A 66-year-old man has undergone a rare, life-saving dual surgical procedure at HCMCT Manipal Hospital Dwarka. The patient was diagnosed with both coronary artery disease and lung cancer, necessitating urgent intervention for both conditions.
Doctors opted for a simultaneous hybrid approach, performing heart bypass surgery to address severe arterial blockages, followed by robotic-assisted lung cancer surgery to remove the affected part of his left lung. This advanced technique utilized the da Vinci surgical system, offering enhanced precision and minimizing surgical trauma.
The multidisciplinary team successfully managed the complex case, prioritizing patient safety and coordinating care between cardiac and cancer specialists. This integrated approach allowed for the safe treatment of both life-threatening conditions during a single operative session. The patient recovered well and was discharged in a stable condition, highlighting the hospital's expertise in managing high-risk cases.
