Whipples surgery done in Manali

A fifty year old had come with obstructive jaundice and ct had showed a 4 cm mass in the head of the pancreas that looked unresectable. She was planned for a hepaticojejunostomy or diversion. On table her lesion was mobile, so it was decided to resect it. A Whipples pylorus sparing duodenectomy was done and she stood the procedure well and was discharged on the 9th postoperative day. Her resection margins were clear. This is the first time a Whipples procedure has been successfully done here.

Ent camp huge success

Dr. George Ani and Dr. Vibhor saw five hundred patients and operated on twenty, juggling the opd and long hours of operating on the twenty four hour sundial of time amazingly. Thanks to both and thanks to the team. The paucity of available options has led to a huge burden of ent disease here, with little resolution till some one is able to help.
