Event on latest ENT surgeries organised

Srinagar, July 8: Dr Danish Andrabi, a prominent ENT and Valley’s noted Endoscopic Skull Base Surgeon today said that he has acquired the first “Werewolf Coblation System” in Jammu and Kashmir.

This acquisition marks the beginning of a new chapter in the use of coblation technology in ENT surgeries. The new system is a state-of-the-art machine that allows a surgeon to perform surgeries related to Tonsils and Adenoids without any blood loss.

The system also benefits patients with OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnoea) and snoring in carrying out surgeries to open up the airway in an effective manner. It also finds application in the endoscopic removal of nose and brain tumors that are approachable from the nasal route. Such surgeries are performed by Endoscopic Skull Base surgeons and give the advantage of not opening the skull, with no external cuts, scars, and stitches.

Dr Andrabi told the news agency Kashmir News Trust that after shifting to the valley last year, he is in constant quest and motivated to serve the people here with the most advanced technology, for uplifting the ENT services.

In an inaugural function cum academic symposium that was held at Sarovar Portico, the ‘Werewolf System’ was unveiled and its application benefits were explained to the ENT fraternity of J&K.

Dr Srinivas Kishore, a world-renowned ENT and Sleep Apnoea surgeon from Hyderabad, enlightened the attendees with an insightful lecture and video presentation of Sleep Apnoea Surgeries. He is the director of AIG Hospitals Hyderabad and runs a high-volume center for treatment of Sleep Apnoea.
