A Mumbai hospital has given a new lease of life to a man from Chunnabhatti, who had been struggling to eat food for more than one year due to a rare condition.
He was suffering from Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS), a rare vascular disorder affecting only 1–2 people per 100,000. The complex procedure was led by Dr. Jignesh Gandhi, senior Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgeon, using the advanced Da Vinci Xi robotic system, at Gleneagles Hospital in Parel.
