About Chandrakant Barkade's Treatment

Chandrakant Barkade, a 67-year-old patient, visited Medicover Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, with a large back swelling that had been present for nearly 35 years. Over time, the swelling had become increasingly uncomfortable, prompting him to seek definitive medical care.

He consulted Dr Sarang Paramhans Bajpai, Consultant General, Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgeon, who carefully evaluated the long-standing condition and advised surgical removal as the most effective solution. Despite the prolonged duration of the swelling, the treatment journey was managed efficiently and with clear communication, helping Mr Barkade feel confident and reassured throughout the process.

Patient Words

I was admitted to the hospital on a Sunday and met the doctors, including Dr Sarang Bajpai and Dr Nitin. The surgery was done the very next day. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the surgery, the professionalism of the hospital staff, and the overall care management throughout my stay at Medicover Hospitals.

What is a Back Swelling?

A back swelling refers to an abnormal lump or mass that develops beneath the skin or within deeper tissues of the back. When present for many years, such swellings are most commonly benign in nature but may gradually increase in size and cause discomfort.

Common causes of back swelling include:

Lipoma: A benign fatty growth and one of the most common causes of long-standing back swellings.
Soft tissue cysts or tumors: Non-cancerous growths arising from connective tissues.
Chronic infections or abscesses: Can lead to persistent localized swelling.
Post-traumatic swellings: Resulting from old injuries or repeated strain.

Symptoms may include visible enlargement, discomfort while sitting or lying down, pressure sensation, or cosmetic concerns. Diagnosis usually involves physical examination and imaging studies to determine the nature, size, and depth of the swelling before treatment planning.
