Vinay Samuel Gaikwad, Senior Director at Fortis Healthcare, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The alpitube faecal diversion system helps patients avoid temporary stomas after surgery for rectal cancer, thus decreasing psychological and somatic inconvenience and also avoids a second surgery for closure.
Our team at Fortis Hospital, Manesar, Gurugram is the first in the country to successfully use this innovation. We are delighted to see patients benefiting from novel technology. This appears to be a significant breakthrough in the management of patients with rectal cancer.”
