Briefs From Kurnool: KIMS Doctors Clear Blood Clot From Intestine
Kurnool: A 74-year-old woman from Kurnool, with diabetes and hypertension, faced a life-threatening condition when a blood clot blocked the artery supplying her small intestine, causing 50 centimetres of it to become necrotic. Initially treated at a private hospital, she was later shifted to KIMS Hospital in Kurnool. Consultant Surgical Gastroenterologist Dr Sura Janakiram performed a two-stage surgery, removing the necrotic portion and creating a stoma. Interventional Radiologist Dr Ashok Reddy administered thrombolytic agents to dissolve the blood clots. Six weeks later, her intestine was successfully reconnected, restoring normal bowel function. The patient has fully recovered, resuming a normal diet and lifestyle. Dr Janakiram highlighted the critical role of advanced medical care at KIMS in the success of this complex procedure.
