20cm cyst removed through ‘keyhole’ surgery at BMHRC – ET HealthWorld
The gas victims hospital doctors performed the laproscopic surgery who had a large pseudocyst of pancreas, according to a press release.
BMHRC, department of gastrosurgery, assistant professor, Dr Pramod Verma said, “The patient was complaining of abdominal pain, vomiting, loss of appetite among other symptoms for more than three months. A CT scan was performed, in which a 20-centimeter large pseudocyst was found in the Pancreas.”
To remove the pseudocyst, surgery was the only option. In many hospitals, this kind of surgery is conducted by making a large incision in the abdomen, which involves a long painful recovery. However, at BMHRC we opted for laparoscopic surgery, which involves small incisions through which a tube, camera and surgical instruments are inserted to carry out the surgery, he added.
In the procedure adopted, recovery is quicker and minimally invasive for the patient, who has been discharged, he added. Dr Verma further said that many surgeons still adopt the traditional way of surgery for the pseudocyst of pancreas, as it is quite a complicated task to do such a surgery through laparoscopy.
