Hyderabad:

Osmania Hospital successfully conducted a rare surgery on Saturday and saved the life of a 64-year-old man from Anantapur.

Talking about the surgery, Dr Nagender, professor of surgery, said, “The patient, Obulesh, was suffering from hydatid cyst and when he came for a check-up, his right lung, liver and abdomen were completely affected. We at the government hospital could do the surgery, which would cost lakhs in a private hospital, for no cost.”

Obulesh was admitted and treatment began 15 days ago. Others in the team of professors of surgery included Ram Singh and Jevan.

Dr Raghu Ramulu, HOD of anastasia, along with his team, helped in the surgery.

Dr Nagender added, “We want people to know no matter how big and rare the cases are here at government hospitals, we can work on them. Obulesh is fit and fine now. Earlier he had no hopes of getting treatment.”

Obulesh said,”I was not sure of the cure. I had no money to get treatment at any private hospital, due to which I came here from Anantapur. The doctor said I would be okay, after 15 days. I am told that I am okay; the treatment has been successful. I am very happy. “
