Baramulla, March 14: The Government Medical College (GMC) Baramulla has achieved a major medical milestone by performing its first-ever chest wall reconstruction surgery.
Medical Superintendent Associated Hospital GMC Baramulla Dr. Parvaiz Masoodi told Rising Kashmir that the surgery was performed on a 25-year-old female suffering from pectus carinatum, a condition that causes the breastbone to protrude outwards.
“The surgery involved the excision of the 8th, 9th, and 10th ribs and was conducted by a team of expert surgeons, headed by Dr Mir Mushtaq and Dr Fozia, while Dr Fayaz served as the anesthetist,” he said.
The patient is reportedly recovering well and has also shown significant cosmetic improvement.
The successful surgery has been hailed as a major accomplishment for the institution and has been attributed to the efforts of the institution’s Principal, Dr. Professor Ruby Reshi.
A healthcare official said that Dr. Reshi’s leadership and guidance have been instrumental in helping the institution achieve new heights.
“This is a significant milestone for GMC Baramulla and we are proud of our medical team for their dedication and expertise in successfully conducting this surgery,” said Dr. Parvaiz Masoodi.
The success of this surgery has opened up new avenues for the institution and has given hope to patients suffering from similar conditions.
