A team of doctors from the Eastern Command, Command Hospital in Kolkata has achieved a significant medical breakthrough by successfully removing a Lung Myofibroblastic Tumor using a pioneering bronchoscopic technique under local anesthesia.
This innovative procedure was performed on a 57-year-old patient, sparing them from the potential complications associated with major surgery.
The bronchoscopic technique allowed for a minimally invasive approach, significantly reducing recovery time and risks, thus marking a significant advancement in the field of cardiothoracic and oncological surgeries.
This success not only demonstrates the high level of expertise within the Command Hospital’s medical team but also sets a new standard in treating complex pulmonary conditions.
The introduction of this technique is expected to pave the way for new methods in surgical procedures, offering patients safer alternatives and better outcomes.
This achievement underscores the commitment of the Indian Army’s medical branch to adopting and advancing innovative medical practices to improve patient care.
