Jaipur: Cardiothoracic surgeons at Sawai Man Singh (SMS) hospital performed a ‘re-redo’ surgery on a patient suffering from left ventricular (LV) and left atrial myxoma, a rare type of benign cardiac tumour, which was causing difficulty in breathing for the patient. A hospital official said that the 44-year-old woman from Ajmer was suffering from difficulty in breathing and weakness for the past six years. “The patient was first operated on in 2011 at a private hospital and in 2013 she underwent the surgery for the same problem in 2013 at AIIMS Delhi. But she did not find relief and for the past six years she was suffering from difficulty in breathing,” said the official.

In a first, BHU doctors perform endoscopic surgery on 1-year-old
Doctors at Sir Sunderlal Hospital in Varanasi have successfully performed the first endoscopic surgery on a one-year-old boy with bilateral renal stones. The child’s age and the complexity of the surgery had initially led many hospitals to refuse to perform the procedure. The surgery, which cleared the stone on the left side, was done using a thulium fibre laser. The child was discharged three days later and the next surgery for the right side renal stones is planned for a month later. This is the first time such a surgery has been performed on a child in eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Doctors remove tumour of nerve cells from 6-year-old Somalian girl’s chest
A 6-year-old Somali girl with a rare tumour of the nerve cells successfully underwent surgery at Fortis Memorial Research Institute in India.
