SRINAGAR: A minimally invasive heart surgery was performed at the Super Specialty Hospital (SSH) in Jammu.
Dr Shyam Singh, the Chief Surgeon at SSH, said that heart surgeries through small incisions have evolved over the years and become standardized. “These procedures need expertise and perseverance to make them a routine,” he said after carrying out a Heart Valve replacement procedure on a young female patient with Rheumatic Heart Disease from a far-off village called Chansri, Mughal Maidan Kishtwar.
In this procedure, Dr Singh said, a small incision is made below the right breast to undertake the entire operation, and the fine scar hides in the breast crease and is cosmetic in female patients. The surgery requires less blood transfusion and less pain-relieving medication. The patient was able to move around in the ward the next morning, which is normally not possible in a conventional surgery, Dr Singh said.
Furthermore, the patient had a rare blood group of O negative, and there was minimal blood loss during the procedure, according to Dr Singh.
The surgical team included Dr Shyam Singh, Dr Ishtiyak Ahmed Mir, and Dr Arvind Kohli, while the anesthesia team was headed by Professor and HoD Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia Dr Puja Vimesh, who conducted the per-operative and postoperative management along with Dr Rasmeet Kour, Dr Vikas, Vikas Sharma, Arif, Sonal, and Abhiranjan. Charanjit Singh and Roshan Lal managed the vital parameters of the patient while the patient was on Heart lung machine during operation while theatre scrub sister Angmo helped to carry out the procedure.
Principal GMC Jammu Professor Dr Shashi Sudan lauded the efforts of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Department of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiology to make such surgeries possible and routine at SSH Jammu under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme, for which the Patients do not have to pay from their pockets. She further said that the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeons (CTVS) has been routinely doing open heart surgeries for the last two years, and very shortly Bypass surgeries (CABG) shall also be started, which shall be followed by starting Super-speciality DNB CTVS courses.
Dr Sudan said that the department has already applied for DNB Vascular Surgery courses and is most likely to get permission soon. (KNO)

Hyderabad: A successful Robotic Thymectomy Surgery was performed on a 60-year-old patient, at Continental Hospitals, Hyderabad today. Cardio thoracic Surgeon Dr Pradeep Rachakonda performed the robotic procedure on the patient who was rushed to the emergency room with a myasthenic crisis, and placed on ventilator.
The patient had an enlargement of the left thymus gland with a growth called – Thymoma. This led to her neurological condition of Myasthenia Gravis, an acute muscle weakness
Dr Pradeep suggested for a robotic procedure instead of a traditional, invasive one and counselled the family accordingly. This was because of the complications associated with the patient and her comorbidities that made an invasive procedure very risky.
Also, the robotic procedure performed offered several advantages over traditional surgery with minimal trauma, and faster recovery. Traditional Surgery would have required breaking of the Sternum (breast-bone), to access the chest cavity however with surgical robot it was done through placing minimally invasive ports in the chest region.
Following the successful procedure, the patient was moved to the cardiac ICU and is now recuperating well. Continental Hospitals Robotic Surgery team have been performing several surgeries in Urology, Gastroenterology, Oncology and Gynaecology with a steadfast commitment to patients with outcomes and understanding that advanced robotic procedures aid in faster patient-recovery and over all clinical outcomes.
