Berhampur, May 4: SUM Hospital, Berhampur, has achieved a remarkable medical milestone by successfully performing two rare, life-saving surgeries on patients who had been turned away by multiple other facilities.
The first success involved a highly specialized Single Stage Laryngotracheal Reconstruction (SSLTR) to treat complete airway obstruction. A dedicated team—Dr. Priyajeet Panigrahi, Dr. Sameer Panigrahi, and Dr. Subhajeet Sahoo—executed the complex procedure with exceptional precision.
In a separate case, a multidisciplinary team including Dr. Sudhakar Jena, Pravat Jagdev, Dr. Sairudra Puhan, and Dr. Pratyushkanti Mishra successfully managed a rare nerve sheath tumor in the neck.
These achievements highlight the hospital’s growing expertise in handling high-risk, complex surgical cases. Hospital Director Deba Prasad Dash attributed the success to "precision, teamwork, and success," noting that the institution's robust ICU infrastructure and interdisciplinary approach have made it a premier tertiary care center in Odisha.
By offering hope to patients with limited options elsewhere, SUM Hospital continues to solidify its reputation for delivering advanced, patient-centric healthcare and tackling the most challenging medical conditions in the region.
