By Vivek, Mohali, July 20: An advanced surgery for cancer of the gall bladder was successfully performed at Fortis Hospital, Mohali on 55 year old Mr. Paramjeet Singh by a team of surgeons headed by Dr. Rudra Prasad Doley, Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgeon, Fortis Hospital, Mohali. The intricate surgery involved a Liver resection in which part of the liver was taken out. This type of extensive operative procedure is conducted at very few centres in Northern India. According to Dr. Doley, who specializes in diseases of the GI tract, liver, biliary system and the pancreas, “This radical surgery offers the only chance of cure or prolongation of survival time. Benefits of chemotherapy and radiotherapy are very modest.”
