A 75-year-old patient in Belagavi has recovered after undergoing a critical surgery for a rare health condition. The patient was admitted to Lake View Hospital with severe symptoms indicating a serious abdominal issue.
Doctors diagnosed the patient with gastric volvulus, a condition where the stomach twists, compromising blood supply. Due to delayed presentation, a perforation occurred, leading to septicemia, a life-threatening infection.
An emergency surgical team, led by Sreeshail Hanagandi and Pradeep G. Vagarali, performed a proximal gastrectomy to remove the damaged stomach section. The patient received intensive post-operative care, including antibiotics and supportive treatment.
Following the procedure, the patient showed significant improvement and was discharged in a stable condition. Notably, the hospital provided the complex surgery at an affordable cost, considering the patient's financial circumstances.
