Muneeba, a 26-year-old woman, faced significant difficulty eating after battling throat cancer. Returning to the joy of meals seemed nearly impossible. However, at Patel Hospital's Gastroenterology Department, we employed a resourceful technique called "endoscopically" to assist her.
Her food pipe had significantly narrowed, making normal eating a challenge. Instead of the conventional approach through her mouth, we gently guided an endoscope through the tube in her stomach. This unconventional route allowed us to fix the narrow part from within.
Surprisingly, after just one session, Muneeba began eating again! And after four sessions, she no longer required the tube. While this method isn't common, it proved highly effective for Muneeba. Now, she can once again relish the taste of food, all thanks to the innovative approach undertaken at Patel Hospital.

Hospitalized in the cardiac ward, Patel Hospital's cardiothoracic surgical team swiftly mobilized to alleviate Kashif's suffering. With meticulous precision, the team performed a complex open-heart surgery, excising a substantial 5x4 cm tumor from his left atrium.

In March 2023, a 2.5-year-old boy named Zahid Islam was referred to Patel Hospital's Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) department due to trouble breathing through his right nostril. He had a growth in his right nostril causing a blockage, making it hard for him to breathe. The doctors also noticed swelling in his neck. His parents had taken him to several local clinics over the past three months, but his condition kept getting worse.
The ENT team at Patel Hospital quickly started helping the boy. They found a soft, growth-like mass in his right nostril. A scan showed that this mass was in the right upper jaw, near the nasal area.
The hospital's cancer and surgery experts discussed the case and recommended a small operation to take a sample of the mass. They spoke with the boy's father to explain the situation and what they needed to do. Even though it was a tough situation, the family trusted the hospital team completely.
After taking a small piece of the growth for testing, the hospital found out it was a type of cancer called "embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma." The boy started treatment right away with a special medicine called chemotherapy. As he got more treatments, he started feeling better. Now, he's happy and healthy, playing with his family.
The hospital still checks on the boy regularly. It's important to quickly take care of children's health problems, so they can grow up strong and healthy. If your child is sick, it's best to see a doctor right away.
