KIMS SIKHARA Hospital has
successfully performed the state’s first Uni-Portal VATS (Video-Assisted
Thoracic Surgery) procedure, saving the lives of two patients suffering from
severe respiratory complications. The minimally invasive surgery, conducted
under the leadership of Chief Consultant Thoracic and Minimal Access Surgeon
Dr. Khaja Abdul Moin Beg, marks a significant milestone in advanced thoracic
care in Andhra Pradesh.
In a critical case, a
60-year-old man from Guntur, who had a history of hypertension and diabetes,
was rushed to KIMS SIKHARA Hospital in an emergency condition due to
sudden breathlessness. Upon examination, doctors discovered a ruptured air
bubble in his right lung, leading to its complete collapse. Given the urgency,
the medical team opted for the Uni-Portal VATS technique minimally invasive
procedure requiring only a small incision. Dr. Khaja Abdul Moin Beg and his
team successfully completed the surgery in just an hour and a half, restoring
the patient’s lung function without the need for major incisions, as in
conventional bypass surgery.
In another case, a
38-year-old housewife from Vijayawada, suffering from recurrent lung
infections, was diagnosed with a fluid-filled cyst in her lower left lung. The
same advanced Uni-Portal VATS method was employed to remove the cyst, ensuring
a quick recovery and minimal postoperative complications.
Both patients showed
remarkable recovery, were discharged within three days, and are now on the path
to complete rehabilitation. The successful procedures were made possible
through the dedicated efforts of the thoracic surgery team, along with experts
from the anaesthesia and critical care departments.
