Amrita Hospital Saves Kazakh Woman's Life After Trachea Blockage
Imagine a woman whose breathing tube (trachea) got blocked by a tumor from her lung cancer coming back.
She couldn't breathe on her own and needed a machine to help her.
Doctors at Amrita Hospital used a special tool, like a tiny camera, to remove part of the tumor and put in a small tube (stent) to keep her breathing tube open.
This helped her breathe again, and she was able to leave the hospital quickly.
This procedure saved her life and allowed her to continue with other treatments to fight cancer.
A 42-year-old Kazakh woman experienced a relapse of lung cancer.
A tumor blocked her trachea, requiring a ventilator.
Conventional surgery was too risky, and other treatments were not possible.
Doctors used a minimally invasive bronchoscopic procedure to remove the tumor and insert a stent.
The patient recovered quickly and was able to breathe on her own and go home.
