Interventional Radiology
Precise image-guided therapeutic procedures without open surgery, with shorter recovery times.
What is this procedure?
Interventional radiology is an advanced specialty combining modern imaging techniques with precise therapeutic procedures. Instead of open surgery, the physician reaches the treatment target through very small incisions guided by real-time imaging.
Why interventional radiology?
Interventional radiology delivers outcomes comparable to traditional surgery but with significantly lower risk, less pain, and faster recovery. Dr. Jafar holds two international fellowships in this specialty from London hospitals.

- Fast for the specified period before the procedure
During
- The patient receives local anaesthesia and sometimes light sedation
- The physician introduces a thin needle or catheter guided by imaging
- Procedures take 30 minutes to 2 hours
After & Recovery
- The patient is monitored for a short period after the procedure
- Same-day discharge is possible in most cases
- Clear aftercare instructions are provided
Who is this for?
- Patients referred for a non-surgical treatment alternative
- Patients with high surgical risk
- Conditions that benefit from image-guided intervention
