CUDDALORE:
Two paediatricians of Rajah Muthiah Medical College Hospital, functioning under Annamalai University at Chidambaram, have done a rare surgery on a grossly under-weight pre-term baby.
A statement from the university said that medical team comprising Raveenthiran and Dakshinamoorthy successfully performed the surgery on October 20 on the extremely pre-term and palm-sized female baby weighing hardly 800 grams. The baby was born at 32 weeks of pregnancy.
She was suffering from a peculiar malformation called amniotic band syndrome. In this condition the mother's placental membrane would get detached and strangulate the foetal parts. Consequently, a deep encircling scar was caused in the baby's limbs. If left untreated the ring of scar would hamper blood supply and cause auto-amputation of limbs.
Hour-long surgery
After an hour-long surgery the medical team removed the scar and also carried out a plastic surgery. The baby is well and is still under intensive care. Vice- Chancellor of Annamalai University M.Ramanathan and Medical College Dean N.Chidambaram congratulated the team.
