A team of paediatric surgeons operated on an a-day-old baby born with a congenital defect, wherein she had fluid-filled cysts formed in the lung cavity. It was a delicate and critical surgery wherein the survival and later the prognosis of the baby could have been compromised.

The doctors at the at Motherhood Hospital in Kharadi helped a newborn baby girl breathe freely by initially removing fluid from the cyst that was present in her left lung by aspiration process and later performing a lung lobectomy (a surgery to remove one of the lobes of the lung) immediately a day after birth. The baby has now been brought home and is doing well.
