 This is a very interesting story. This patient came to see me on during one of our busier SOPDs and When I saw him I saw this very thin frail old man who was in desperate need of surgery He was just looking to have his life back And this is what really pushed me to really help him to get him better Hi, my name is Dr. Marjana Tharidas, one of the consultant surgeon in the Department of Gastro-Science's Manipal Hospital, Whitefield This patient came to see me on during one of our busier SOPDs and I was able to quickly see through him in terms of his investigations He had been diagnosed with an intra-abdominal tumor and it took quite some time for it to be investigated thoroughly and He went on to go around to all the medical colleges in Calcutta and ultimately was diagnosed with an intra-abdominal tumor The tumor was located in a very complex situation. It was located right along the IVC Along the blood supply of the kidney and the pancreas as well. Now, this is a very delicate area to get surgery on So he came over to Hyderabad and he was also seen in one of the top institutes in Hyderabad as well And there they prescribed three months of medication for him and unfortunately, he did not get any better And he ultimately chose us and he came to see us Namaskar!

Here, I mentioned these referral places Here, I mentioned these referral places I was born and raised in U.S.G. Then, from school, I joined the one noteAktar After that, I was from Aseu Hmmal My name was Kidney Doctor I checked up in Kidney Doctor There I spoke about one thing In Bheesadikre, Only one of us has tteokbokki We areelnutosa UP They do operation So about that time, I checked up among women I checked up among women Every women is, I told you, We were told in Malnath that the operation would not take place here, so we went to Kolkata Medical College. We were there for 12 days. The doctor told us that it could be a very high risk and an infection. But we couldn't find a single risk. Then we left the hospital and went to all of Bangalore. In Bangalore, we were told that the operation would not take place here. When I saw him, I saw this very thin, frail old man who was in desperate need of surgery. He was just looking to have his life back. And this is what really pushed me to really help him to get him better. When I reviewed his CT scan, this was located in one of the most important areas of the body. Where almost all the blood vessels coalesce. So based on this, we ultimately decided to offer him surgery. We had a multi-disciplinary team meeting as well, getting involved with vascular surgeons. And also we had the cardiac surgeon as a backup just in case we had any issues. The surgery took almost closer to 3 to 4 hours. And we were able to successfully remove the tumor without any requirement of any bypass or without any injury to the most important structures. We were able to preserve his blood supply to the liver, his major blood supply, which is the IVC, and also his bilateral kidney blood supply as well. We were able to successfully complete the surgery. Bangalore is a hospital in Manipal. The doctors, Dr. Manjidharidhashthir, and our doctor, Mr. Rassak, we have a very protocolized system for recovery of this patient. The Manipal Hospital, Whitefield and the Department of Gastro-Sciences follow a protocol laid down by IRAS for extended recovery of these kind of patients who undergo big complicated surgeries. Within 4 days, he was all ready to be discharged home. And he was discharged the next day as per his wishes. Thank you to the Manipal Hospital. The entire staff of the Manipal Hospital, the doctors, and the doctors are all very kind to me. I am very grateful to the Manipal Hospital for their support. Now, he is completely different. He has more hope in his life and he wants to see his life living. And we are very thankful for him that he chose us to help him with his surgery. And I am very helpful that he actually chose me to help him with his surgery. The Department of Gastro-Sciences helps such patients. We undertake such routine complicated cases on a daily basis and we are here to help them. And we hope this testimonial will help other patients who are looking for such complicated surgeries to come to us.
