Pune doctors perform quick surgery, saving Telangana principal
A team of doctors in Pune successfully performed a sleeve gastrectomy on a 55-year-old school principal from Telangana, who had severe obesity and pulmonary hypertension. The surgery, which typically takes 40 minutes, was completed in just 20 minutes. Before the operation, the patient struggled with extreme mobility issues and had been confined to a chair for 35 days. She had previously been deemed unfit for surgery due to her condition but was stabilized in Pune before the procedure. Post-surgery, her recovery has been monitored closely. She is now showing signs of improvement, with her pulmonary hypertension stabilizing and her ability to speak and breathe without supplemental oxygen increasing.
