Rare Bladder Tumour Operated Successfully with Robotic Surgery in Max Hospital, Mohali

Mohali, February 28, 2024: Max Super Specialty Hospital, Mohali, achieves a medical milestone with the successful robotic surgery to treat a rare bladder tumor known as paraganglioma. The 32-year-old patient, who was initially undergoing treatment for Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor in Patiala, presented to Max Hospital Mohali's emergency department with severe lower abdominal pain.

 
Dr. Muninder Singh Randhawa, Senior Consultant, Urology, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Mohali, explained the case and said, “As the tumor was affecting both the bladder and left ureter, causing significant pain and urinary complications. Despite the rarity of the tumor, the medical team swiftly diagnosed the condition and conducted further investigations, including cystoscopy and ga dotanoc Pet CT. Surprisingly, the patient did not exhibit common symptoms associated with paragangliomas, such as headaches or high blood pressure. The comprehensive evaluation led to the decision for a partial cystectomy and ureteric reimplantation, a complex surgical procedure.”

The success of the surgery, coupled with the patient's smooth recovery post-operation, underscores the hospital's commitment to employing advanced medical techniques for the treatment of rare and challenging medical conditions.”
