New Delhi: An Army hospital in Delhi Cantonment has recently provided a young boy from Baramullah, Jammu and Kashmir, with a new lease on life. Through a challenging cardiac procedure, the pediatric cardiology team of the Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) achieved a significant medical milestone by successfully performing a high-risk transcatheter (non-surgical) intervention, as announced by the defense ministry. The procedure was conducted on an eight-year-old civilian boy from Baramullah, Jammu and Kashmir, who had a severe narrowing of the aorta, which compromised blood supply to several vital organs and led to reduced heart function.
The intricate procedure was performed through a small incision in the groin and required the implantation of a large stent. Despite being extremely life-threatening, the procedure proceeded smoothly, and the child was discharged within three days without any visible scarring, according to the statement. Under 'Operation Sadbhavna' in Jammu and Kashmir, the boy was brought to this center by the Indian Army's Dagger Division, as his family lacked the means to afford his treatment, stated the ministry. Through the combined efforts of Army Hospital (R&R), New Delhi, Chinaar Corps/Dagger Division, J&K, and the Indrani Balan Foundation, Pune, the boy is now set to lead a normal life in the future.
The expertise required to perform such a complex procedure is limited to only a few centers in the country, including the Army Hospital (R&R) in Delhi, the statement added

In a landmark achievement, doctors at the Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai announced the successful Total Knee Replacement (TKR) procedure on a 72-year-old American man, weighing a remarkable 193 kg. This groundbreaking surgery marks a significant milestone as the heaviest patient ever to undergo such a procedure globally. TKR stands as a transformative intervention for individuals grappling with excruciating knee pain, offering them renewed mobility and an improved quality of life. However, for overweight individuals, accessing this treatment presents formidable challenges due to heightened surgical risks and technical intricacies.
According to the surgical team, led by Dr. Rajesh Nawalkar, Senior Consultant in Orthopaedics, every patient's unique circumstances demand a tailored approach to surgery. By meticulously customizing their techniques and collaborating closely with fellow medical professionals, they successfully navigated the complexities posed by the patient's weight, culminating in a triumphant outcome. Among the foremost hurdles encountered in TKR for overweight patients are the elevated risks associated with anesthesia and the heightened potential for embolism. This underscores the importance of precision and vigilance in addressing the specific needs of each patient to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.
Furthermore, the conventional use of a tourniquet, a standard protocol in TKR surgeries, presents technical challenges due to the patient's larger thigh circumference, heightening the risk of tissue damage and post-operative complications. In response to these challenges, Dr. Nawalkar collaborated closely with instrument manufacturers to devise specialized instruments tailored to accommodate the patient's unique anatomy, thereby ensuring optimal surgical outcomes. Additionally, meticulous preoperative assessments and consultations were conducted to ascertain the patient's readiness and obtain informed consent.
Richard Koszarek, the patient, underwent the surgery on January 7, 2024, with no reported complications during the procedure. However, the path to recovery was equally crucial, with rehabilitation playing a pivotal role in achieving successful outcomes. Despite facing reluctance from numerous doctors in India and abroad due to his weight, Richard expressed gratitude to the surgical team for their unwavering commitment and skillful intervention, which enabled him to regain mobility and resume an active lifestyle.
