Imphal, February 17 2018:
Keeping pace with the rapidly evolving high end minimally invasive techniques all over the world, Shija Hospital performed painless "pinhole surgical procedures" to stop fatal bleeding from kidneys for the first time in the State.
According to a press release from Shija Hospitals & Research Institute, the ever so sophisticated advanced technique without open surgery was performed at the State of the art Cath Lab facility of the hospital by Dr Thangjam Gautam Singh, Consultant Interventional Radiologist.
He informed that a total of five cases have been done successfully so far.

Explaining the procedure, Dr Gautam elaborated that traditionally open surgeries were done for various diseases such as Renal aneurysm (bulging of artery inside kidney) and Renal Arteriovenous fistula (AVF � abnormal communication between artery and veins inside kidney) in the bleeding kidneys and sometimes led to removal of kidneys to save lives of the patients.
Now with Interventional Radiology, through a needle puncture in the groin, the blood vessel causing bleeding inside the kidney was closed using coiling and embolization.
This saved the patient from life threatening condition and also saved him from losing a kidney.
The patient was also saved from severe pain, prolonged hospital stay and unnecessary medication, it said.
Dr Gautam further informed that similar procedures have been performed at Shija Hospital for bleeding of most organs of the body such as bleeding in lungs (Bronchial Arterial Embolization), bleeding in intestine (GI Embolization), bleeding in uterus (Uterine Artery Embolization, bleeding in abdomen (Aortic Aneurysm Embolization) etc.
