Robotic Excision of Paravertebral Tumour

Treated by Dr. Rajneesh Malhotra , Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket

May 7, 2024

38-year-old patient Erwin, from Indonesia, was visiting India when he felt a stab of headache and pain in the neck. At this juncture, he consulted Dr. Rajneesh Malhotra, Vice Chairman & Head, CTVS, Max Hospital, Saket, Delhi, India, who performed an MRI and CT Scan to confirm a case of paravertebral tumour in the mediastinum measuring about 4cm. The tumour was close to the vertebrae and spinal cord and had a high risk of haemorrhage. Erwin was promptly advised surgery to dissect the tumour using robotic technology. The high precision and better imaging of this surgical method allowed complete access to the tumour. Erwin had a speedy recovery post-surgery and has resumed his routine life without any complications.
