About the Case Presentation
Join us for the Apollo Innovation Series as we explore the revolutionary supraorbital “eyebrow” craniotomy, an innovative approach developed by the neurosurgeons at Apollo Cancer Centre, Chennai. In this session, Dr. Hrishikesh Sarkar will share, for the first time, insights into the revolutionary eyebrow keyhole approach used to treat deeply seated insular brain tumors. This minimally invasive technique marks a significant advancement in the field of neurosurgery and promises to enhance patient outcomes. This minimally invasive technique allows surgeons to access brain tumors through a small incision hidden within the eyebrow line, significantly reducing recovery time, minimizing scarring, and decreasing the risk of complications compared to traditional craniotomies. With excellent cosmetic outcomes and less postoperative pain, this method represents a significant advancement in neurosurgery, combining precision with enhanced patient comfort. Learn how this groundbreaking technique is transforming brain tumor surgery and improving patient care

About the Case Presentation
A 31-year-old woman from Kenya presented at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi, with occasional back and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with Takayasu’s arteritis, a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA), and anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) positivity. Her condition, complicated by the use of immunosuppressants and anticoagulants, posed significant medical challenges, particularly the high risk of aortic rupture. A multidisciplinary team optimized her care, addressing both her autoimmune disease and medication needs. The complex surgical repair of her TAAA was performed using a unique technique developed by Dr. Niranjan Hiremath, with support from Dr. B N Das, showcasing the hospital’s expertise in managing high-risk aortic diseases. This case highlights the importance of innovative approaches and collaborative care in achieving successful outcomes for complex conditions.

Minimal Invasive Mitral Valve Replacement

About the Case Presentation
Surgery to repair the mitral valve is a minimally invasive procedure. Between the upper left heart chamber (left atrium) and lower left heart chamber (left ventricle), the mitral valve maintains blood flow in the proper direction. If the patient’s mitral valve isn’t functioning properly, they need to have it repaired. The surgeon will make one or more tiny incisions in the chest to introduce tiny surgical instruments and cameras if they use a surgical robot to perform the minimally invasive mitral valve replacement. Compared to conventional open-heart surgery, which requires a lengthy incision down the front of the chest, this method is less intrusive.

A complex procedure was successfully performed to treat severe lumbar canal stenosis in a 40-year-old male patient weighing 185kg. Given the urgency of the situation and the patient’s extreme weight, an intricate spinal decompression and stabilisation surgery was performed. Thereafter the patient regained his ability to walk and control his body functions. India’s first-ever single-hole robotic cholecystectomy using conventional robotic instruments was successfully performed for a 60-year old male patient diagnosed with cholelithiasis, thickened gallbladder containing multiple large calculi each over 3 cm in size. This procedure, typically available in western countries with expensive specialized equipment, marks a significant milestone in Indian healthcare. The surgery was successfully completed within one hour without any major complications.
