In Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, a 30-year-old woman suffering from pancreas cancer underwent a very complicated surgery. The doctor of the hospital’s cancer surgery department along with his team performed this surgery. In this case, the cancer had stuck to the blood vessel near the pancreas and even a small mistake during surgery could have been fatal for the patient. Usually such an operation takes about 10-12 hours, but this entire operation was completed in just 3-4 hours. The patient’s condition has improved a lot now and she has been discharged from the hospital. The patient was treated free of cost under the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
Dr Sonvir Gautam, Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgical Oncology at BMHRC, said that the woman was suffering from pancreatic cancer for the last 4 months. She was admitted to another hospital for surgery, but the doctor refused to operate on her saying that the cancer had spread from the pancreas to the portal vein, a nearby blood vessel.
The portal vein is a very important vein that carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder, pancreas and spleen to the liver. The vein could have burst during the operation, which would have proved fatal for the patient. After this, the patient reached BMHRC. Looking at the patient’s trouble, we decided to do this risky surgery.
