Bhubaneswar (India CSR): Bagchi Sri Shankara Cancer Centre & Research Institute (BSSCCRI) has successfully performed its first major thoracic surgery, marking a significant milestone in advanced cancer treatment.
Dr. Kunal Nandy, Consultant, GI-HPB Minimal Access Oncosurgeon, led the expert team in conducting a 3-stage Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) esophagectomy on a 64-year-old patient with esophageal cancer.
A Leap in Minimally Invasive Surgery
The procedure utilized a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach with an advanced Olympus laparoscopic cart enabled with Indocyanine Green (ICG) technology. This cutting-edge technique ensured:
✔️ Reduced surgical complications
✔️ Quicker recovery
✔️ Minimized post-operative risks
The use of ICG technology allowed real-time identification and intraoperative clipping of the thoracic duct, significantly reducing the risk of post-surgical chyle leak—a major complication in esophageal surgeries.
Swift Recovery and Positive Outcome
The patient made an uneventful recovery and was discharged within 10 days, able to resume a soft diet without complications. This achievement reinforces BSSCCRI’s commitment to world-class, minimally invasive cancer treatment with the latest technological advancements.
Pioneering Cancer Care at BSSCCRI
This landmark surgery highlights BSSCCRI’s expertise in advanced oncology care and dedication to enhancing patient outcomes through innovative surgical techniques.
“Our goal is to continue revolutionizing cancer treatment with minimally invasive approaches that ensure faster recovery and improved quality of life for our patients,” said Dr. Kunal Nandy.
