CK Birla Hospital Utilizes Advanced NIFI Technology for Successful Thyroid Surgery
Innovative Approach to Treating Thyroid Swelling (Goiter) at CK Birla Hospital
New Delhi, [Date] – CK Birla Hospital, renowned for its commitment to clinical excellence, has recently achieved a major breakthrough in thyroid surgery. A 59-year-old male patient suffering from a large thyroid swelling (goiter) underwent a successful surgery using the cutting-edge NIFI technology. The patient had long delayed the procedure due to concerns about potential complications and outcomes.
NIFI and Nerve Monitoring: Enhancing Patient Safety in Thyroidectomy
Led by Dr. Mandeep Singh Malhotra, Director of Surgical Oncology at CK Birla Hospital, the medical team recommended thyroidectomy treatment utilizing NIFI technology and nerve monitoring. NIFI employs infrared technology to identify and preserve the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery, greatly reducing the risk of calcium derangement to less than 1%. Additionally, the nerve monitoring system assists in identifying and safeguarding the voice nerve.
Commenting on the case, Dr. Mandeep Singh Malhotra stated, “Previously, this technology was only available abroad, making it an expensive treatment option. However, we are proud to bring it to India at CK Birla Hospital, ensuring safer, more accessible, and affordable treatment for Indian patients. So far, six thyroid surgeries have been performed using this advanced technology, resulting in no post-surgery calcium derangement for any of the patients.”
Near-Infrared Imaging: A Game-Changer in Thyroid Surgery
Near-infrared imaging has proven to be a highly effective technology for identifying the parathyroid gland during surgery. With its availability in India, CK Birla Hospital is able to offer superior clinical outcomes to patients. This adoption of advanced technology aligns with the Make in India initiative, demonstrating the hospital’s commitment to promoting indigenous medical innovations.
