Part of patient’s skull misplaced after surgery
Bengaluru: The Whitefield police have registered an FIR against two surgeons of Vydehi hospital for allegedly misplacing a piece of a patient’s skull while performing a surgery.
The accused doctors have been identified as Dr. Guru Prasad and Dr. Rajesh. The police registered an FIR against the doctors based on a complaint lodged by Rukaminiyama – the mother of Chikkamagaluru based patient Manjunath.
According to Rukminiyama, her 25-year-old son Manjunath had been admitted to Vydehi hospital as he suffered from severe headache. After tests, he was advised to undergo surgery immediately as there was a clot in his brain.
The doctors removed a bone flap from Manjunath's skull during surgery, saying that the brain had swollen and the flap would be replaced later. When they went back to the hospital later seeking surgery for replacement of the skull flap, Guruprasad and Rajesh told them the part had been thrown into a dustbin, she alleged.
However, Dr B Guruprasad told that the patient's family had not understood the procedures despite being clearly told the part cannot be replaced.
Manjunath has two young daughters and his widowed mother works as a domestic help to support his treatment and the family.
Police have sought supporting documents from the complainant about the allegations.

Punjab Education Minister Harjot Bains on Thursday announced the closure of all schools, colleges and universities, government, private and aided, across the state for three days as a precautionary measure. Leaves of all Punjab Police personnel were cancelled with immediate effect. Similar strategies were implemented in Haryana, where the police and health departments recalled all employees from leave to ensure continuous service and increased readiness.
National Health Mission directed the workers of Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAMs) and Urban Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (UAAMs) in Chandigarh to be put on emergency duty, and medical leave was suspended until further orders.
In Jalandhar, drones were reported to be neutralized around 11:20 p.m. by the security forces. A total blackout was announced at 8:30 p.m. in areas such as Amritsar, Fazilka, Rupnagar, Ludhiana, Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, and Mohali.
Locals heard loud sounds and were instructed to remain indoors and switch off lights. Pathankot Deputy Commissioner Aditya Uppal instructed the citizens to strictly follow to the blackout procedures in order to maintain their safety.
Meanwhile, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (Mohali) district administration announced the territory a "No Flying Zone" for drones and UAVs up to July 5, as per Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The restriction does not concern law enforcement agencies or other permitted government bodies.
Special emergency response units consisting of district administration members, police, and civil defence have been set in motion at all levels, starting from village to district, to take charge of any emerging crisis.
