AOI Jammu successfully performs 2 complex throat cancer surgeries

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Mar 22: American Oncology Institute (AOI) Jammu has achieved success in two intricate esophageal surgeries, showcasing the hospital’s dedication to advanced surgical procedures and patient well-being.
In the first case, a 40-year-old man with advanced esophageal cancer underwent surgery after prior chemotherapy and radiation. Despite treatment, the tumor stayed and affected the protective layer around the heart and the fatty tissue near the right chamber of the heart. The surgery effectively removed the tumor and repaired the pericardium, leading to a successful recovery and discharge within 7 days.
The second case involved a 65-year-old woman with throat cancer close to the left airway tube, presenting a significant challenge during surgery. The tumor stuck to the airway tube, making fixing it harder. Collaborative efforts between the surgical and anesthesia teams successfully completed the repair, using a muscle flap from the ribs to help. The patient recovered smoothly with no air leaks observed after two weeks.
“These cases highlight the significance of working together and having expertise in surgery to address complex esophageal conditions. At AOI Jammu, our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional care and innovative solutions to our patients, “Dr Neeraj Bishnoi, RCOO, North Region, AOI, reiterated the hospital’s commitment to excellence.
He stated, “The success of these surgeries underscores AOI Jammu’s advanced capabilities and dedication to patient-centered care.

With a focus on innovation and patient comfort, AOI Jammu continues to set new standards in healthcare delivery, ensuring the best possible outcomes for every patient, he asserted.
