Berhampur, July 1: Surgeons at the Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM
Hospital’s Sitalapalli campus here have successfully conducted a complex spine
surgery on an obese patient.
The patient, who suffered from severe spinal issues and simultaneously
carried cardiac and nephrological conditions, presented a unique challenge for
the surgical team which comprised specialists in neurosurgery, cardiology and
nephrology.
The team members collaborated seamlessly to conduct two supra major
spine surgeries on the patient, who weighed 130 kg, in a single session which
included a cervical laminectomy, lumbar laminectomy and post spinal fixation.
The surgery, which required advanced surgical skill as well as careful
perioperative management to mitigate the risks associated with the patient’s
comorbid condition, was conducted by Dr. Suryapratap Singh Tomar,
neurosurgeon at the IMS and SUM Hospital, Bhubaneswar, and Dr. Ranjit Patra,
orthopedic surgeon at the Sitalapalli campus of the hospital.
The patient was recovering well showing significant improvement in
mobility and pain reduction, which underscored the hospital’s ability to take up
challenging cases and ensuring successful treatment of complex cases.
The Sitalapalli campus of IMS and SUM Hospital, which was inaugurated
less than five months ago, has emerged as a beacon of hope for patients of south
Odisha facing complex medical issues. “The successful handling of this case is a
testament to the hospital’s commitment to push the boundaries of medical
science to provide relief to suffering patients,” hospital sources said.
IMS and SUM Hospital is a leading multi-speciality healthcare provider in
Odisha known for its cutting-edge medical technology and highly skilled medical
professionals whose mission is to provide comprehensive and compassionate care
leveraging the latest advancements in medical science to treat complex and high
risk cases.
