A 6-CM OESOPHAGEAL TUMOUR REMOVED — WITHOUT A SINGLE EXTERNAL INCISION.

A young woman struggling with difficulty swallowing for nearly four months underwent a minimally invasive third-space endoscopic procedure at KIMS Hospitals, Seethamadhara, Visakhapatnam.

Diagnosed as a 6-cm benign oesophageal leiomyoma, the tumour was precisely removed through the mouth using advanced endoscopic techniques—preserving the oesophagus and avoiding an external wound or drain.

The patient resumed oral feeding the very next day and was discharged within three days.

Led by Dr. Chalapathi Rao Achanta, Chief Consultant, Department of Gastroenterology, Interventional Endoscopy & Liver Transplantation, the procedure highlights how advanced therapeutic endoscopy can treat complex conditions while preserving the organ.
