Pediatric Surgical Condition Treated

Successful management of a wee newborn with a major anomaly!

With immense pleasure I would like to announce that we have successfully treated a newborn with an enormous cyst in the abdomen through laparoscopic surgery (Key hole surgery).

Six day old newborn with a mere weight of 1.80 kg had a large Choledochal Cyst (cyst arising from biliary tract). We successfully excised the cyst through laparoscopy. Advantage of this approach is expeditious recovery and excellent cosmetic result. A large abdominal scar was avoided. I would like to thank Dr Gurusev for valuable support during the procedure, Dr Dilip Chavan for precise anesthesia and Dr Anand Bedekar for post operative neonatal care.

This is probably the youngest and the tiniest newborn to be managed complex and supra major surgery through laparoscopy.
