ITANAGAR, 6 Apr:<\/strong> A city-based hospital successfully performed a thyroid surgery on 3 April.<\/p>\n The surgery was performed at Heema Hospital and was led by a highly skilled team comprising head and neck oncosurgeon Dr Toni Borang, senior ENT head and neck surgeon Dr Kesang W Thongdok, and senior anaesthetist Dr Genya Zirdo. They were assisted by surgeon Dr Doka Jamoh, the hospital authority stated in a release.<\/p>\n The intricate surgery lasted approximately 7.5 hours.<\/p>\n The excised thyroid mass weighed nearly 500 grams, substantially larger than a normal thyroid gland, which typically weighs between 15 to 20 grams, managing director the hospital, Dr Byabang Heema said.<\/p>\n The patient is currently recovering well post-operation, and their condition is stable.<\/p>\n “The procedure, involving a suspected thyroid tumour [as biopsy report is awaited], marked a significant milestone in delivering advanced and affordable healthcare in the region,” he said.<\/p>\n Dr Heema stated that the patient had previously been referred outside the state by other hospitals due to the complexity of the case. However, the estimated cost of treatment – ranging between Rs 2.5 to Rs 3 lakhs – posed a significant financial burden, he said.<\/p>\n “The procedure was successfully performed at less than half the projected cost, reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to making quality healthcare accessible and affordable,” the release added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ITANAGAR, 6 Apr: A city-based hospital successfully performed a thyroid surgery on 3 April.
