Mangaluru: Srinivas Hospital successfully conducts ‘rarest of rare’ brain tumor surgery
Mangaluru: Srinivas Hospital on Saturday organised a press conference and announced that the Srinivas Medical College Hospital has become the first hospital to conduct a rarest of rare brain tumor surgery.
According to the information given by the hospital, the surgery was conducted on a 43 year old woman who was suffering from severe headache for several days.
“She was suffering from such severe headache that she was not in a position to speak properly when she first reported to the hospital” Bhaskar, Chief Marketing Consultant told Vartha Bharati.
Upon investigating the case and analyzing through Brain CT and MRI scans, a ‘huge’ tumor was discovered in her head which was very complicated and complex to be operated.
Dr. Deepak Suraparaju took up the challenge and urged the family of patient to immediately opt for surgery to avoid further damage to the woman and her health.
“It was a marathon surgery which lasted for eight long hours” Bhaskar said while adding that the woman was shifted to normal ward from ICU after the surgery within two days and was then discharged within five days. He claimed it to be a record time for a brain tumor patient to have recovered. And that came in a rarest of rare case.
Since the patient had financial constraints several organisations came together to raise money for her surgery through WhatsApp.
“Even the hospital offered drastically discounted cost of surgery looking at her financial constraints” Bhaskar added.
The patient is believed to be completely tumor free now and is able to work normally. Hospital official added.
Medical College Hospital Registrar Dr. Anil Kumar, Superintendent Dr. Amar, Dr. Uday Kumar Rao, Naveen Bhandari, Bhaskar Aras and others were present at the press conference.

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.
Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.
The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.
However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.
Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.
The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.
Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.
SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
