Imphal, August 08 2023:
Dr Moirangthem Niteshore Singh, Consultant ENT Head & Neck Surgeon, Shija Hospitals & Research Institute Pvt Ltd (SHRI) was honoured with a gold medal for presenting a video on KIRSANI procedure at the 9th Annual Conference of the Indian Academy of Otorhinolaryngology Head & Neck Surgeons (IAOHNS) held at Jammu from August 4 to 6 .
According to a press release issued by Takhellambam Premkumar, Deputy Manager, business development, SHRI, Dr Niteshore presented a video demonstrating the innovative surgical procedure which he recently performed at SHRI.
This video was part of the competition that took place during the event and had earned him the aforementioned gold medal.
Notably, the conference was attended by more than 650 delegates from different parts of India.
In the presentation, a groundbreaking surgical technique for a patient suffering from severe respiratory problems due to paralysis of the vocal cords was highlighted.
The patient had certain conditions and co-morbidity, prompting Dr Niteshore to devise an innovative solution.
This resulted in the concept design and implementation of the "KIRSANI"-Laser Transtracheal Posterior Cordectomy procedure.
The name KIRSANI is a tribute to the mentors of Dr Niteshore, namely, Dr Milind V Kirtane from Mumbai and Dr Satish Jain from Jaipur, who guided and nurtured him on his medical journey to unprecedented heights.
The press release further pointed out that this revolutionary surgical method involves a distinctive approach.
Unlike conventional surgeries conducted through the oral route or externally, the KIRSANI procedure employs tracheostomy to create an access point.
SHRI also expressed belief that this surgical procedure was performed for the first time in the world at SHRI as they do not have any literature or evidence of a similar surgery being performed globally.
The management of Shija has extended heartfelt congratulations to Dr Niteshore on his remarkable achievement and extended their wishes for continued success in his future endeavors.
