Panvel Woman Recovers After Rare SpyGlass Procedure
A 70-year-old woman named Sushila had a big stone stuck in her bile duct, which made her very sick.
Doctors tried to remove it using a special tool called ERCP, but it didn't work.
She was in pain and had a yellow color in her skin.
Finally, doctors used a rare procedure called SpyGlass Cholangioscopy.
They looked inside, broke up the stone, and cleaned it out.
Within a day, she was feeling better and went home.
The doctor said this new method is great for tough cases and helps people recover faster, and the patient was very happy to be healthy again.
A 70-year-old woman from Panvel recovered after a SpyGlass Cholangioscopy.
She suffered from severe abdominal pain and jaundice for two months.
Traditional ERCP procedures failed to remove the 3cm bile duct stone.
The SpyGlass procedure involved direct visualization and stone fragmentation.
Patient was discharged within 24 hours of the procedure.
