Post operative care in medical surgery
Monday, 11 August 2008
THE operation to separate conjoined twins reflects advancement in the country's medical science. More than 50 surgeons, doctors, nurses and technicians of Bangabandhu Medical University Hospital took part in the operations to separate Banya and Barsha, though one of them later died. This death does not surprise us much because in the developed countries such deaths occur. What is noteworthy here is that the expensive and complicated operation was considered impossible in the country only a few days ago. We had to go to the developed countries, mainly Singapore to get such medical service spending a lot of money. The surgeons, doctors and the support personnel of the medical university for the operation, have done such kind of an operation in the country for the first time. It is certainly a remarkable achievement for us.
It is necessary to develop the facilities for such operations in the country. Further development of post operative care, in which we have serious shortcomings, is a must. Now we can get difficult heart and kidney surgery as well as cancer treatment in the country. But in most cases the success stories turn pale because of inadequacies in post operative care. Such shortcomings deprive the country of greater successes in operating complicated medical cases.
