Dr Anil Sharma of SMS Cardiothoracic and vascular surgery

There would be just one cut to change heart valve and recovery time and cost would be less too

Dr. Anil Sharma of SMS Cardiothoracic and vascular surgery has the purpose of performing mini-thoracotomy open heart surgery to cure the problems of bad valves in the heart. This thesis of Dr Anil has been published in heart India of April- June 2016 edition. He also purports that SMS hospital is the first hospital in the country where valves are being transplanted with minute 5 to 6 mm cuts. He has successfully performed 4 surgeries in last 4 months. 

Dr. US Agarwal of SMS medical college shared that Dr. Sharma has developed a technique of minute cut instead of femoral-femoral bypass surgery. 

At present in normal surgery, there are cuts in three places and a cut of 9 to 10 cm. There is a cut in the leg of about 10 cms which can close the limb artery or cause limb ischemia. In many countries like America, England, France etc surgeons are performing surgery with cuts in three places. 

Mini-thoracotomy technique -

This is a valve repair technique with minute cuts. A minute cut is placed on right side of the patient chest and there is no need for blood transfusion or any danger to the leg. Recovery is quick and the cost is also less. It takes two to three hours to change one valve. 

Rajwanti from Kota 36 years and laadkanwar from Nagpur had leak and shrinkage in both valves, Surendra from Jhunjunu had leak and shrinkage in aortic valve and Sunil from Kaner had both valves faulty. All these people got their lives back through mini-thoracotomy technique.

Trial run for liver transplant has commenced in SMS hospital. Gastro surgery is conducted in the newly built operation theater for transplant purposes. Also, patients are being put in ICU too but at present, the biggest hurdle in not starting the transplant is the machines which have not been bought yet. Re-tendering has been done for various equipment. This process will complete in a month. The first liver transplant would be done in next month.

SMS Professors will act as caretakers os Medcial college students

senior professors and professors would act as caretakers of final year and pre-final year students

Many doctors and professors have come forward for a positive start to make the environment stress free for students at SMS medical college. Now senior professors and professors would act as caretakers of final year and pre-final year students. Teachers will look into students matters from attendance to personal life and will try to provide whatever help they can. This step has been taken to reduce stress among students and increase the quality of their results. At present, the teachers have taken up the responsibility of 400 students at SMS medical college. The teachers would attend to a group of 35 students respectively and keep an eye on their activities. If a student has low attendance then they would be mentored about the situation after knowing the reason. If any student has social, family or financial difficulty then the teachers would try to help them for the same. If any student has problems regarding books or course then also they would be able to discuss it directly with their teachers. 

Why as this started? 

The attendance of many students was coming very low. This was creating a rift between students and teachers. Many students were in a depression. Therefore a meeting was conducted under the guidance of college principal and his decision of teachers becoming caretakers of students was taken. 

Patients will also be benefited 

The college administration feels that after this decision not only the problems of students will be lessened but also they would develop better skills. After some time this positive approach would help them to give a better response to the patients. 

Dr. U.S Agarwal, principal SMS Medical college added that students remain in depression due to many reasons. Sometimes they cannot open up and it affects their results. Also, many students lose attendance because of their problems. At present, we plan to cover final and pre-final year students but in future, we would try to appoint caretakers for all students. If other colleges also start this step it can be very beneficial.
