What is Cataract Surgery?
Cataract is the clouding of the natural lens inside the eye and it is usually related to the aging process. If one lives long enough, chances are that he or she will develop Cataract.
A person with an advanced stage of Cataract views the world as if through a dirty or foggy window. Glare becomes a serious problem. Reading, driving, computer work and hobbies becomes difficult and eventually impossible due to diminishing vision.

What is Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy?
A bone marrow biopsy removes a small amount of bone and a small amount of fluid and cells from inside the bone (bone marrow). A bone marrow aspiration removes only the marrow. These tests are often done to find the reason for many blood disorders and may be used to find out if cancer or infection has spread to the bone marrow.

What is Adenoidectomy?
Adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of the adenoids. They may be removed for several reasons, including impaired breathing through the nose and chronic infections or earaches. The surgery is common. It is most often done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Post-operative pain is generally minimal and prevented with an abundance of icy or cold foods.
Spicy foods, such as jalapeƱos or curries, should be avoided. The procedure can sometimes be combined with a tonsillectomy if needed.
Recovery time can range from several hours to two or three days (though as age increases so does recovery time).
