JAMMU, Aug 6: American Oncology Institute (AOI) at ASCOMS Hospital, Jammu achieved a milestone by successfully performing a rare lung surgery.
The procedure was led by Dr Avinash Rajra, Consultant Surgical Oncology, AOI and Dr Sujeet Bhat, Consultant Surgical Oncology, AOI with the support of the anesthetic team led by Dr Atul Sharma, Consultant Anesthesiologist, AOI and Dr Khuram Malik, Senior Resident Anesthesiologist, AOI.
The patient diagnosed with Squamous Cell Cancer in lungs can now breathe easily without coughing up blood. The operative technique of the advanced modern stapler proved to be much more secured and efficient than the traditional surgical knots, especially around the large blood vessels coming directly from the heart.
