Lucknow. The Minimal Access Smart Surgery Hospital (MASSH) has achieved a significant breakthrough in the medical field by successfully treating one of the world's rarest gallbladder conditions using 3D Rubina 4K laparoscopic technology. A 36-year-old woman from Bihar, who came for gallbladder stone treatment, was diagnosed with a rare condition known as Portal Cavernoma during an ultrasound examination. This condition causes veins around the gallbladder to swell, increasing the risk of severe bleeding during surgery.

Despite the complexity, the expert team at MASSH completed the surgery in just 49 minutes, whereas such procedures typically take up to 4 hours.

Critical Condition Managed with Precision
The patient had an 18 mm stone lodged in the gallbladder duct, posing a life-threatening situation. If left untreated, it could have led to gallbladder rupture, bile leakage, and sepsis, a critical condition. The detection of Portal Cavernoma further complicated the surgery.

Dr. Sachin Ambekar, Director of the Minimal Access Surgery Department at MASSH, explained,
"It was an emergency case. The gallbladder’s condition was so severe that the surgery had to be performed immediately without any pre-surgical measures like shunting or embolization."

Dr. Ambekar stated that in his extensive experience, he had never encountered such a rare condition before. Globally, only 21 cases of this combination have been reported, and this was the 22nd case. In India, only 12 cases had been reported so far, making this the 13th case. Between 2010 and 2018, only 11 such cases were documented worldwide.

3D Laparoscopic Technology Made the Difference
Dr. Ambekar further shared that the patient had no underlying chronic liver disease, a common cause of Portal Cavernoma. It was an inherited condition, making the surgery even more critical. The use of advanced 3D technology instead of traditional 2D techniques made the surgery safer, quicker, and more efficient. The procedure was completed without any complications, and the patient was discharged the very next day.

MASSH's Commitment to Advanced Healthcare
Mr. Hanish Bansal, Executive Director of MASSH, expressed his pride in this achievement,
"We are reaching new heights in solving complex medical cases. This successful surgery demonstrates that with cutting-edge technology and expertise, even the most challenging diseases can be treated effectively."

This success story at MASSH highlights the fusion of advanced technology and medical expertise, paving the way for better outcomes in treating rare and complex conditions.
