Mysore/Mysuru: A rare complex liver surgery was successfully performed on a 65-year-old man at Cauvery Cancer Centre (CCC) in city recently.
Chickkamuddenayaka, the patient with high jaundice, severe itching with progressive weight loss, after visiting multiple hospitals came to Cauvery Cancer Centre where he was later diagnosed with Hilar Cholangio Carcinoma (a rare type of bile duct cancer stage IIIC). He was admitted at the hospital and the medical team prepared him for the surgery.
He underwent a complex liver surgery where whole tumour (bile duct cancer with left side of liver) was removed successfully. Post-operation, he was managed in ICU for two days under meticulous observation and treatment. He recovered well, his itching came down drastically, even the jaundice level started coming down and he was discharged on the seventh day after he completely recovered.
This was a complex surgery not routinely done.

Girish, Consultant Laproscopic Surgeon Dr. R.M. Aravind, Consultant Anaesthesiologists Dr. Keshavmurthy and Dr. Harish Kumar, Chief Consultant Intensivist Dr. Vaidyanathan, Consultant Pathologist Dr. Damodar, Consultant General Physician Dr. S.P.
