WASHINGTON: The world's first surgery was conducted by a surgeon led by robot in the world. In this, the tumor was successfully removed from a patient's neck. Cordoma is a very complex form of cancer that occurs in the scalp and spinal cord. Cordoma's tumor accepts slowly very slowly and for several years it has no symptoms.
Noa Pernikoff, 27, of America, was injured in a car accident in 2016. After recovering from minor injuries, there was a lot of pain in his neck. After this X-ray was done, in which his injury in the neck was detected. These wounds were not associated with the accident and they were going to create much more worry than the injury they suffered. After this there was a biopsy of that place. It came out in a matter of being afflicted with his cordoma.
Parnikoff said, "I am very lucky that they searched for it long ago. In many people it is not detected early, and due to this early treatment can not be possible. "Surgery is the best option for cordoma treatment, but it was very difficult in case of Pernikoff. In this way, he had the second option of proton therapy.
As we have told you that cordoma is a rare disease, it affects only one million people every year. In the case of Pernikoff, the Cordoma C-2 was in vertebrae. This is even more rare and its treatment is very challenging. In August of the University of Pennsylvania, USA, Pernikoff underwent robotic surgery. The robot was used in the second part of the surgery in three stages.
The surgery team headed by Assistant Professor Neil Malhotra has done this surgery. Pernikoff's surgery took place in three stages. In the first round, neurosurgeon cut the spinal cord near the tumor in the back of the patient's neck so that the tumor could be removed from the mouth in the second stage.
After the success of the first stage, through the use of surgical robot, the team of doctors cleared his neck from the neck so that Malhotra could remove the tumor and part of the spinal cord. In the final stages, the team fitted Pernikoff's spinal cord to his earlier position. After nine months of surgeries, Pernikoff returned to work.
