Ms. Saroman, a resident of Lucknow, had been suffering from persistent pain in the upper part of his abdomen for quite some time. The continuous discomfort was affecting his daily life, and he decided to seek medical help.

Initially, he visited a government hospital (PGI), but the treatment and relief he expected were not achieved there. Concerned about his condition, his brother, Mr. Pradeep Yadav, suggested that he consult specialists at Tender Palm Super-Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, and meet Dr. S. K. Gupta, Director of General & Laparoscopic Surgery.

Following the advice, Ms. Saroman visited Tender Palm Hospital along with his family and consulted Dr. S. K. Gupta. After listening carefully to his symptoms and medical history, the doctor recommended further investigations to understand the root cause of his pain.

An ultrasound examination revealed a serious finding — a large cyst in the liver containing nearly 1.5 liters of fluid. Further investigations confirmed that it was a Hydatid Cyst of the Liver, a parasitic infection caused by worms that can form fluid-filled cysts in organs like the liver.

Hydatid cysts can become dangerous if not treated properly, as they may rupture or cause severe complications.

Dr. S. K. Gupta explained that immediate surgery was not the safest option in this situation. Instead, he first started three months of medical treatment to control the infection and reduce the risk of complications during surgery. This careful preparation helped lower the chances of allergic reactions or other surgical risks.

After completing the medical treatment, the surgical team planned a minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to remove the cyst safely.

During the procedure, two small keyhole incisions were made in the abdomen. Through these tiny openings, Dr. Gupta successfully removed the large cyst wall along with several smaller cysts present inside the liver.

The surgery was performed smoothly, and the infection was completely removed.

Thanks to the minimally invasive approach, the patient experienced less pain and a faster recovery. Ms. Saroman recovered well and was discharged on the third day after surgery.

Today, She is completely healthy and free from the pain that had troubled him for a long time.

Expressing his gratitude, he shared:

“I am very thankful to Dr. S. K. Gupta and the entire team at Tender Palm Hospital. I received excellent treatment and facilities here. My surgery was successful, and now I feel completely fine.”

Dr. S. K. Gupta also highlighted an important health message for the public. He explained that Hydatid cysts and other parasitic infections can often be prevented with simple precautions.

He advised people to avoid eating uncovered street food, cut fruits sold in open areas, and undercooked meat, as these can carry parasites. Vegetables and fruits should always be washed properly before eating.

By maintaining good food hygiene and safe eating habits, the risk of such infections can be significantly reduced.

At Tender Palm Super-Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, advanced laparoscopic surgeries for liver cysts and other complex belly problems are done using modern technology and skilled specialists, making sure patients get safe treatment and recover faster.
