SRN Hospital docs successfully perform complex spine surgery
Prayagraj: Doctors at Swarup Rani Nehru (SRN) Hospital have successfully performed a complex surgery on a 27-year-old man suffering from a wedge compression fracture in the D12 vertebra of the spinal cord. The surgery was led by Dr Sachin Yadav. To stabilise the patient's spine, the team used a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) technique called Pedicle Screw Fixation, which is considered a leading method in modern spinal surgery. Dr Yadav explained that MIS involves making much smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery. This results in less damage to the muscles, reduced blood loss and a faster recovery for the patient. Using fluoroscopy, or real-time X-ray imaging, screws are precisely inserted into the vertebrae, followed by the placement of rods to stabilise the spine. This advanced technique is primarily used to treat spinal fractures, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and degenerative spinal conditions. Expressing satisfaction, principal Motilal Nehru Medical College (MLNMC), Dr VK Pandey said: "This complex surgery performed by our team is a testament to the high-quality medical facilities available in govt hospitals. Swarup Rani Hospital continues to adopt advanced technologies to provide the best care for its patients."

10.3 kg filarial scrotum successfully operated in Prayagraj
: In a medical achievement, doctors at Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital, affiliated with Moti Lal Nehru Medical College (MLNMC) in Prayagraj, have successfully performed surgery to remove a massive 10.3-kilogram filarial scrotum. The patient had been suffering from chronic lymphatic filariasis, a parasitic infection that caused severe swelling of the scrotum. The patient, a 43-year-old man from a village in the trans-Yamuna region of Prayagraj, had been living with the condition for several years. Doctors said the severe swelling of the scrotum was due to a parasitic infection, commonly seen in cases of lymphatic filariasis (LF). The infection caused major enlargement and deformity of the genital area. The surgery was led by noted plastic surgeon and vice-principal of Motilal Nehru Medical College, Dr Mohit Jain, who said the procedure was technically challenging. 'The patient's genitalia had developed a rare 'Ram's horn' deformity, which we were able to reconstruct successfully. More than the weight, the real victory lies in restoring the patient's dignity and quality of life,' said Dr Jain. The careful surgery involved the removal of dense, lymph-filled tissue weighing over 10 kg. Dr Jain said such cases of Scrotal Elephantiasis, though rare, are seen in tropical regions and often result from prolonged, untreated filariasis. Dr Vinayak Siddharth, Dr Yasharth Sharma, and Dr Shivam Mittal supported Dr Jain in the operation. The anaesthesia team was led by assistant professor Dr Anamika Pandey. Her role was key in keeping the patient stable during the long procedure.'This was a rare and high-risk case. The surgical team showed remarkable coordination and sensitivity throughout the process,' Dr Jain added.
