Bhubaneswar, May 5, 2025 (OT Webdesk ) – In a groundbreaking medical advancement, Capital Hospital in Bhubaneswar has successfully performed its first laparoscopic endoscopic thyroid surgery, eliminating visible neck scars and improving patient recovery.
Previously, thyroid surgeries were carried out using conventional methods, often leaving noticeable scars.
The pioneering procedure was performed on a 28-year-old woman from Banapur who was diagnosed with thyroid enlargement. Employing the advanced “axillo-breast approach,” surgeons made small incisions in the armpit area to access and remove the thyroid gland, preserving the patient’s aesthetic appearance.
The surgery was meticulously executed by a specialised surgical team comprising experts from Capital Hospital and PGIMER.
Medical professionals involved in the operation included Dr. Srikanta Patra, Dr. Priyambada Sahu, Dr. Ramapada Mohapatra, and anesthesiology experts Dr. Ravi Kumar and Dr. Shreyan Das. Under the guidance of senior medical professionals, the surgery was successfully completed without complications.
With this innovative technique, Capital Hospital has positioned itself at the forefront of minimally invasive thyroid surgeries in Odisha, offering patients a safer, cosmetically superior option
