Dr. Kaiwan Randeria Amongst Team Conducting Path-breaking Surgery

ByPT Reporter

The 30th of September, 2020 marked a special day for the Orthopaedic Department of MGM Hospital at Aurangabad, Maharashtra, as they successfully conducted the first simultaneous bi-lateral hip replacement surgery in the Marathwada region. Dr. Kaiwan M. Randeria, a Senior Resident Surgeon in the Orthopaedics Department of MGM Hospital, was part of the team which conducted this cutting-edge operation, led by Dr. Girish Gadekar, Head of Department, Orthopaedics.

The 28-year-old patient, Datta Sawant, a farmer from Jalna, had developed severe deformities in both his hip joints over the past two years and was rendered nearly immobile. In such cases, a two-phase surgery is generally performed with a time interval of three to six months between the hip replacement surgeries on each side. However, this not only results in extra time but also causes more blood loss and increases the cost burden on the patient.

Dr. Kaiwan performed this surgery as part of the team, under Dr. Girish Gadekar, who decided to operate on both the hip joints simultaneously. The patient was able to stand and walk the very next day of his surgery. He was discharged within a week and has been able to walk without the support of a walker, since. Such surgeries are extremely challenging for the surgeons but result in a speedier recovery for the patients. This surgery received extensive coverage and kudos in the regional media.
