Dr. Sabyasachi Parida, a Senior Surgical Oncologist, led a team of medical professionals to achieve a remarkable feat at the KIMS Cancer Center. They have marked a significant milestone in surgical oncology by successfully operating on a young man with a huge left-sided massive 2 kg diaphragmatic tumor.

The tumor on the diaphragm was hindering the individual's ability to consume solid food. The diaphragm is a crucial muscular partition separating the chest from the abdomen. The tumor on the diaphragm measured approximately 24x17 cm, weighed over 2 kg, and was surgically removed.

Traditionally, this kind of surgery required invasive procedures such as opening both the abdomen and chest which poses a risk to the patient. However, Dr. Parida's innovative approach avoided the need for a chest incision or a chest drain, significantly reducing postoperative pain and enhancing the patient's recovery process.

The surgical team consists of Dr. Monika Dabgotra, OT Technician; Mrs. Kalpana Ojha, Senior OT Sister; Mikina Pradhan, Consultant Anaesthetist; Mr. Bibhas Prasad Barik, Senior OT Support staff; along with Nursing Officers and other dedicated staff. They have demonstrated exceptional skill and teamwork throughout the six-hour procedure.

They have utilized state-of-the-art equipment and modern modular operating theatres at the KIMS Cancer Center. The team performed exceptionally as they required blood transfusions and they ensured the safety and well-being of the patient. The surgery has also concluded without intraoperative complications.

After the successful removal of the 2 kg tumor, the team of doctors reconstructed the large diaphragmatic defect. The patient woke up comfortably on the operating table and recovered swiftly without the need for respiratory support or intensive care.

Dr. Parida emphasized, "This surgery underscores our commitment to innovative and patient-centered care. By leveraging advanced techniques and collaborative expertise, we can tackle even the most challenging cases with precision and compassion."
