Vadodara: A 60-year-old woman falls a prey to a storm post covid mucormycosis (mm).
While he even lost his left eye’s vision due to black mushrooms, he could relieve the fact that his face was not deformed after surgery.
The majority of MM cases involving optics, patient eyeballs are removed.
But an ENT surgeon at the Gmers Medical College and Hospital, Gotri has begun to adopt the technique through which the patient does not have to carry such a permanent scar.
The MM surge recently witnessed many patients who lost their vision and other body parts.
“Until now, we have operated three such patients including two women and one male through the permission of the mushroom orbital with the preservation of the eyeball,” said Dr.
Hiren Soni, an ENT surgeon at GMers Hospital, Gotri.
“But using a nose endoscope approach, we violate the orbitals of Shield and without putting external scars, we remove all diseases,” said Soni, who has used this approach for the first time in Vadodara and maybe in all countries.
“After removing the disease with an endoscopic approach and preserving the good muscles and the eyeballs that are not involved, we can ensure that we fight the disease and provide better cosmetic results,” he said, only the mushroom debris.
And the necrotic (dead) section is removed when the eyeball is maintained.
“After the exenteration (eyeball removal) which is a standard treatment, the patient has a permanent scar.
Instead, with endoscopic orbital permission, there are no scars like that.
In fact, a layman will not be able to recognize the difference between the eyes,” he said.
