Lucknow: In Uttar Pradesh's private healthcare sector, a young couple welcomed a 2kg preterm baby diagnosed with TGA (Transposition of Great Arteries), showcasing a notable occurrence. Following the administration of life-saving prostaglandin, the baby was transferred to Tender Palm Hospital in Lucknow, under the expert care of Senior Surgeon Dr. Vijay Agarwal. After a challenging 7-hour surgery led by Dr. Vijay Agarwal and his team, the child's chest was left open for 24 hours. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the ICU nursing staff, expert intensivist, and pediatrician, the child was successfully taken off the ventilator after 3 days. "This condition involves the aorta emerging from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery from the left ventricle, which is opposite to the norm in humans. Handling the child's coronary artery posed additional challenges, being intramural and increasing the surgical complexity, thus elevating the risk of mortality on the operating table." Dr. Vijay Agarwal told. "The success after surgery is attributed to the teamwork and expertise of the ICU team," stated Dr. Vinay Sharma, CEO of Tender Palm Hospital. Dr. Vineet Shukla stated, "As of now, our hospital is the sole facility capable of handling infants below 5 kg and adhering to the new norms. We extend support through the Ayushman scheme and CM fund for these children." Dr. Vijay Agarwal added, "The child is expected to live a normal life without medications after three months, a fortunate outcome considering that 80% of children with TGA don't survive the first month of life."

In a landmark achievement, doctors at the Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai announced the successful Total Knee Replacement (TKR) procedure on a 72-year-old American man, weighing a remarkable 193 kg. This groundbreaking surgery marks a significant milestone as the heaviest patient ever to undergo such a procedure globally. TKR stands as a transformative intervention for individuals grappling with excruciating knee pain, offering them renewed mobility and an improved quality of life. However, for overweight individuals, accessing this treatment presents formidable challenges due to heightened surgical risks and technical intricacies.
According to the surgical team, led by Dr. Rajesh Nawalkar, Senior Consultant in Orthopaedics, every patient's unique circumstances demand a tailored approach to surgery. By meticulously customizing their techniques and collaborating closely with fellow medical professionals, they successfully navigated the complexities posed by the patient's weight, culminating in a triumphant outcome. Among the foremost hurdles encountered in TKR for overweight patients are the elevated risks associated with anesthesia and the heightened potential for embolism. This underscores the importance of precision and vigilance in addressing the specific needs of each patient to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.
Furthermore, the conventional use of a tourniquet, a standard protocol in TKR surgeries, presents technical challenges due to the patient's larger thigh circumference, heightening the risk of tissue damage and post-operative complications. In response to these challenges, Dr. Nawalkar collaborated closely with instrument manufacturers to devise specialized instruments tailored to accommodate the patient's unique anatomy, thereby ensuring optimal surgical outcomes. Additionally, meticulous preoperative assessments and consultations were conducted to ascertain the patient's readiness and obtain informed consent.
Richard Koszarek, the patient, underwent the surgery on January 7, 2024, with no reported complications during the procedure. However, the path to recovery was equally crucial, with rehabilitation playing a pivotal role in achieving successful outcomes. Despite facing reluctance from numerous doctors in India and abroad due to his weight, Richard expressed gratitude to the surgical team for their unwavering commitment and skillful intervention, which enabled him to regain mobility and resume an active lifestyle.
