The largest private hospital chain in Eastern India Medica Group of Hospitals conducted a critical operation at its flagship facility Medica Superspecialty Hospital in Kolkata. Sanjoy Saha, a 47-year-old male from Tripura was referred to Medica Superspecialty Hospital, Kolkata on 15th March 2022, after initial treatment in Agartala due to his gradual worsening state and anesthesia difficulties.
He was hit by an Air Gun Pallet and was impacted deep inside the facial bones on the left side resulting in pain and swelling over the left hemifacial area. He was found suffering from severe Ankylosing Spondylitis. Routine blood investigations and CT FACE with 3D reconstruction were further done to identify the exact location of the bullet and to spot the Pellet. The surgery was carried out on 19th March 2022. Fibreoptic Bronchoscopy guided Intubation was done, and the surgery was performed smoothly through a behind-the-lip approach. Meticulous Dissection was carried out without injuring any vital structures and the bullet was removed in no time. He was discharged with a very satisfying post-operative evaluation after 2 days of the surgery and is slowly getting back to his normal life.
Dr. Souvik Roy Choudhury said, “The most challenging part of this operation was his anesthesia due to the stiffness in his body. Mr. Saha and his entire family are extremely pleased with the treatment provided to him.We wish him the very best in life.”
