“There is a scientific way of preparing the patient. Dealing with that was a big challenge at hand”, Dr Mallya explained. “The body had a certain balance with the tumour and the challenge was to stabilise it as the blood pressure levels would drop dramatically post-surgery. Preparation includes balancing blood pressure levels both before and after the surgery to levels that the body can adapt to. If that is not done well, then the patient can collapse,” said Dr Mallya. “In such a surgery, preparation is crucial. The tumor in the left adrenal gland, measuring 2.5 cms, was removed, sparing as much of the normal adrenal gland as possible. Her right adrenal gland along with a 5.5 cm tumor was removed completely. After that Disha was operated using robotic technology. It was done in two hours with 50 ml blood loss. They are very close to the major blood vessels and during operation there are chances of life threatening fluctuation in blood pressure and heart rate.”įirst, Manan was taken for laparoscopic surgery, for left adrenal tumor removal. These are small, triangular shaped glands located on top of both kidneys. According to Dr Ajay Sharma, Chairperson, Urologist and Robotic Surgeon, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, “The tumors of the adrenal gland are very challenging to operate because of their sensitive location.
