph node mapping, and identification of critical structures, leading to better surgical outcomes in oncology patients.
We offer HIPEC as a specialized treatment for patients with peritoneal surface and advanced ovarian malignancies. This innovative procedure involves the direct application of heated chemotherapy agents into the abdominal cavity during surgery, targeting residual cancer cells more effectively while minimizing systemic toxicity.
Our Surgical Oncology Department provides intraoperative frozen section analysis, a critical service that allows for real-time evaluation of tissue samples during surgery. This technique involves rapidly freezing and slicing a specimen, which is then examined under a microscope to determine if cancerous cells are present. Frozen section analysis is particularly valuable for ensuring clear surgical margins, helping surgeons make immediate decisions about the extent of tissue removal needed. By offering this service, we enhance the precision of oncologic surgeries, reduce the need for additional procedures, and improve overall patient outcomes by ensuring that the most effective surgical approach is taken in real-time.
Our Surgical Oncology Department is highly proficient in performing sentinel lymph node biopsies, a minimally invasive procedure crucial for accurate cancer staging, particularly in breast cancer and melanoma. This technique involves identifying, removing, and examining the first lymph node(s) to which cancer cells are likely to spread from the primary tumor. By focusing on these sentinel nodes, we can determine the presence or absence of metastasis with precision, minimizing the need for more extensive lymph node dissections. Sentinel lymph node biopsy helps reduce complications such as lymphedema, while providing essential information to guide further treatment decisions, making it a cornerstone of personalized cancer care in our department.
Our Surgical Oncology Department is renowned for its expertise in limb salvage surgeries, a critical option for patients with bone and soft tissue tumors. These complex procedures aim to remove the tumor while preserving the limb’s function and appearance, offering an alternative to amputation. Our surgeons collaborate with orthopedic specialists to design individualized surgical plans, often incorporating advanced techniques like custom prosthetics and reconstructive surgery to optimize outcomes. Limb salvage not only improves the patient’s quality of life but also enhances long-term mobility and functionality.
We run one of the largest limb salvage surgery programs in Karnataka and the country. Our ties with Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited, a Ministry of Defence organization, allow us to procure Titanium Prostheses for extremities.
Our Surgical Oncology Department offers partial nephrectomy, a kidney-sparing procedure ideal for patients with localized kidney tumors. This surgery involves the removal of only the cancerous part of the kidney, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. By maintaining kidney function, partial nephrectomy reduces the risk of chronic kidney disease and the need for dialysis, providing a significant benefit over radical nephrectomy, which removes the entire kidney. Utilizing advanced techniques, including robotic and laparoscopic approaches, our surgeons ensure precise tumor excision with minimal impact on the surrounding tissues, leading to quicker recovery and excellent long-term outcomes for patients.
Our Surgical Oncology Department is skilled in performing partial laryngectomy, a voice-preserving surgery for patients with early to moderately advanced laryngeal cancer. This procedure involves removing only the cancerous portion of the larynx (voice box), while retaining as much of the normal laryngeal structure as possible. Partial laryngectomy allows patients to maintain their ability to speak and swallow, significantly improving their quality of life compared to a total laryngectomy. Our surgeons utilize meticulous techniques to ensure complete tumor removal while preserving essential functions, offering a balanced approach to cancer treatment that prioritizes both oncologic control and functional outcomes.
Our Surgical Oncology Department excels in Oncoplastic breast surgery, an innovative approach that combines cancer removal with plastic surgery techniques to achieve optimal oncologic and cosmetic outcomes. This procedure allows for the removal of breast tumors while simultaneously reconstructing the breast to maintain its natural appearance and symmetry. Oncoplastic surgery is particularly beneficial for patients with larger tumors or those requiring significant tissue removals, as it minimizes deformities and enhances aesthetic results. Our team of skilled surgeons works closely with each patient to tailor the surgery to their individual needs, ensuring both effective cancer treatment and a preserved quality of life.
Our Surgical Oncology Department specializes in microvascular reconstruction, a cutting-edge technique used to restore function and appearance after the removal of head and neck tumors. These procedures involve transplanting tissue, along with its blood supply, from one part of the body to another to reconstruct complex defects. This approach is essential for preserving vital functions such as speech, swallowing, and facial aesthetics. Our team of expert surgeons employs advanced microsurgical techniques to ensure precise blood vessel connections, leading to better healing, reduced complications, and improved quality of life for patients undergoing head and neck cancer treatment.
Our Surgical Oncology Department offers comprehensive whole breast reconstruction services, providing patients with options to restore the breast’s appearance following mastectomy. This procedure can be performed using autologous tissue (from the patient’s own body), implants, or a combination of both, depending on the patient’s preferences and medical needs. Whole breast reconstruction is an integral part of the healing process, helping patients regains a sense of normalcy and confidence after breast cancer surgery. Our team of expert surgeons collaborates closely with each patient to create a personalized reconstruction plan, focusing on achieving natural-looking results that enhance the overall quality of life.
The Department of Radiation Oncology commissioned the state-of-the-art machine, the laser guarded Image guided Radiation therapy (IGRT) and respiratory gating along with IMRT-the intensity modulated radiation therapy, one of its own in the Asia in 2007.This highly specialized department provides services to the treatment of Brain, Head and Neck, Thoracic, Abdominal, Genito-urinary and Extremity tumors. The facility was upgraded to VMAT (Volumetric modulated Arc Therapy- Rapid Arc) in February 2013.
The second linear accelerator machine, Versa HD -Stereotactic Precision Radiotherapy unit (Triple F) was inaugurated on 6th February 2017. Featuring high precision beam shaping and tumor targeting, Versa HD is designed with new capabilities to provide a faster and more accurate treatment for a wider range of cancers. Versa HD offers both conventional and stereotactic treatments. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) are important alternatives to invasive surgery, especially for patients who are unable to undergo surgery and for tumors and abnormalities that are hard to reach and located close to vital organs.
Brachytherapy is commonly used as an effective treatment for cervical, prostate, breast, head & neck and skin cancer and can also be used to treat tumors in many other body sites. Brachytherapy can be used alone or in combination with external radiation therapy. As the radiation sources can be precisely positioned at the tumor treatment site, brachytherapy enables a high dose of radiation to be applied to a small area. We offer MRI based volume optimized intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer using MRI compatible applicators.-Treatment we offer are –ICBT , ISBT , SORBO , ILRT.
Total Skin Electron Radiation Therapy (TSET) in Bangalore at Vydehi, a specialized treatment for lymphoma where the entire skin is treated with electrons. The technique is time consuming to develop and carry out on routine basis. A rigorous quality assurance program needs to be the part of treatment and hence it is being offered at very few selected centers including ours.
