Another feather to the Sanjivini acclaim!
The 23-day-old baby was hurried into the emergency room of Sanjivini Hospital with complaints of acute pain, evident from the intense crying and groaning. She was then diagnosed with an absent anal opening and a “distended abdomen”. Her parents, having consulted many health care centres for urgent treatment in Basti, were deeply crestfallen as the situation worsened day by day.
Her rocky road to effective treatment ended when she was admitted at Sanjivini Hospital and Research Center, where Dr. Ashutosh Pandey, a prominent pediatric surgeon with related experience of more than 22 years, undertook the case.
“The child had a condition called imperforate anus, which restricted the flow of stool and resulted in abdomen distension. After all the investigations, we decided to operate on an emergency basis through a colostomy procedure under the effect of general anaesthesia, which is high-risk surgery for such a small child”, said Dr. Ashutosh Pandey.
Despite all these challenges, the specialised team at Sanjivni not only successfully implemented the surgery but also restricted the rise of significant post-op complications in the baby. The infant is now recovering for a healthy and exciting life ahead.
