Patient Stories
SLNB (Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy) following NACT (Neo-Adjuvant Chemotherapy) in a Node Negative Disease had decreased morbidity by avoidance of unnecessary Axillary Dissection and feasibility of a Breast Conservation Surgery.
A daily wage worker sustained a severe machine injury to his hand — the radial artery was severed, and the entire extensor compartment was destroyed, leaving the hand nearly unsalvageable. After an extensive 4-hour reconstructive surgery and critical on-table decisions, his hand was successfully saved.
Successful Removal of 20cm Fistulous Tract and Foreign Bodies: A Case of Long-Term Leg Infection
A 22-year-old male patient from Bihar presented with a 7-year history of recurrent pus discharge from his leg. The condition stemmed from an accidental injury sustained during a bomb blast, which led to multiple surgeries in Patna over the years but failed to resolve the issue.
Upon evaluation at our facility, we identified a 20cm long fistulous tract in the leg, containing multiple entrapped foreign bodies, including stone fragments. A meticulous surgical intervention was carried out to remove the fistulous tract and the foreign bodies.
The operation was a success, and the patient was discharged the very next day. He is expected to make a full recovery within a month, with no recurrence of the infection.
