Tirunelvali, 9th May 2025 :
A patient who suffered 90% burns in an accident, was treated at Tirunelveli
Kauvery Hospital and recovered
completely without any burn scars or contractures and returned to his normal
lifestyle.
A worker aged 50, working in a
private company suffered 90% burns on his face, neck, and front and back of his
body and legs, in a fire accident that happened at work and was admitted at a private
hospital for treatment.
Even after three days of treatment,
the patient's condition did not improve; on the contrary it became worse (Wound
infection & Septicaemia), and he was then admitted to the Tirunelveli Kauvery
Hospital for further treatment.
He was given immediate treatment by a
team of doctors led by Dr. G. R. Balaji Sharma, Consultant Plastic Surgeon.
Since the burn was severe (Stage 2
b), modern surgical procedures required for the treatment of the burn were
immediately performed.
The patient was kept in an isolated
ward to prevent infection.
He was given the best treatment as
per the burn treatment protocols.
His condition improved steadily over
the next few days, and he was discharged without any complications.
Speaking of this, Dr. G.R. Balaji
Sharma, Plastic Surgeon, Kauvery Hospital, said, “I would like to express my
heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the general physician, ICU doctors,
anaesthetists, nurses, physiotherapist, dietician, and all the hospital staff
who handled this complex situation with patience and skill, and provided treatment
with utmost dedication.
I am very happy to say that not only
has the patient’s health improved, but he has also recovered well and has returned
to normal life without any defects or scars.”
