Expert surgeons perform unique surgery at Pace Hospitals

Hyderabad: Senior and expert doctors of Pace Hospital Begumpet have performed a rare surgery applying a unique procedure to save a 48-year-old woman Hepsiba from Ananthapur district who has been suffering from intestinal obstruction and post hernia operation difficulties.

Bilateral Posterior TAR (Transversus Abdominis Release) was performed upon the woman by Dr T Varun Raju and his team. The patient was relieved of pain and complications who had been suffering with the problem for a long time.

Dr Varun - Senior consultant laparoscopy, general and bariatric surgery, said that the surgery performed upon the patient was very tough and unique since she was already operated upon four times earlier for different other problems.

He said, “She went under knife in the year 2014 for hernia. Surgeons put mesh 3 times before the surgery and stomach lost its frontier muscles.

This situation made any further operation very challenging.” “We have applied component suppuration to carry out the operation,” he further explained.

He said, “Muscles present on left and right side of the stomach were not strong and hence laparoscopic method was used for operation.”

After this component suppuration because of putting 30*30 mesh in whatever the space is there, then the patient getting hernia the chances were very less.

This was the biggest mesh we can put in the abdomen, he said. The patient thanked Dr Varun and said that doctor has given her a new lease of life.

The patient recovered well after the surgery and would be getting discharged.
