 | Gleneagles Head & Neck Tumour Centre has adopted a rare cancer treatment approach in Hong Kong. Leveraging the use of brachytherapy and surgical removal, the Centre has recently performed a treatment which aims to cure the disease for a patient who was twice assessed unsuitable for surgery.
The Centre's multidisciplinary team conducts clinical assessments and devises the most appropriate treatment plan based on each patient's condition. The team also includes a designated nurse who serves as a clinical case manager to assist patients in coordinating various cross-department examinations, surgeries and treatment arrangements, offering patients with extra peace of mind. 🔎Click here to learn more about treatment and patient's sharing 港怡頭頸腫瘤治療中心醫療團隊採用本港罕有的合併治療方案，以近距離體內放射治療（內電）配合切除手術，成功為兩度被評估為不宜接受手術的頭頸癌復發病人進行根治性治療。 中心的跨專科團隊會根據每名病人情況作出評估並制訂最適切的治療方案。團隊成員更包括由護士擔任的臨床個案經理，專責協助病人統籌各項跨部門的檢查、治療及手術安排，並提供專業護理知識，讓病人省卻煩惱，安心接受治療。 🔎按此閱讀相關媒體報導以了解有關治療方案及病人的抗癌過程 | |  | Gleneagles' column on Sky Post

Hip arthritis is a hip condition characterised by progressive wearing away of the cartilage of the joint. The most common cause is avascular necrosis. In addition, immune system disorders and post-hip trauma are also part of the causes of hip arthritis.
In the early stages, patients may experience pain when walking long distances or climbing stairs, such pain may be relieved by painkillers. However, as the condition worsens, the patients may require wheelchair assistance which can significantly impact daily lives. Patients with severe hip arthritis may have to rely on a large amount of pain killers. The more painkillers they take, the more side effects they may encounter. In such cases, total hip replacement is often recommended, as advised by Dr Chan Ping-keung, Clinical Associate Professor of Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, School of Clinical Medicine at The University of Hong Kong, Co-Director of Joint Replacement Centre and Specialist in Orthopaedics & Traumatology at Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong. Traditional hip replacement is a complex surgical procedure that involves the usage of two-dimensional X-ray images to assess the extent of the entire joint erosion. However, nowadays, patients can undergo hip replacement assisted by robotic arm. Its preoperative three-dimensional computer scans aid doctors in understanding the location and extent of joint erosion, the use of robotic arm in surgery can enhance surgical accuracy and safety. 🔎Click here to watch a video (*in Cantonese only) in which Dr Chan Ping-keung shares the treatment options for hip degeneration, the benefits of robotic arm-assisted hip joint replacement and the post-surgical rehabilitation process.
了解機械臂輔助全髖關節置換手術
髖關節炎是一種髖關節疼痛病症，髖關節軟骨日漸磨損為其典型特徵。髖關節炎最常見的成因是俗稱「骨枯」的缺血性關節炎。除此之外，免疫系統疾病及創傷後遺症亦是髖關節炎的其他成因。
髖關節炎患者初期於長距離步行或上落樓梯時可能會感到痛楚，服用止痛藥雖可以紓緩病徵，減少疼痛。然而，隨病情愈發嚴重，患者有可能需要使用輪椅代步，影響日常生活。當嚴重髖關節炎患者疼痛情況加劇，便有機會需要服用大量止痛藥，但服用越多止痛藥，患者因藥物而引起的副作用亦有機會隨之增加。因此，香港大學臨床醫學學院矯形及創傷外科學系臨床副教授、港怡醫院關節置換中心聯席總監、骨科專科醫生陳秉強醫生建議嚴重髖關節炎患者進行全髖關節置換手術。 傳統的髖關節置換手術是一門複雜的手術，主要以二維成像的X光影像判斷整個關節的磨損位置。現時，患者亦可以透過機械臂輔助進行髖關節置換，術前進行的三維電腦掃描有助醫生了解患者關節磨蝕位置及程度，使用機械臂輔助手術亦可以提升手術精準度及安全性等。 🔎請即觀看短片，由陳秉強醫生解說髖關節退化的治療方案、機械臂輔助髖關節置換手術的優點、以及術後康復過程。 | |  | Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong
