0 5

In a pioneering advancement in the field of surgical treatment, a 3.7-year-old child has effectively undergone a 3D laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones at MASSH Super Specialty Hospital. The parents of the patient had explored numerous medical facilities where traditional laparoscopy and open surgery were advised, yet they opted for MASSH due to its advanced treatment alternatives.

The child was diagnosed with symptomatic gallstones after undergoing an ultrasound. Dr. Sachin Ambekar, the Director of Minimal Access Surgery at MASSH Hospital, performed the surgery. Dr. Ambekar assured the parents about the quick recovery process with minimal risks due to the hospital’s advanced 3D 4K Rubina Imaging System. This cutting-edge technology guarantees a painless and swift recovery, allowing patients to resume normal activities in just a few hours.

“The expertise required in this case is particularly tested, as the abdominal cavity is relatively small compared to adults. The surgery was performed delicately using special instruments designed for such intricate procedures,” stated Dr. Ambekar.

The procedure, conducted by Dr. Sachin Ambekar and anesthesiologist Dr. Amit Garg, was completed in a shorter duration of operating and anesthesia time compared to standard practices. The child was able to walk within five hours post-surgery and was discharged without complications after 16 hours. “The smile on the mother’s face is the true reward for my work. Seeing a happy, painless, and worry-free patient is what I strive for,” added Dr. Ambekar.

The gallstone was 7 mm in size, and the child had been experiencing intermittent abdominal pain for one and a half years. Initially misdiagnosed as abdominal gastritis, the condition was confirmed through an ultrasound. Gallstones in young children are rare and often linked to genetic predisposition, though other causes include blood disorders, obesity, excessive use of birth control pills by the mother and other unknown factors.

Mr. Hanish Bansal, Chairman & Executive Director of MASSH Super Specialty Hospitals, praised the medical team’s expertise, saying, “This surgery showcases our commitment to advanced medical care and innovation. We strive to provide the best possible outcomes for our patients, leveraging the latest technology and our skilled professionals. Also, thanks to the world of innovation where we are able to perform seamless surgeries using 3D 4k vision camera, enhancing both safety and precision.”
