Oncosurgery team at Noora Hospital achieves remarkable milestone

Srinagar, Oct 19: In a landmark case that highlights the exceptional expertise and dedication of the Oncosurgery team at Noora Hospital in Srinagar, a 70-year-old patient with a highly complex recurrent retroperitoneal sarcoma has successfully undergone major surgery, previously deemed inoperable by multiple institutions.

The patient, whose condition involved critical structures in the abdomen and a history of radiotherapy, was given little hope until being seen by the skilled oncosurgery team at Noora Hospital.

Led by renowned cancer surgeons Dr Amir M Parray, Dr Mudasir Bashir, and Dr Asim M Patloo, the surgical team undertook a challenging left compartment resection, which included en bloc tumor excision, right nephrectomy, right hemicolectomy, pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy, segmental inferior vena cava resection, and psoas muscle resection. The intricacy of the operation required exceptional skill and meticulous planning, given the patient’s prior treatments and the involvement of several vital organs.

In close collaboration, the anesthesia team, directed by Dr Showkat Ahmad, Dr Obaid, and Dr Meesam played a critical role in ensuring the patient’s stability throughout the procedure. Post-operatively, the patient was expertly managed in the Intensive Care Unit by a team of trained intensivists and dedicated ICU staff, underscoring the hospital’s comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to care.

After a successful recovery, the patient was discharged in stable condition and is now undergoing post-operative rehabilitation at home. This case is a testament to the synergy between surgical excellence in oncology, advanced anesthesia, critical care, and the unwavering support of Noora Hospital’s administrative and clinical staff.
