Bolangir, Feb. 1: In a remarkable display of surgical expertise, Dr. Sabyasachi Swain on Saturday, February 01, 2025, led a successful and highly complex procedure at Swaraj Hospital, Bolangir, today. The patient, critically injured in a severe accident, underwent a rare pubic symphysis diastasis repair, a surgery typically seen in childbirth complications, but exceptionally rare in trauma cases.

The condition, pubic symphysis diastasis, involves the separation of the pubic bones and is most often associated with pregnancy or childbirth. When it occurs due to an accident, as in this case, it presents significant challenges for the medical team. The patient’s condition was dire, with injuries threatening vital functions, making the timely intervention of the surgical team crucial.

Dr. Swain, recognised for his precision and calm under pressure, successfully completed the intricate procedure, demonstrating both technical skill and steadfast leadership.

“This was a high-risk operation, but we had the right team in place and we acted swiftly,” Dr. Swain explained.

“The patient’s stable recovery is a direct result of the teamwork and dedication of everyone involved,” he added.

The rarity of pubic symphysis diastasis, with an occurrence rate ranging from 1 in 500 to 1 in 30,000 pregnancies, makes surgical repair especially challenging and seldom performed. The fact that this condition presented due to trauma only heightened the complexity of the case, underscoring the significance of today’s success.

Post-surgery, the patient is reported to be in stable condition and is recovering well, thanks to the timely intervention and expert care provided. The medical community has hailed the outcome as an extraordinary achievement, underscoring the advanced capabilities of Swaraj Hospital.

Dr. Swain’s leadership and the meticulous care of the surgical team were pivotal in this outcome. The hospital extends its deep gratitude to the entire team for their hard work and commitment. Today’s success highlights the high standards of medical excellence and innovation that are becoming synonymous with Swaraj Hospital Bolangir.

This achievement reaffirms the Swaraj Hospital’s dedication to providing cutting-edge medical care in even the most challenging circumstances.
