Chorioangioma: accurate diagnosis and effective treatment in Israel
Chorioangioma is a benign placental neoplasm that develops from the expanding capillary vessels of the fetus during pregnancy. It is considered quite rare due to the fact that many clinics in the countries of the former CIS, as well as in other countries, do not have sufficiently powerful, accurate equipment and highly qualified specialists who can timely make a correct diagnosis.
In Israeli clinics. chorioangioma is diagnosed at a high level, and the use of surgical and conservative techniques gives good predictions and prevents intrauterine growth abnormalities. At the same time, the cost of diagnostics and treatment services is much lower than the price of each of similar procedures in medical institutions in other countries. All this together explains why thousands of patients from the post-Soviet countries and Europe visit Israel every year.
How is chorioangioma diagnosed in Israeli clinics?
Each patient diagnosed with chorioangioma who is admitted to an Israeli clinic undergoes operative diagnostics within a few days in perinatal centers using modern medical and diagnostic equipment. In order to make a prognosis of the course of pregnancy, to develop a strategy for the treatment of a disease such as chorioangioma, a comprehensive examination is carried out, including:
- ultrasound;
- electrocardiography;
- dopplerography.
The exact prices of diagnostic procedures are in the price lists of each clinic. The patient can get acquainted with the prices even before the research, and the cost of services is paid in the process of passing the diagnostics. Based on the research results, a council of doctors, which includes first-class specialists, determines which of the chorioangioma treatment methods will be the most effective and sparing, on the basis of which the full cost of therapy is deduced.
Chorioangioma: effective treatment in Israel
Depending on the size of the chorioangioma, its localization, the severity of disorders in the development of the fetus, a method of therapy is chosen, which can be conservative or surgical. Conservative therapy in the form of drug and minimally invasive treatment is used in cases when the patient has an angioblastic chorioangioma, which is quite dangerous. If the tumor is small, the therapy is replaced by regular ultrasound for the timely detection of the development of disorders.
During conservative therapy, drugs are prescribed to eliminate polyhydramnios, which is characterized by chorioangioma. Sometimes a puncture of the uterus is used to mechanically eliminate the amount of amniotic fluid in excess of the norm. In some cases, antihypoxic, membrane stabilizing drugs are prescribed. Intrauterine blood transfusion can also be used, during which, with the help of a puncture of the abdominal cavity and uterus of a pregnant patient, an erythrocyte mass is injected into the umbilical vein of the fetus.
Surgical therapy is prescribed with the rapid development of pathology in the II and III trimester. This can be the introduction of ethyl alcohol into the tumor tissue, embolization of blood vessels under ultrasound control, electro- or laser coagulation of blood vessels, as a result of which the blood supply to the tumor stops.
Every year, more and more patients are admitted to Israel with a diagnosis chorioangioma, since the treatment here is not only high efficiency, impeccable service and high quality of the services provided, but also favorable prices. The cost of therapy for patients is about 50% cheaper than the prices of similar services in America and 30% - than in European countries.
