Rare and unique surgery saves woman's life

August 20, 2011
Mangalore, August 20: A team of doctors from City Hospital have granted a new lease of life to a female patient by performing a very rare, unique and very complicated laparoscopic surgery, first of its kind in the medical history of the district by the chief of the Dept of Minimal Access Surgery and Surgical Gastroenterology Dr. Roshan Shetty.

A city based 60 year old woman, an asthma patient with breathing problems used to develop pain, fatigue, and chest discomfort soon after consumption of food. She consulted Dr. Roshan Shetty and complained about her medical complications. Dr. Shetty after thorough clinical evaluation and detailed radiological investigation found that she had congenital defective diaphragm, her stomach instead of being inside abdomen it has migrated into the chest clubbing the esophagus and stomach, which developed into a Para esophageal hernia and incidentally also found to have a Lumbar hernia adjacent to the kidney, which warranted emergency surgery to save the life of the patient.

Instantly she was admitted to the City Hospital. Dr. Shetty formed a team of experts, Dr. Bhaskar Shetty (General Surgeon), Dr. Muralidhar (Physician), and Dr. Kishan Shetty (Anaesthesiologist) and performed a very complicated laparoscopic surgery lasting five and a half hour and her stomach was separated and restored to the normal position along with the closure of the defects by means of Laparoscopic Para-esophageal hernioplasty with Lumbar hernioplasty.

The patient responded to the surgical treatment and recuperated very speedily and was discharged after five days on August 19, and presently she is leading a very normal life.
