Rare Surgery in KIMS: Cathe ter Removed from Lungs after 33 yrs
Unbelievable but true. In a rare surgery, doctors of KIMS removed a malecot catheter from a man's lungs after 33 years. The catheter was left in the lungs of Bipin Patro (38) of Kendrapada due to doctor's negligence when a chest drain was performed at him at SCB Medical College and Hospital to treat Pneumonia and pus in lungs in 1978. He was just five years of age then.
Though he was cured of Pneumonia and pus, a part of malecot catheter was left inside lung, which caused a fistula (Thoraco cutaneous fistula). For last 33 years, Bipin was suffering from lungs pain due to this condition. When he came to KIMS, investigations by Dr. Madhabananda Kar, eminent surgeon revealed that a part of chest drain was inside the lung. Dr. Kar decided to remove that chest drain by surgery.
On 12th May 2011, a team of doctors led by Dr. Kar and constituting Dr. Subrat Mohanty, Dr Amrish Mishra, Dr. Subrat Sahoo and others successfully removed the catheter from his lungs. The team of doctors was assisted in lungs ventilation by Dr. Akshya Parida, Dr. Jagaddish Mishra, Dr. Amit Pradhan, Dr. Aditya Das and Dr. Kadambini Pariday. The chest drain and the damaged part of the lung were removed. This type of surgery is very rare, informed doctors of KIMS. |
