New Delhi [India], March 13: KIMS SIKHARA Hospital has successfully performed the state's first Uni-Portal VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery) procedure, saving the lives of two patients suffering from severe respiratory complications. The minimally invasive surgery, conducted under the leadership of Chief Consultant Thoracic and Minimal Access Surgeon Dr. Khaja Abdul Moin Beg, marks a significant milestone in advanced thoracic care in Andhra Pradesh.

In a critical case, a 60-year-old man from Guntur, who had a history of hypertension and diabetes, was rushed to KIMS SIKHARA Hospital in an emergency condition due to sudden breathlessness. Upon examination, doctors discovered a ruptured air bubble in his right lung, leading to its complete collapse. Given the urgency, the medical team opted for the Uni-Portal VATS technique minimally invasive procedure requiring only a small incision. Dr. Khaja Abdul Moin Beg and his team successfully completed the surgery in just an hour and a half, restoring the patient's lung function without the need for major incisions, as in conventional bypass surgery.

In another case, a 38-year-old housewife from Vijayawada, suffering from recurrent lung infections, was diagnosed with a fluid-filled cyst in her lower left lung. The same advanced Uni-Portal VATS method was employed to remove the cyst, ensuring a quick recovery and minimal postoperative complications.

Both patients showed remarkable recovery, were discharged within three days, and are now on the path to complete rehabilitation. The successful procedures were made possible through the dedicated efforts of the thoracic surgery team, along with experts from the anaesthesia and critical care departments.
