PUDUCHERRY: A team of surgeons in a private hospital here removed 195 gallstones from the gallbladder of a 70-year-old retired teacher.
A release from Be Well Hospitals stated that the woman, who had been enduring persistent abdominal pain and nausea for over two weeks, approached the hospital.
Her condition required a combination of advanced procedures: endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for stent placement and laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder removal.
The complex surgery was performed by a team led by advanced laparoscopic surgeons and specialists in endoscopic and laser surgery, Dr R Raja and Dr Deepak Ravi.
The patient recovered quickly and was discharged pain-free within just 60 hours.
Be Well Hospital is a chain of “Small Giant” multi-specialty hospitals. Established in 2011, the hospital group operates in 12 main locations in Chennai and Puducherry, serving the healthcare needs of thousands of people.
