Nagpur: Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur is a leading healthcare provider with a tradition of care and innovation that makes this hospital a boon for patients in Central India. Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur, which handles critical patients, now has a standalone cancer center headed by Dr. Ramakant Tayade, senior Oncosurgeon, who successfully treated yet another critical and diagnostically challenging case of a 70-year female patient, presented with c/o occasional pain in the abdomen, altered bowel movement, loss of appetite and anemia.
The 70-year-old female patient came to Wockhardt Hospital with severe anemic conditions. She was being investigated and treated for anemia for the last two months elsewhere and had received multiple blood transfusions. But in spite of that her hemoglobin levels were not up to the mark. Her outside CT Scan was done which suggested a small bowel mass. Inflammatory. Hence she was advised of a costly investigation of Enteroscopy at Hyderabad.
But as the patient was not in a position to spend money on such costly treatment, they approached Dr. Ramakant Tayade said Dr. Tayade. Then they discussed the problem with Dr. Tayade and they were asked to come to Nagpur for investigation. She is a treated case of Leiomyosarcoma right hand a malignant form of soft tissue tumor in the past. She was thoroughly investigated at Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur for anemia, as a team by Dr. Tayade himself, Hematologist, Gastroenterologist, and a Physician.
After thorough investigations, Dr. Tayade came to the conclusion that the reason for her anemia is blood loss through small intestines. As the patient was poor and couldn’t afford the costly investigation I.e. Enteroscopy, Dr. Tayade did diagnostic Laparoscopy and found out that there is a mass in the small intestine which is causing intestinal obstruction and the probable cause of anemia. Surgery was done and that part of the small intestine was removed. The patient recovered well from surgery and was discharged in stable condition.
THE CASE WAS ALSO UNIQUE IN THE SENSE THAT SHE IS CASE OF RARE condition Situs inversus, a rare condition where all the organs of the body exchange their position and also **the osteopath of the resected specimen is a very rare occurrence.
We at Wockhardt, provided this patient with diagnosis and treatment at a very affordable cost which was very high risk for surgery, which was the happiest moment for all of us.
