Presenting everyone One of the challenging Thyroidectomy I have performed till date.

Patient had a Thyroid swelling since 8-9 years. With mild Hyperthyroidism.
On work-up it was diagnosed to be a Multi-nodular Goitre. Patient was made Euthyroid before surgery.

It was challenging because of short neck, trachea was pushed anteriorly by the lateral growth of the gland, displacing larynx in the front and Carotid vessels medialy.

Fibroptic awake intubation was done expertly by Anesthetist Dr Ganesh Kolhe. And we proceeded to surgery.

Due to long standing Thyroid swelling, patient had multiple vascular supply and draining veins.

After a long enduring surgery we were successfully able to excise the entire gland leaving behind small 5-6 gm of thyroid tissue at the left Superior pole.

Procedure was uneventful and patient extubated successfully with no vocal cord paralysis.

Are those Gall stones troubling you???
Having upper belly pain??? .....Repeated bouts of gastritis?
Loss of appetite?? 😵‍💫

Even if not now, they can give you trouble by blocking the bile duct which has severe consequences like Jaundice, Pancreatitis and infections. 🌡️

Easy way out is getting them removed surgically with minimum pain and hospital stay with Laparoscopy.

Improper bowel movements??? Problem with properly emptying your p**p??? Your lifestyle may be the problem. 😓

We remain busy in our daily schedule trying to tackle the challenges in professional life that we many times ignore our body. There is a lot of stress about project completion or completing the task at the end of the day, that we don't do what's needed.
Our sedentary lifestyle is one of the major reasons for non-pathological constipation. Lack of exercise or physical activity, long sitting hours, improper meals and arbitrary meal timings, consuming less water etc etc are the factors which make you constipated and bloated.

Healthy lifestyle which includes a 45 min moderate exercise, which may be a brisk walk, skipping, cycling, swimming, yoga or any other sort of activity is going to promote your gut health. Helps in improving digestion and absorption of nutrients. 🏃🏋️🏊

Healthy eating like fibrous fruits (apple, oranges, papaya, pineapple, etc) and vegetables raw and leaft provide a good fibre content for your digestion, that leads to good absorption and proper propulsion of food in the intestine. 🍐🥦🥬🍎
A mixture of Flax seed, pumpkin seed, chia seed, sesame seeds is good fibre rich supplement and also helps in weight loss. 🥑

Fixed meal timings so that your stomach knows when to expect food for digestion and work accordingly. Irregular meal timings lead to indigestion and bloating. 🕐🕗

And last but not the least Water. Good hydration is important for good digestion. More water consumption will help in good food mixing and better nutrient absorption as well as smooth propulsion of stool in the intestine. Recommended 3 litres of water daily and more in summers and working out. 🥤💧

Healthy gut keeps you away from numerous diseases and makes you stronger and live longer! 😇

Hope you have a great Sunday and Happy New year!

Hello all, I performed a very interesting surgery today and i thought I should share it with you guys! 😇
Recieved a call from the emergency department for a patient with sudden onset pain in right leg and calf since early morning with slight change in the colour towards a maroon tinge to the toes. A colour Doppler of the leg showed a blood clot around his knee region (distal superficial femoral artery to be specific for my medico friends) 😉.
This is an emergency and the surgery was planned to remove the clot using minimal invasive technique immediately. We use something called as a Fogarty's catheter (i.e. a long slender wire like with balloon at the tip).

Now before we "skip to the good part" , on detailed history taking, patient told that he is a patient of Mitral Stenosis with Mitral regurgitation (which is a disease of the heart valve). So a clot forms on the valve and gets dislogded to be circulated with the blood. Unfortunately he had the episode when he was asleep (which is most common) and the clot blocked the artery going to his right leg.

The good part now is that we have successfully removed the blood clot and blood flow to his leg is restored and the leg is saved. ✌️

Moral of the story : Eat healthy, Excercise in moderation, do not take stress and take good care of your heart specially (kyuki ek hi hota hai)😉

Healthy living, Happy Living!

Heartburn!!
We have frequently come across burning type sensation in the upper part of our belly. Why is that?? 🤔
That is because there is increased acid production in your stomach. Whenever you have a heavy meal, spicy meal or that mouthwatering Vada-pav and Samosas... Your stomach reacts the same way by producing more acid to digest it.
When there is increased acid production, it starts kind of eating its own lining giving a burning sensation. When it increases over a period of time it starts to reflux in your food pipe giving a burning sensation in the middle and lower part of your chest falsely giving an impression as if your heart is burning....hence the term "Heartburn".

Please like & share and follow for more updates on how to prevent it and it's treatment!
