Divulging the details, Prof Bhagat said the highly complex surgery took almost four hours to complete. “The patient is recovering well and will be discharged soon. He is expected to resume his daily routine work in another 10 days. Anaesthesia doctors, Prof Pramod Kumar (Head) and Dr Gurjeet Gandhi, took care of the anaesthesia part,” he said.

Medical Superintendent Dr HS Rekhi said, “Rajindra Hospital is now well equipped to carry out such complex surgeries. Patients from all over Punjab are travelling to the hospital for all kinds of advanced surgeries in ENT.”
