Hyderabad: In a rare feat, a team of cardiac surgeons at Continental Hospitals here performed an awake open heart surgery for the first time in two States on 26-year-old Jamir Hussain. Speaking to The Hans India, Dr Nisarga, consultant cardio-vascular surgeon, said that the success rate of this surgery was almost 98 per cent to 100 per cent because of fewer complications than usual by avoiding ventilator, incubation and it was also a pain free surgery.
This surgery was done to the patients who had major lung problem, COPD, chronic bronchitis with cardiac condition, he said. In 2000, the first awake open heart surgery was reported in Turkey. But in western set up, it is very rare. Dr Nisarga did the first awake cardiac surgery in 2014 in Bangalore. As of now, he has done about five such surgeries.
Jamir had been suffering from severe breathlessness, chronic cough and fever and was not able to walk even for short distances. The surgery was done on July 5, under Aarogyasri scheme. During the surgery, the heart completely stopped, lungs were not breathing, but the patient was able to talk to doctors during surgery and watch his heart on the monitor opposite to him.
“It was amazing that I saw my heart during my surgery. Now I am well. I can speak easily and can walk. After three months, I can resume my work,” said, Jamir Hussain, a driver. “We had lost all hopes. But Dr Nisarga saved the life of Jamir Hussain,” said Kousar, Jamir’s sister-in-law.
Dr Guru N Reddy, Founder, Chairman and Managing Director of Continental Hospitals said that their hospital was in the forefront of new surgical therapies and provided the best technologies in the country.
