Mayabunder: What began as severe abdominal pain and persistent vomiting for a young woman from Webi soon turned into a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention. Thanks to the prompt diagnosis and life-saving efforts of doctors at Dr. R.P. District Hospital, Mayabunder, the 22-year-old patient is now on the road to recovery.
The woman was rushed to the hospital after suffering acute abdominal pain and vomiting for a day. Recognizing the seriousness of her condition, the medical team immediately conducted a thorough evaluation. An ultrasonography (USG) examination revealed the presence of a dermoid cyst, prompting doctors to prepare for urgent surgery.
During the emergency laparotomy, surgeons discovered a twisted ovarian cyst measuring approximately 12 x 8 cm — a condition that can lead to severe complications if not treated in time. The cyst was successfully removed and subsequently sent for histopathological examination.
The delicate procedure was expertly performed by Dr. Meenakshi, Gynecologist, with anaesthetic support provided by Dr. Arnold Ashu, Specialist Anesthetist. The operation was assisted by dedicated OT staff members Ms. Suhasini and Shri Tamay, whose coordinated efforts contributed significantly to the success of the surgery.
Hospital authorities commended the medical team for their professionalism, swift decision-making and commitment to patient care. The successful treatment underscores the growing capacity of Dr. R.P. District Hospital to handle critical emergencies and provide quality healthcare services to residents of North and Middle Andaman.
