Early Detection and Prevention for Better Surgical Outcomes
At the practice of Dr. Nasir Ahmad Bhat, we emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis and preventive care as the foundation of effective treatment. Early detection of diseases, especially cancers and gastrointestinal conditions, greatly improves prognosis and often allows for less invasive treatment options.
Dr. Bhat uses advanced diagnostic techniques to thoroughly evaluate patients presenting with surgical or oncological concerns:
Clinical Examination: Comprehensive physical assessment to detect abnormalities
Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, and X-rays to visualize internal organs and guide treatment
Endoscopy & Colonoscopy: Minimally invasive tools to directly inspect the gastrointestinal tract, detect polyps, tumors, or inflammation
Biopsy: Tissue sampling using minimally invasive techniques for accurate pathological diagnosis
Blood Tests & Tumor Markers: Laboratory analysis to support diagnosis and monitor disease progression
Preoperative Evaluation: Complete assessment including ECG, pulmonary function, and other tests to ensure surgical safety
Prevention is key in surgical practice, especially to reduce the risk of disease progression or complications:
