Lucknow, Sept. 8 -- Doctors at SGPGIMS have successfully treated two young children with highly complex abdominal cancers, including a 2.5-year-old girl whose kidney tumour had travelled through the body's largest abdominal vein into the heart, and a four-year-old boy who underwent a major Whipple surgery for a pancreatic tumour involving the duodenum. Both children have recovered well following the challenging procedures. The 2.5-year-old girl from Bihar was diagnosed with a right-sided Wilms tumour, a malignant kidney cancer commonly seen in young children. In her case, the tumour had extended from the kidney into the inferior vena cava (IVC) and further into the right atrium of the heart, making the surgery particularly high-risk. In the second case, the four-year-old boy from Shahjahanpur presented with a large abdominal mass and fever. Investigations revealed a pancreatic tumour involving the duodenum and adjacent structures. Considering that the tumour could be surgically removed, doctors opted for upfront surgery. The child underwent a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy), one of the most complex abdominal operations. Both children were treated under the leadership of Professor Basant Kumar, Professor and Head, Department of Pediatric Surgical Superspecialities, SGPGIMS. SGPGIMS director Professor Radha Krishna Dhiman has congratulated the teams for successfully managing the challenging cases and appreciated their coordinated and patient-centric approach....
