In an inspiring medical miracle, doctors in Kolkata have saved a five-month-old baby boy from irreversible kidney damage with a unique surgery.
The baby from Nabadwip in Nadia district recently underwent a successful laparoscopic pyeloplasty—a minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery to correct a severe kidney blockage at Manipal Hospital in Mukundapur.
The delicate procedure, performed by Dr Subhasis Saha, who is the consultant paediatric surgeon at the hospital, involved treating congenital hydronephrosis, a condition where the kidney becomes abnormally swollen due to urine buildup caused by an obstruction.
