According to the doctors, the robot helps to see the area around the tumor easily. The tumor could be easily removed through this surgery. In such a situation, doctors advised trans oral robotic assisted surgery equipped with state-of-the-art technology. This surgery is very easy and there is a risk of bleeding less.
The patient was conscious during the operation
Dr. Kalpana Nagpal, robotic surgeon of the ENT department of Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, said that the prince was having difficulty in swallowing and breathing. The patient had to undergo trans-oral surgery with the help of a robot. Through this surgery, a large parapharyngeal space tumor was removed from the side of the throat. The Prince was conscious during the whole process. In this, anesthesia is given using a fiber optic laryngoscope because it is impossible to give traditional general anesthesia through the nose or throat without a tracheostomy. Additionally, taking out the tumor without making any external cuts is a big challenge in itself.
The doctor told that after the patient’s surgery, his tumor was removed in two parts. Both anesthesia and trans oral removal were a challenge. The patient was discharged within 24 hours after the operation. The patient’s condition is fine now.
