Bhubaneswar: A 25-year-old woman has successfully recovered from a massive chest tumor at the Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS). Enduring two years of chest pain, shortness of breath, and a persistent cough, the patient underwent a challenging surgery at the Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), leading to the successful removal of a tumor weighing approximately 4-4.5 kilograms. Marking a milestone, this surgery is noted as one of the largest chest tumor extractions ever performed in that anatomical region. The patient's recovery post-operation has been positive, as stated by KIMS Hospital. Despite consulting with several hospitals for a period of two years, the patient's condition remained undiagnosed and untreated. The combined efforts of KIMS' oncology and cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CTVS) departments ultimately unveiled the sizable tumor, which had been exerting significant pressure on her heart and lungs. The team of doctors overseeing the patient's treatment comprised Dr. Chandan Kumar Ray Mohapatra, Associate Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery; Dr. Subrat Sahoo, Professor of General Surgery; Dr. Jogomaya Pattnaik, Associate Professor of Medical Oncology; and consultant cardiac anesthesiologists Dr. Ashok Badmali and Dr. Gyanaranjan Mishra. Founder of KIIT and KISS, Dr. Achyuta Samanta, conveyed his congratulations to the medical team for their successful intervention in this intricate case.

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.
