Dangerous Parasitic Cysts Were Successfully Removed by Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery

 Dr. Sumanta Dey (Advanced Laparoscopic, Bariatric & GI OncoSurgeon - Ruby General Hospital)



Mr. Kundu was a free-spirited man, until one day he noticed a big lump in his belly. In this pandemic scenario, it was a double blow for him, when he came to know that he is having two large Hydatid Cysts capturing almost half of his liver. These are Parasitic Cysts containing tapeworm larvae, which grow in the body for years before symptoms appear. When cysts become large, they may cause nausea, weakness, coughing and stomach or chest pain. Hydatid disease is endemic in India. The annual incidence is varying, 1 to 200 per 100000 population.

Mr. Kundu & his family members were pretty afraid when they came to know he needs a major surgery to get rid of it. But they were convinced that the whole procedure can be done by Advanced Laparoscopy with prior optimization to minimize the suffering as much as possible.

He underwent a major Laparoscopic Liver Surgery under to get rid of the dangerous disease. The same day of operation he was able to sit, walk & eat food. He had a smooth post-operative recovery with minimal suffering & all set to go home on post-operative day 3.

Mr. Kundu is all set to start his dynamic lifestyle with full of energy.

Let's wish him a disease-free life.
