Patient Kopparam, who was suffering from diabetes and heart disease for the past three years, had to undergo three complex procedures - coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), gallstone removal and colon cancer surgery simultaneously in one session under general anesthesia .
Due to continuous stomach pain, he was brought to Fortis Hospital on Cunningham Road.
Ultrasound examination revealed the presence of gallstones.
Subsequent tests showed growth of cancer in the colon, which posed a significant challenge to Kopparam's treatment plan, especially due to his pre-existing heart condition, which was being managed with blood-thinning medications. .
Doctors said it was important to perform CABG first to ensure that the patient's heart was stable before undergoing colon cancer surgery.If cardiac surgery had been done earlier, there would have been a three-month wait for colon cancer surgery, but delay was not an option due to the progressive growth of the tumor.
Doctors used a special surgical technique called OPCAB (Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass) to perform the auditory surgery, which involves using four grafts (blood vessels that are transplanted into the patient's body to repair or replace damaged vessels). Done with.
Vive Javali, chair of cardiac sciences at Fortis, said, "Unlike traditional methods, this method eliminates the need for a heart-lung machine. We carefully monitored the heart and kept blood pressure and sugar levels normal during the surgery. Gave medicines for."
He said, “We took four blood vessels from the patient's body to create a new path around the blocked arteries in the heart.This helped improve blood flow to the heart muscle."
The entire surgery took about 260 minutes (a little over four hours) and the patient is stable, the doctor said.
The team also deployed laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy to remove the portion of colon affected by cancer as well as laparoscopic cholecystectomy to remove gallstones.
Ganesh Shenoy, Director, “This complex procedure requires precise coordination, and it reduces surgical risks and facilitates an easier and faster recovery for the patient.”
, Minimal Access and Bariatric Surgery added to Fortis.The patient was discharged from the hospital 15 days after the surgery and resumed his normal daily activities without any complications, the doctor said.
