With this, SGPGI becomes one of the few centers in the world to have this advanced facility for the treatment of vascular disorders.
The patient Ayush Yadav, resident of Jaunpur, was referred from the district hospital.
The boy was born with a large vascular tumor on the upper lip. He was initially treated with sclerosant agents to shrink the lesion, but this did not help.
The team of doctors at SGPGI used the latest technology of harmonic scalpel to remove the entire tumor.
After the surgery on Wednesday, Sai's doctors say that the child is fine.
The Harmonix Scalpel is an ultrasonic energy device with a 7 mm vessel seal signal.
It features advanced adaptive tissue technology that provides precise multifunctionality and advanced hemostasis for stronger large vessel sealing. This ensures less tissue damage and seals vessels up to 7 mm in diameter. The device cleans tissue by transmitting high-frequency (55,000 Hz) ultrasonic energy between blades.
The active blade of the device vibrates longitudinally against the passive blade at an excursion of 50–100 µm, which reduces bleeding compared to operating blood vessels by conventional methods.
“The new tools could be a gamechanger in congenital vascular tumors because when the tumor is removed, excessive bleeding is seen due to the large amount of tissue involved, but with the help of the harmonic scalpel it is more precise and easier to remove the tumor . Is. Bleeding in a short period of time. This type of surgery has been done for the first time at SGPGI and now we have this advanced facility to treat vascular malformations,” said Rajeev Aggarwal, HOD of Plastic Surgery, SGPGI.
