As the Founder and Surgeon Head of the hospital, Dr. Mohana Rao states, ‘I am happy to serve the residents of Guntur and Andhra Pradesh through my hospital. I have strived to offer the best possible neurological treatment to my fellow residents.’ He shares the critical case of Mr. Rao who successfully recovered from a debilitating brain tumor in a couple of weeks.
Mr. Raghava Rao Gadagottu, 70 YO male patient visited Dr Rao’s Hospital in Guntur with complaints of headache, mild confusion, altered integration functions and memory loss. He had been suffering since quite some time < no. of months/years>.
As the leading head neurosurgeon, Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla conducted a thorough investigation of the patient reveled Posterior Corpus Callosal Glioma with hypertension. In simple words, it means a tumor was found in the corpus callosal, a c-shaped nerve fibre bundle located in the middle of the brain that connects both the hemispheres.
The first line option for treating any tumor is to remove it completely or as much as possible. At times, complete removal of tumor is not possible as it may damage the important areas of the brain. The other treatment options being radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Similarly in the case of Mr. Raghava Rao Gadagottu, surgery was the only way to remove the tumor and restore his normal health as much as possible. Dr. Rao suggested surgery to remove the tumor with the main concern of protecting the motor functions.
Upon Mr. Raghava Rao Gadagottu’s assent, Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla and his team proceeded with surgery to remove the tumor on 25/7/2020. As planned in advance,the focus was to excise the tumor without damaging the motor functions of the brain.
Dr. Mohanarao and his team were able to perform left parietal mini craniotomy and subtotal excision of the tumor using SONASTAR dynamic machine available at Dr Rao hospital, in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. The SonaStar is the ultrasonic tool that helps in neuromonitoring and diffusion tensor imaging based surgery of the tumor. The outcomes of the surgery is far better as the excision of tumor is highly precise. Considering the risk of akinetic mutism i.e. patient rendered unable to move or speak, 30% of the tumor was left untouched as it was high grade in nature as well.
On the overall, the craniotomy was a successful one and the patient was discharged in a couple of days. Moreover, the patient’s condition greatly improved and was able to perform routine functions independently
Extremely humane and compassionate in nature, Dr Rao states, ‘I am always available to my patients and promise to offer them comprehensive care especially in brain, spine and nerve issues. Also, I have plans to offer affordable neurosurgery and allied treatments to all sections of the society for their well-being.
