Yashoda Children’s Hospital in Kalaburagi achieved a medical milestone by successfully operating on a three-month-old boy with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a rare and life-threatening birth defect.

Highlights:

  • Condition: CDH, caused by a diaphragm defect, allows abdominal organs to enter the chest, impairing lung development.
  • Procedure: A two-hour laparoscopic surgery led by Dr. Krishna Induvasi and a pediatric team corrected the defect.
  • Recovery: The baby, initially on ventilator support, fully recovered in seven days.

Dr. Prashant Kulkarni emphasized the critical nature of timely intervention for CDH, highlighting the collaborative efforts of the hospital staff. The baby’s parents expressed heartfelt gratitude to the team for saving their child.
