At Bareilly’s Shri Ram Murti Smarak (SRMS) Hospital, a recent medical marvel unfolded under the care of Dr Shubhanshu Gupta, Senior Onco-Surgeon & Dr Siddhant Singh, Consultant—Oncology Surgeon, DNB (Surgical Oncology) at SRMS Institute of Medical Sciences, showcasing a breakthrough in the treatment of a neuroendocrine tumor in the lower rectum.
A 42-year-old patient presented with alarming symptoms of rectal bleeding. Through Dr Siddhant’s expertise, the diagnosis revealed a challenging case of a neuroendocrine tumor in lower rectum. Dr Siddhant employed his unparalleled skillset in performing a Robotic Abdominoperineal Resection (APR) for the patient, wherein, this innovative procedure aimed at excising the tumor from the lower rectum, marked a turning point in patient’s journey towards recovery.
Speaking about Robotic Onco-surgeries, Dr Shubhanshu Gupta says, “Faster recovery, lesser pain & better functional outcomes are some of the advantages of robotic surgeries. Most of the cancers can now be safely operated robotically in selected patients. However, the accelerated recovery in such cases attribute to pioneering use of robotic technology, meticulous surgical expertise & personalized patient care, wherein patients face reduced pain post-operation.”
However, what sets this case apart is not just the precision of SRMS medicos’ surgical approach, but also the remarkable & faster recovery of patient. Speaking about it, Dr Siddhant Singh says, “In the case, the patient resumed his diet & started walking right from post operation on Day-1. Typically, patients undergoing such procedures anticipate lengthy hospital stays. However, this patient experienced a groundbreaking shift in the recovery process & was discharged on Day-4 post-operation, a stark contrast to the conventional extended hospitalization periods for similar cases.”
