PRAYAGRAJ: In a first, a team of doctors of neurosurgery department of Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital (SRNH), an associate hospital of MLN Medical College of the Sangam city, has successfully performed a surgery of brain aneurysm. Also known as a subarachnoid haemorrhage, brain aneurysm is a weak spot in the wall of a blood vessel inside the brain.
Head of the Neurosurgery department of MLN Medical college, Dr NN Gopal said, “It is for the first time that in the field of neurovascular surgery in SRN Hospital, such a complicated operation has been successfully performed. Brain aneurysms are balloon like out-pouching of brain arteries, which bleeds easily and results in hematoma or blood collection inside the brain. This is a very dangerous situation as it can cause coma or even death.”
He further added that since it has the tendency to bleed again and again, it needs either microsurgical clipping or endovascular treatment. Therefore, it is one of the most dangerous and complicated surgeries in neurosurgical domain, explains Dr Shabi Ahmed, head of the surgery department.
The clipping of aneurysm was performed by a team, including Dr Pankaj Gupta, Dr SD Pandey and Dr SA Dubey, under the supervision of Dr NN Gopal and Dr Amit Singh. Dr Pankaj Gupta said patient’s condition was now stable and he was recovering satisfactorily. In this surgery, doctors explored the base of the brain, searched out the aneurysm and clipped it, which was a complicated task.
In collaboration with neurosurgery department, ENT department head Dr Sachin Jain, anaesthetist Dr Vaibhav Singh, Dr Sachin Singh, Dr KC Gupta, Dr Ashish Singh and staff nurse Mamta, provided technical support to accomplish the job.
In the past, there was no facility to operate such cases in SRN, but now this has become possible with all advanced equipment provided under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY).
Principal, MLN Medical College, Prof SP Singh said that in the field of Neurovascular surgery, SRN has become just the fourth in state after Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), King George Medical University (KGMU) and RML Institute of Medical Sciences, where aneurysm surgeries are getting done. Prof Singh also congratulated the whole team on successfully performing this surgery at SRNH.
