As a last ray of hope, Mr. Ata-Urrehman was rushed to Sahara Hospital. The Trauma Care Unit of Sahara Hospital, immediately assigned the case to a team of seasoned Plastic Surgeons, who after screening the complications involved in the case, decided to proceed with the surgery without any further delay. The patient underwent a two-staged surgery. In stage-1, debridement and fixation of the lower jaw (Mandible) was done. In stage-2, reshaping of the forehead, nose, cheek-bones (Maxilla) and Zygoma was done by approaching through the scalp area. The duration of the stage 1 surgery was 4 hours while that of the stage-2 surgery was 6 hours.
Mr. Ata-Urrehman is now recuperating well and is presently on a soft diet. Moreover, he has also now started speaking with considerable ease. The complex surgery was performed at Sahara Hospital, in two stages by a team of doctors which included Plastic Surgeons - Dr. Vaibhav Khanna and Dr. Romesh Kohli along with an Anaesthetist – Dr. Sandeep Pawar.
