Hyderabad: Durgabai Deshmukh Renova Cancer Centre, Vidyanagar, has achieved a significant milestone by successfully performing the first-ever Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) surgery in East Hyderabad. This complex procedure was conducted on a 52-year-old woman, Nayini Lalitha, from Mudigonda village in Khammam district, who suffered from Pseudomyxoma Peritonei, a rare form of cancer affecting only one in a million individuals. Lalitha had been experiencing abdominal distension, breathlessness, loss of appetite, and weight loss for the past four months.

After consultations with various corporate hospitals in Khammam and Hyderabad, her family was faced with the daunting prospect of expensive treatment due to the advanced stage of her disease. Seeking a solution, they approached Durgabai Deshmukh Renova Cancer Centre, where Dr. U. Azad Chandrashekhar, Medical Director & Senior Surgical Oncologist, took on the challenge.

Dr.Chandrashekhar and his team meticulously planned and executed the intricate HIPEC surgery, which involved a combination of cytoreductive surgery and heated chemotherapy delivered directly to the abdomen. This procedure, lasting 10-12 hours, included Peritonectomy, Cholecystectomy, Gastrectomy, Sphincterotomy, Jejunal Resection, Total Colectomy, Gastrojejunostomy, Ileorectal Anastomosis, and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy.

Remarkably, Lalitha recovered fully within a week, thanks to the expertise of the medical team and the comprehensive post-operative care provided at the center. This successful outcome underscores Durgabai Deshmukh Renova Cancer Centre's commitment to providing advanced cancer care at affordable costs, ensuring accessibility for all.
