Under the care of Dr. C.H. Naveen Kumar, Consultant Surgical Gastroenterologist and Robotic Surgeon, the patient underwent a highly complex laparoscopic surgery to remove the tumor. Dr. Naveen Kumar explained, “Surgical removal of pancreatic tumors is extremely challenging because of the pancreas’ delicate structure. Using a fully laparoscopic approach, we made small incisions and successfully removed the tumor with the help of intraoperative ultrasound and advanced technologies.”
He further added, “The tumor was very small, which made precise localization essential. The surgery was completed without any complications, and the patient recovered well, being discharged after six days.” The anaesthesia team was led by Dr. Veerbhadra Rao.
