About Vaibhav Gavai's Treatment

For Kiran Gavai, seeing her son Vaibhav in intense abdominal pain was terrifying. After sustaining an injury, Vaibhav developed a Pancreatic Duct Leak leading to a Large Pancreatic Pseudocyst. He was rushed to Medicover Hospitals, Nashik, where emergency imaging confirmed the serious nature of his condition. Under the care of Dr Tushar Sanklecha (Consultant Medical Gastroenterology) and team, prompt and precise treatment was initiated. Their expertise and timely intervention played a crucial role in stabilizing his condition and ensuring a safe recovery.

In the Patient Words

"My name is Kiran Gavai, and this is my son, Vaibhav. We came to Ashoka Medicover Hospitals on Sunday night after he was injured. After his CT scan, we were told his condition was critical and needed immediate treatment. We were fortunate to meet Dr Tushar Sanklecha sir and G.B. Singh sir, who ensured my son was safe and out of danger. He is now completely alright and will be discharged today. I am very thankful to all the hospital staff and deeply grateful to the doctors for their supportive care."

What is a Pancreatic Duct Leak with Large Pseudocyst?

A pancreatic pseudocyst forms when leaked pancreatic fluid collects and becomes surrounded by a wall of tissue, often after trauma or pancreatitis. It is not a true cyst as it lacks an internal cell lining.

Common symptoms include:

Severe or persistent stomach pain
Nausea, vomiting, and reduced appetite
Feeling of abdominal fullness
Fever if infection develops

Large pseudocysts can compress nearby organs or become infected, requiring urgent drainage to prevent serious complications.

What Treatment did we provide to Vaibhav Gavai at Medicover?

Based on Vaibhav's critical condition, Endoscopic Cystogastrostomy was performed by Dr Tushar Sanklecha. This minimally invasive endoscopic procedure was selected as the safest and most effective approach.

The procedure steps included:

Accessing the stomach with an endoscope
Creating a controlled opening between the pseudocyst and stomach wall
Placing a stent to allow continuous drainage of fluid into the stomach

This advanced treatment technique relieved pressure, reduced infection risk, and enabled faster recovery without open surgery. Vaibhav responded well and was discharged in stable condition, putting him on a strong path toward full recovery.
