Noora Hospital Achieves Milestone with Third e-TEP Bilateral TAR Surgery in Kashmir
Noora Hospital in Kashmir has successfully performed an e-TEP Bilateral TAR procedure, an advanced minimally invasive surgical technique for treating large and complex ventral hernias. This marks the first time this specific procedure has been conducted at Noora Hospital and the third instance in the Kashmir Valley. The surgery involved retromuscular mesh placement and abdominal wall reconstruction, carried out by Dr. Imran Abdullah Khan, a laparoscopic, bariatric, gastrointestinal, and abdominal wall reconstruction surgeon, with Dr. Showkat Ahmad serving as the anaesthetist. The Extended Totally Extraperitoneal Transversus Abdominis Release (e-TEP) technique allows for extensive abdominal wall reconstruction through a minimally invasive approach, facilitating tension-free restoration of the abdominal wall. This achievement underscores the hospital's commitment to introducing specialized surgical procedures and enhancing access to advanced healthcare services in Jammu and Kashmir.
