Doctors at the Ispat General Hospital run by the Rourkela Steel Plant, an arm of state-run Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) had successfully performed a rare cranioplasty and saved the life of a 22-year-old youth.
Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure used to correct a defect in a bone of the skull. The defect might be congenital, the result of trauma to the head or a complication from an earlier surgery. A cranioplasty will not only improve the appearance of the head, but also may provide several medical benefits.
Rourkela Steel Plant successfully performed 3D print skull cranioplasty, a rare surgery, to save the life of a 22-year old critically ill patient. The modern and delicate surgical intervention was performed for the first time in the state, a tweet from the RSP said.
The successful surgery had added another feather to the cap of Ispat General Hospital that had created a niche for itself in the medical services in the project area.
In July 2019, surgeons at the Ispat General Hospital here successfully conducted a rare surgery on a 79-year-old man suffering from chronic subdural haemorrhage, giving him a new lease of life.
In July 2020, doctors of Ispat General Hospital saved the life of 6- year old boy, brought to the hospital in a critical stage after ingesting a castor seed. In a 2-hour bronchoscopy surgery under general anaesthesia, the seed was removed.
