Unique & Challenging case of Situs Inversus Condition

By Dr. Harsh Kapoor in Metro Heart Institute with Multispecialty, Faridabad

Metro Hospital is proud to announce the successful surgery of a 35-year-old woman who was suffering from a rare condition known as Situs Inversus Totalis. The patient, Ms. Saroj, had been experiencing pain on the left side of her body, which was initially thought to be related to her stomach. However, after conducting a CT scan, it was discovered that Ms. Saroj had a complete reversal of her internal organs, with her liver, gallbladder, heart and intestines all located on the opposite side of her body.

Ms. Saroj was immediately referred to Metro Hospital, Noida, where she underwent few tests to determine the best course of treatment. It was determined that her gallbladder stones were causing the pain on the left side, and that surgery would be necessary to remove them.

The surgery was conducted by Dr. Kushal Bairoliya and Dr. Adarsh Kumar, two highly skilled general and laparoscopic surgeons at Metro Hospital. The procedure was unique in that it required the surgeons to operate on the left side of the body, instead of the right side as is typically done. The surgery was a complete success and Ms. Saroj is now recovering well and is expected to make a full recovery.

The successful surgery is a testament to the expertise and dedication of the medical team at Metro Hospital. We are proud to have been able to provide Ms. Saroj with the high-quality care she needed and we wish her all the best in her recovery.
