The Future of Surgery: Precision with No Incisions
Surgical procedures can be very invasive. However, at Karuna Medical College Hospital, we offer an innovative way of performing surgery in our Interventional Radiology department. Using the latest diagnostic techniques such as X-ray, CT scan, and ultrasound, our specialists conduct complicated operations with the help of a small nick made in the skin, which usually does not exceed a size of a pinhead.
It is “surgery without the scalpel,” designed to get you back to your life faster, with less pain and minimal scarring.

Our Specialized Services
Vascular Interventions (Cardiovascular)
Using your body’s own “highways” (blood vessels) to open blockages and manage flow.

Varicose Veins: Non-invasive laser and foams are used for minimally invasive treatment of painful, swollen veins.

Interventional Oncology (Cancer)
Delivering treatments right to the tumor while leaving the healthy areas untouched.

Why Go for Interventional Radiology at Karuna?
Minimal Invasion: Most treatments need just a local anesthetic. No large sutures or big scars will be seen.
Quick Healing: Most of our IR patients can go back home on the same day or the next day, resuming their jobs within a few days rather than weeks.
Less Danger: Since we do not make large incisions, the chances of infections and excessive blood loss are considerably less than in conventional surgery.
Precision Targeting: The physicians at Karuna Hospitals use “real-time GPS” to reach the precise location needing attention without harming any healthy cells around it.
