Baby Manvi, a 5 months old female child was having a rare congenital anomaly of her left Kidney. There were two Kidneys on her left side (called duplex kidney), both of which were opening separately in her urinary bladder, but the problem was that one of these two kidneys was having blockade of its ureter due to a condition called ureterocele (the dilated lower part of the ureter which blocks its own passage). A big ureterocele was obstructing the passage of urinary bladder.

Dr. Anand Sehgal , Chief Urologist at RG stone & Super Specialty Hospital, Ludhiana performed this difficult surgery with the help of Holmium Laser and a very small telescope on Thursday, 11^th Feb, 2010. This operation was done without any incision on skin, with the help of laser, the dilated lower end of the blocked ureter was opened.

Baby was fine after 3 hours of surgery taking her mothers feed and was discharged from the hospital on Friday. (within 36 hrs of admission)

Duplex Kidney is a very rare congenital anomaly. This defect occurs during the development of kidney while baby is in mother’s womb.

Previously this condition used to remain undiagnosed until the child grew up and the disease had caused complications. Thanks to the Ultrasound modality which now helps us to diagnose this condition even before the baby is formed and timely action can be taken to preserve the kidney from further damage. Such highly advanced procedure requires a combination of modern technology and exclusive skill of the surgeon.

The facility of such advanced urological procedure is available in very few centres in India.

Conventionally cholecystectomy is done by laparoscopy by putting four holes over the abdomen. As the surgical field is evolving and technologies are becoming advanced day by day, especially in laparoscopic surgery, now this surgery can be performed by putting single incision over the abdomen.

Recently, this operation has been performed successfully for the very first time in Punjab at RG Stone and Super Speciality Hospital. The patient was a young lady and was distressed with gall stone problem since a long and was planning to do this operation in least possible invasive way. As per the plan, procedure went smoothly by single hole over the abdomen and patient was being discharged the next day. The surgery was a success with single scar, hence cosmetically superior with minimal need of medications and with no chance of pain in long run at other scar sites.

The dawn of new era of laparoscopy has been started and minimal invasive surgery has become more minimal. In the above single port cholecystestomy, state of the art imported instruments were used. After putting single incision over the abdomen; the flexible port was inserted and through the port miniature camera and miniature instruments were used to perform the surgery.

A young female patient named Mrs. Tripta Goel age 25 years from Mandi Gobind Garh (Punjab) India, presented with pain in left flank. Her initial investigations showed that she was having anomaly in her kidney, which is called Horse Shoe kidney. In addition, she was having obstruction at the junction of pelvis and ureter (PUJ Obstruction). This problem requires surgery (Pyeloplasty).

The chief urologist at RG Stone, Ludhiana, Dr. Anand Sehgal (Mch, Urology) performed the procedure of Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty on 29th October, 2009. Conventionally, this surgery is being done through a large incision in abdomen which require prolonged hospitalization and painful recovery. However, surgery at our center was done laparoscopically through three small holes. Mrs. Tripta was discharged from hospital on 4th day in satisfactory condition. This is a technically demanding procedure and is considered to be an advanced laparoscopic urological procedure which is being done in very few centers in India.

Me & my wife came India for the holiday. Before coming here, I was suffering from hernia & my wife had sinus problem. Therefore, while on the tour we decided for the surgery. I searched on the web about the best hospital for the hernia treatment. We found so many hospitals but after going through several enquiries, we both decided to go for speciality hospital that is RG Stone, Ludhiana. We were warmly welcomed by it’s medical superintendent & his core team. It was a pleasant experience of getting an expert treatment from Dr. H.S. Jolly (Laparoscopic Surgeon), Dr. S.V. Gupta (ENT Surgeon) & their team. After the surgery, within two days we were feeling much more comfortable.

All in all, we are really impressed by the facilities provided by the hospital & pleasing behavior of staff. Thanks to entire RG Stone family. Keep it up…

Child’s gall stones removed by needloscopy

admin — Tue, 15 May 2007 13:16:15 +0000

A team of doctors at RG Stone and Super Speciality Hospital, successfully performed a highly advanced needloscopy operation on three and a half year old girl, Anisha for removal of gall stones. It was the first surgical procedure of its kind in Punjab.

The surgery known as “micro-invasive laparoscopic cholecystectomy or needloscopy” was performed by Dr H.S. Jolly, Chief Laparoscopic Surgeon at the centre, who was assisted by Dr Anand Sehgal, Urologist, and Dr Bhupinder Pal Singh, Consultant Anesthesiologist.

Dr Jolly informed that Anisha had been complaining of pain in the abdomen for close to a year but all medications had failed to help her. With time, she also developed recurrent nausea and vomiting along with generalised weakness. As her symptoms worsened, her parents brought her to city hospital.

“Thorough examination and investigations revealed that Anisha had a stone in her gall bladder, which was the reason for her agony. She was admitted to the hospital on May 8 where the child underwent needloscopy on May 9. In this procedure, state-of-the-art miniature laparoscope (4 mm), also known as needloscope, was used and only three very small holes of 5 mm were made through the abdomen. After 72 hours of observation, the patient was found to have fully recovered.”

Dr Jolly said gall stones were earlier treated conventionally by open cholecystectomy, but with the development of laparoscopy and minimal invasive surgical techniques, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was the treatment of choice even in children. Dr Jolly claimed that the advantages of needloscopy over the routine laparoscopic surgery were invisible scar, lesser hospital stay, lesser pain and lesser requirement of medication.

Moreover, the minimal invasive surgery, or for that matter a procedure like needloscopy, was not that expensive and cost almost the same like traditional surgery, if shorter stay in the hospital and fast recovery were taken in consideration.
