In an extremely complicated operation, doctors at Geetanjali Hospital cured a 4 year old who was suffering from a complex intestinal problem since birth. The child had intestines that were twisted in the opposite direction and this problem was there since birth.

Child Surgeon, Dr Atul Mishra carried out the complex procedure. He informed that the kid had complaints of stomach ached, swollen belly and green vomits since the last few days. On investigation, it was revealed that the child had intestines twisted in the opposite direction and this is what was causing the complication.

Post a two and a half hour operation the doctors were able to twist all the intestines back in the normal form bringing immediate relief to the child. The child will now be kept in ICU for 3 days post which he will be discharged.

Dr Mishra informed that this disease is called malrotation of intestine. It is a very rare form and only 1 in about 5000 kids suffer from the same. He said that if the complication is not cured on time, it may result in blackening of intestines followed by poisoning of the entire body.
