00:00I am here at Amrita Hospital and you can see behind me, there are parents, doctors and some children.
00:06These children were suffering from a serious illness and their journey has been treated by doctors.
00:11It was a very difficult treatment and it took a lot of time.
00:14If we talk about this treatment, if the treatment was not available on time,
00:17you can see the children standing on their feet, they would not be standing here.
00:21And this is the reason why I have come to Amrita Hospital.
00:23We will ask, what was the illness, how was the treatment, how much time did it take, what are the things?
00:28We have the whole team of doctors with us.
00:30First, let's talk to the doctor.
00:31Doctor, what is your name?
00:32My name is Dr. Gaurav Kakkar.
00:34I am the head of Neuro Anesthesia at Amrita Hospital.
00:37This is a complex cholecystis disease that affects all the systems of the body.
00:43And this was treated by a multidisciplinary team and a complex anesthesia surgery.
00:49How tough was this for you?
00:51What was the challenge for you?
00:52This was a very tough scenario because this can happen only in a few hospitals
00:58and it took us at least 2-3 months in planning to reach here.
01:02What was the actual disease?
01:04Actual disease is a complex cholecystis that the spinal cord becomes so crooked from birth
01:09that it affects from the lungs to the heart.
01:13What if the treatment is not available on time?
01:15If the treatment is not available on time, then it affects the entire growth of the child, it can also cause paralysis.
01:19Paralysis.
01:20Other doctors are present with me, we will talk to them.
01:22Sir, what is your name?
01:23My name is Dr. Sachin Gupta and I am a Pediatric Neurosurgeon.
01:26We are a team of 2 people, Dr. Anurag and Dr. Sachin.
01:29What was the matter?
01:30When you saw the tumor, did you treat it successfully?
01:32What was it?
01:33When did it come to you?
01:34And what kind of tumor was it?
01:35Vaibhav came to us at the age of 10 and unfortunately, he knew that he had a tumor
01:41due to which his back was crooked.
01:43But due to fear from the tumor, due to fear from the tumor,
01:46and some people said that he can be cured with local treatment.
01:49Due to that, he delayed his treatment for about 3 years.
01:53And due to that, his problem increased even more.
01:56If we talk about Piyush.
01:57We already know that Piyush has a tumor.
02:00And due to that, due to weakening of the muscles of the back, his back is also crooked.
02:05So, due to that, he has already been treated once for the tumor.
02:09As much tumor as the doctor can remove, he removed it.
02:12But when he came to us, first it was decided that Dr. Tarun will first straighten his back,
02:18and only after that, we will do something for the tumor.
02:21In plain language, the back bone, you developed it again and cured it again.
02:25No, the crookedness of it, we have cured it.
02:28Dr. Sir, what is your name?
02:30My name is Dr. Tarun.
02:31I head Spine Surgery in Amrita Hospital.
02:34And these two children were very challenging cases for us.
02:39Because their back bone was very crooked.
02:42To cure such cases, you need a multidisciplinary team,
02:46which can cure such complex cases.
02:49You need the right technology, so that you can do the surgery safely.
02:54And you can do it in such an institute, where all these cases can be managed.
02:57Can be managed.
02:58Where are you from?
02:59Where is your family from?
03:00Vaibhav is a local resident of Faridabad.
03:03Piyush is from Aligarh, but his family lives in Kuwait.
03:07Where his initial tumor treatment was done.
03:10But after the treatment, his back bone became so crooked,
03:13that not only his spinal cord was at risk, but his heart and lungs were also suppressed very badly.
03:17Was there no treatment in Kuwait?
03:19There was no such facility there, which could cure him.
03:23That's why he sought treatment in India.
03:26How tough is it? How challenging is it?
03:29In India, very few such cases come.
03:31See, for a Spine Surgeon also, these are challenging cases.
03:35So, it is very important that whoever handles these cases,
03:38they should have the experience to cure such cases.
03:41We should have an associated team, like a very capable Neuro Anesthesia Team.
03:46We should have Neurosurgical Support, which helps us to handle the tumor.
03:51And we, being a trained Surgeon, we have to do multiple cuts to realign the spine very well,
03:58so that the child's growth can be normal.
04:01Piyush, what is his name?
04:03Renu.
04:04Renu.
04:05Where have you come from?
04:06We have come from Kuwait.
04:07From Kuwait.
04:08Did you show the child in Kuwait also?
04:10Yes, he had a Tumor Surgery in 2022.
04:13After that, all the Doctors did not meet at one place, because his Spine was in danger.
04:18So, we tried with Doctors, they were saying that Paralysis can happen, if it is done here.
04:23Because there were all Adults Doctors.
04:25So, they said, either show him outside, or go to India.
04:27Then, we tried in India.
04:29How is the child now?
04:30Now, he is fine.
04:31Earlier, he was not well.
04:33His Spine was more than normal.
04:35You must have gone to some other Hospitals.
04:37Didn't you get treatment there?
04:38We had shown him in Medanta Hospital.
04:40They also refused, that we can't do it now.
04:43Because he was very small, and at that time, his weight was also not that much.
04:47So, we waited for a year, showed him to Doctors there, then consulted here.
04:52So, now, he is fine.
04:53Was he like this since childhood?
04:55Actually, we got to know about his Tumor in 3 years.
04:58We got to know about Cancer, after his Tumor Surgery.
05:01He had Cancer also.
05:02Yes.
05:03His little part, which was removed, he had Cancer also.
05:07So, now, the child is completely fine.
05:09Still, there is Tumor, but Spine is fine.
05:11Spine is fine.
05:12What is your name?
05:13Piyush.
05:14Are you fine now?
05:15Yes.
05:16How are you feeling?
05:17I am feeling fine.
05:18You are feeling fine?
05:19You also tease.
05:20See, this is the child.
05:21This is the second child.
05:22Sir, what is your name?
05:23My name is Deepak.
05:24We are from Faridabad.
05:26What happened to Vaibhav?
05:28Vaibhav had Tumor many years ago.
05:31Cervical Tumor.
05:32We knew about it, but till now, we had shown him in 8-10 places.
05:36Everywhere, it was told that his recovery chances are only 1%, means survival chances after surgery.
05:42So, we, other ways apart from surgery, Allopathic, Ayurvedic, Homeopathic, we treated all of them.
05:50We treated him for 2 years, but he did not get any improvement.
05:54We showed him in other places also.
05:56Here, in Amrita Hospital, we showed him to Dr. Sachin Sir and Dr. Anurag Sir.
05:59They assured us that yes, we will do his surgery and there will be no tension.
06:03Means, you have changed 1% chances to 100%.
06:05Yes.
06:07See, this is Vaibhav.
06:08What is your name?
06:09Vaibhav.
06:10How are you?
06:11I am fine.
06:12Which class do you study in?
06:13I study in B6.
06:14You study in B6?
06:15Yes.
06:16Are you feeling good?
06:17Yes, I am feeling good from the beginning.
06:18You are feeling good from the beginning.
06:19There is a lot of improvement.
06:20There is a lot of improvement.
06:21Yes.
06:22So, is there any problem now?
06:23No, there is no problem in walking or roaming.
06:24Was there any problem before?
06:25Yes, there was a lot of crookedness.
06:26A lot of crookedness.
06:27Now, there is no crookedness.
06:28No.
06:29Now, do you want to go to school?
06:30Yes, I want to go to school.
06:31Do you want to go to school?
06:32Yes.
06:33See, these are the parents and these are the small children and the doctors of Amrita Hospital,
06:34the whole team, they have given a new life to the children because such cases are very
06:38rare.
06:39Especially, if there are such cases in the children and if the treatment is not given
06:43at the right time, then there will be a lot of problems in the future.
06:46We are talking about tumors and because of the tumor, the spinal bone is not completely
06:50treated.
06:51So, it can be completely finished.
06:52But getting treatment on time with a complex operation and a complex team, taking the right
06:56step, is a good thing for the children and is a life-giving work for the children.
07:00And this is the reason that the doctors of Amrita Hospital once again proved that the
07:04sun of God is not another doctor on earth.
