Special Geriatric Care

At Dr. Sawant’s Diabetes Care Centre, we understand the unique healthcare needs of older adults, particularly those managing diabetes and related conditions. Our Special Geriatric Care services are designed to provide comprehensive, personalized care to elderly patients, ensuring they receive the attention and support necessary to maintain their health and quality of life.

Comprehensive Assessment and Management

Geriatric care at our centre begins with a thorough assessment of each patient’s medical history, current health status, and specific needs. Our team, led by Dr. Mahendra Yashwant Sawant, integrates geriatric principles with specialized knowledge in diabetes and endocrinology to tailor treatment plans that address both chronic conditions and age-related health concerns.

• Cataract Surgery: Elderly patients often experience cataracts, which can significantly impact vision. Cataract surgery is a common procedure performed to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial lens, restoring clear vision.

• Joint Replacement Surgery: Arthritis and other degenerative joint conditions are prevalent among older adults. Joint replacement surgeries, such as knee or hip replacements, are performed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.

• Gallbladder Surgery: Gallstones are a common issue among older adults, leading to inflammation and pain in the gallbladder. Surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is often recommended to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.

• Hernia Repair Surgery: Hernias, such as inguinal or umbilical hernias, can occur more frequently in older adults due to weakened abdominal muscles. Surgical repair is typically required to alleviate discomfort and prevent hernia complications.

• Colon Surgery: Conditions such as diverticulitis, colorectal cancer, or severe inflammatory bowel disease may necessitate surgery to remove part of the colon (colectomy). This procedure aims to treat the underlying condition and restore digestive health.
