Pulse Multispeciality Hospital recently marked a significant surgical milestone by successfully managing a high-risk case involving a 31-year-old patient with severe trismus. The patient, a chronic tobacco user, presented with a mouth opening of less than 10 mm due to Oral Submucous Fibrosis and bilateral TMJ ankylosis. To address this, a multidisciplinary team led by Surgeon Dr. Vikram Deshmukh, Anesthesiologist Dr. Dipak Poman, and Physician Dr. Manish Kolge performed a complex 4.5-hour procedure involving bilateral fibrotomy and coronoidectomy. Due to the restricted airway, the team successfully executed a precise awake fiber-optic nasal intubation, ensuring patient safety and avoiding an emergency tracheostomy. Following the successful surgery, the patient’s mouth opening improved significantly to 4 cm, showcasing the hospital’s commitment to advanced surgical care and expert anesthesia management in life-altering cases.
