Delhi Doctors Use Heart Device to Fix Rare Intestinal-Womb Link in Medical First

In a pioneering medical breakthrough, doctors at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi have successfully repaired complex intestinal-womb fistulas using an innovative endoscopic technique. The procedure, performed on two women in their 60s, employed a cardiac occluder device typically used in heart surgeries. This minimally invasive approach offers new hope for patients who have exhausted traditional treatment options. Dr. Anil Arora and Dr. Shivam Khare, assisted by pediatric cardiologist Dr. Neeraj Agrawal, adapted the cardiac device to seal the fistulas, resulting in quicker recovery and a high likelihood of long-term success. This collaborative effort across medical specialties marks a significant advancement in treating challenging gastrointestinal conditions.
